Featured Courses
PHIL 271: Philosophy of Race
What does "race" mean? Better yet, how does "race" operate within our rapidly changing social world? This course will explore the historical exposure (and silencing) of discourses of race using various traditional and unique philosophical texts as our guide. Through classroom discussions, written assignments, critical reflections, and creative engagement with varied readings students will become familiar with the numerous ways that "race" impacts our daily lives.
PHIL 463: Social Justice and Philosophy of Language
This course uses the tools of philosophy of language to consider social justice issues related to communication. Students will apply these theoretical tools to real-world topics of interest to them. Topics may include gendered language, the role of language in oppression, linguistic manipulation, and the language of resistance.
PHIL 371: Consciousness
This course explores some of the most challenging debates in the philosophy of consciousness through interdisciplinary engagement with ideas from psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, and biology. Students will examine theories of qualia, the “hard problem” of consciousness, higher-order thought theories, information integration theories, and reductive and eliminative approaches shaped by emerging neuroscientific research. The course also investigates the role of embodiment in conscious experience, the nature of consciousness in non-human animals, and the possibility of conscious machines. Emphasis is placed on connecting philosophical argument with empirical work in the sciences and cross-cultural perspectives on mind, self, and experience. We may even ask some ethical questions about what is owed to conscious beings.
