All sessions will include question periods, and an open reception with the speakers will be held immediately afterwards.

Time: 4:00-6:30pm
Location: The University of Texas at Austin – ACES Auditorium (ACES 2.302)For details, visit www.UTBBTChairObjectivism.com or email [email protected].
For those of you in Colorado rather than Texas, the Philosophy Department at the University of Colorado at Boulder will be hosting a debate between Dr. Onkar Ghate and Dr. Michael Huemer on the Objectivist ethics on March 2nd from 7:30 to 9:00 pm in the Old Main Chapel, as part of its Think! series. I’m the graduate student promoter/organizer of the series, so I’ll be posting more details on this debate when I have them settled. It should be an excellent event.
