Please join us for the 2nd Annual LACCD Philosophy Conference on April 15, 2011 from 10 AM - 3 PM in Monarch Hall at LA Valley College! The conference will be a celebration of philosophy and a gathering of faculty and students in the sharing of new ideas and opinions: faculty and students will present papers on various philosophical subjects such as ethics, political philosophy, logic, ancient philosophy, etc.
Continental Breakfast and Lunch will be served! Parking is available in lot B and can be accessed from Oxnard Blvd or Fulton Ave. Requests for accommodations for persons with disabilities should be directed to either myself Chris Pallotti pallotc@lavc.edu, Zack Knorr zknorr@gmail.com or Nate Placencia placenn@lavc.edu.
Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Rob Gressis, will be the keynote speaker. Professor Gressis is on faculty at California State University Northridge Philosophy and he will be presenting on what philosophy is. Professor Gressis is an excellent speaker and I am sure he will enlighten us. I am also very excited to announce that our plenary speaker will be Professor of Jewish Studies/Philosophy Zev Garber. Professor Garber is a renowned author/speaker and has been on faculty here at LAVC for over 30 years. Professor Garber will speak on a philosophical-mystical take on the Jewish Jesus to acknowledge the publication of his new edited volume, The Jewish Jesus: Revelation, Reflection, Reclamation (Purdue University Press, 2011).
