Philosophy Colloquia
Each semester the Department of Philosophy sponsors Department Seminars.
These are occasions at which distinguished scholars from other institutions
are invited to interact with students and other members of the Bryn Mawr community.
Guest speakers typically provide background readings which are distributed
to Bryn Mawr philosophy majors and minors beforehand. All majors and
minors are required to attend all Departmental Seminars.
All talks are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
