News and EventsPhilosophy research: Professor Terry Kelly and "When is a promise broken?"
More than 20 college professors took that challenge at an event called "Rapid Fire: Research and Creative and Scholarly Work at UAA.". Their aim was two-fold: Connect with some curious undergraduates who'd like to get involved in research, or entice other faculty to collaborate. Terry Kelly is an ethicist in the philosophy department with the demeanor of a stand-up comic. "And you might ask," he said as he took the stage, "what kind of research does a philosopher do? It's not that different from the stereotype." * * * * * * * * * * "Climaxing Changes in Climate Change Thought" with Dr. Casey Rentmeester Casey Rentmeester, Ph.D. , teaches in the Department of Philosophy at UAA. At this event, he highlights current changes in the field of environmental philosophy. For more information, contact Rachel Epstein at repstein2@uaa.alaska.edu or (907) 786-4782.
