Monday Seminar Series

On most Mondays, the Kenan Institute hosts a wildly interdisciplinary seminar that brings together faculty and graduate students from across the University to discuss cutting edge research in ethics broadly conceived. The Monday Seminar serves as a community of scholars to support the ongoing work of the Institute’s Graduate Fellows and is organized around a series of informal talks led by a mix of local, national and international researchers from a various disciplines.

Schedule

All meetings take place from 12-1:30pm in room 101 of the West Duke Building. Lunch is provided.
