DePaul’s Department of Philosophy and HumanitiesX will host a virtual conversation with Prof. Agnes Callard of the University of Chicago on January 25, 2021 at 1 pm. Throughout her career—and throughout the pandemic—Callard has written about philosophy for public audiences. During this one-hour conversation, Prof. Callard will share with us how and why humanities scholars write for non-scholarly audiences. Dr. Agnes Callard is an Associate Professor in Philosophy at the University of Chicago, specializing in Ancient Philosophy and Ethics. She has published in the Boston Review, The New Yorker and The New York Times, and writes a column on public philosophy for The Point magazine. With L.A. Paul, Callard received the 2020 Lebowitz Prize, awarded by the American Philosophical Association and Phi Beta Kappa. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2019.
We hope you'll join us!
