"Pub Talks"

Philosophy is best done in conversation and the Philosophy Department helps facilitate just those sorts of conversations in our semi-regular "Pub Talks," which are held in Rhodes′ newly-opened Lynx Lair.  Pub Talks generally follow the film series and speakers series schedule, providing students an opportunity to interact with faculty in an informal conversation about those events.  However, Pub Talks are not limited to specific events - they are also scheduled for discussions of extra-curricular readings or topics of interest to students and faculty. 

Philosophy Club

The Philosophy Club meets weekly during the seamster on Mondays at 6:00 pm.  If you are interested in participating in the Philosophy Club, which is a student-run organization, please contact Robert Leonard at leorw@rhodes.edu.
