Berkeley-Stanford-Davis Graduate Conference (2010)
Saturday, April 24th, 2010
The graduate students of the Berkeley, Stanford, and Davis philosophy departments welcome the broader philosophical community to our annual conference, dedicated to the presentation and discussion of promising graduate work in California.
This year the conference will take place on the Berkeley campus, in the department's facilities in Moses Hall. During each session, three concurrent presentations will take place in 301 Moses, Howison Library, and the Dennes Room. Comments and a discussion period will follow. Professor Barry Stroud, of Berkeley philosophy, will deliver the keynote address.
We welcome attendees to a complimentary breakfast and lunch in 301 Moses Hall between sessions, as well as drinks after the conference at Jupiter in downtown Berkeley.
