[PhilosophyEvents] FW: Examined Life Message

[Carolyn Jennings]

Dear Students and Colleagues,

Thank you to those who were able to attend Dr. Paul Irikefe’s talk on Friday. Your comments and questions were excellent, and I learned quite a bit from the discussion. A video of the talk is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUzs2SxacHk (the discussion was also recorded but is not posted).

Examined Life is starting back up this term, with the first meeting coming up this Thursday at 5 p.m. (poster attached). Please see the message from organizers, below.

Hello Everyone,

Starting on October 12th, Examined Life will be occurring every Thursday 5-6pm in room COB1 320. If you haven't heard of what Examined Life is, it is an informal group where we come together and brainstorm questions or topics that we want to discuss. We have 4 main categories which are:

What I have been thinking about,
What everyone is talking about,
What no one is talking about,
and A bold idea.

If you have a question or topic that doesn't fit these categories that is completely fine as well!

Our goal with Examined Life is to create a space where individuals from any major can come together to discuss whatever topics they would like to, and learn about topics they may not have heard of inside of their classes.

Attached is a flyer with our meeting time and location, so feel free to send it to anyone you might think would be interested. We look forward to meeting with you all!

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Geo at gangelica at ucmerced.edu.

In the past these meetings have been fun and lively discussions on topics of common interest (such as: what are our obligations as individuals to prevent harm to the environment?). This is the first semester that the meetings will be student run, which we see as a very positive sign for our burgeoning community.

Cheers,
Carolyn Dicey Jennings
