Events

Colloquia

The Philosophy Department presents a number of colloquia throughout the academic year. Speakers are drawn from international as well as American universities. Many of them are from campuses in the region, including UC Davis, where our visiting faculty customarily give a talk to the Department. The links to the left give names, dates, and titles of past colloquia since 1995. The Web pages covering the years from 1998 on since also contain digital photographs of nearly all of the speakers.

Workshops

Workshops in the Philosophy Library occur on Friday afternoons throughout the year.  The workshop series offers students, faculty. and the occasional visitor an opportunity to present and discuss their work-in-progress before a friendly audience of their peers.

Conferences

The Philosophy Department holds occasional philosophy conferences in which visiting speakers present their research. These conferences draw participants and audience members from many different institutions as well as from UC Davis. Recent conferences include one honoring Professor Emeritus Paul Teller and a session of the West Coast Plato Workshop.
