Distinguished Philosophers-in-Residence
The Distinguished Philosophers-in-Residence series is one of the Philosophy Program's signature projects. Each year, we bring a different distinguished senior philosopher to NYU Abu Dhabi for a weeklong visit, during which the philosopher-in-residence meets with students, attends one or more classes, delivers a public lecture, and participates in a faculty seminar on issues related to his or her work.
This year's Distinguished Philosopher-in-Residence will be Karen Bennett, Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University. Professor Bennett will be in residence the week of November 3, 2019. Further details related to her visit will be available soon.
