Philosophy Distinguished Lecture Series

The Distinguished Lecture in Philosophy Series is designed to bring to Weber State scholars whose research bridges the gap between philosophy and other disciplines. Its goals are to demonstrate to both our students and the community at large how various fields of study can be mutually reinforcing, as well as to expose the community to central philosophical questions and topics, presented by an expert in the field.

11th Annual Distinguished Lecture in Philosophy: Moral AI and How We Get There

Haven J. Barlow Lecture Hall (Lindquist Hall 101)
Dr. Walter Sinnott-Armstrong 
Chauncey Stillman Professor of Practical Ethics in the Department of Philosophy and the Kenan Institute for Ethics, Duke University


The future success of the Series will depend on the generosity of our patrons, as we continue to build our endowment.
