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 was Margaret Moore, Professor of Philosophy and Political Studies and Director of the Centre for the Study of Democracy and Diversity at Queen's University. Professor Moore visited in February 2024. In 2022–2023, the Philosophy Program was pleased to host Quassim Cassam, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick.
