October 8, 2009 (special Thursday talk)
Life Science and Society Speaker: Robert Pennock, Michigan State University
Title: "Beyond Darwin: Explorations in Digital Evolution"
7:30 pm, Monsanto Auditorium, Bond Life Sciences Center
Refreshments at 7:00 pm

October 20, 2009 (special Tuesday talk)
Colloquium Speaker: Kasper Lippert-Rasmussen, University of Copenhagen
Title: "Whom Can I Blame?"
11:00 am - 12:45 pm, Memorial Union S206

Abstract: I argue that blame and praise can be incoherent and that such incoherent blame or praise can be inappropriate for two different reasons. They can be non-morally inappropriate, and they can be morally inappropriate. The former kind of inappropriateness does not, I argue, explain the latter.
