Guest Speakers
Bishop's is part of a wider network of scholarship. Throughout the year the philosophy department hosts many guest speakers, students and professors from other schools (some who are graduates of Bishop's) who present their work. Here are some of our planned speakers for the 2007-08 year.
Eleanor Louson - Graduate, class of 2008
I came to Bishop's four years ago to study philosophy and biochemistry. These different fields were impossible to combine at a larger school, but the philosophy department accommodated all of the demands of my science degree. I found Bishop's to be the ideal setting for philosophical inquiry. My teachers took an interest in my studies and gave me opportunities to take on independent study projects and attend philosophy conferences at other universities. There's no question that our small classes enhanced my studies: our lively discussions would even continue all night at the Lion. I presented my thesis on evolutionary theory and will pursue graduate studies in philosophy of science next year at the University of Toronto. I would recommend Bishop's for anyone looking for an outstanding undergraduate philosophy experience.
