Please join the Philosophy Department in welcoming Catherine Malabou, Professor of Philosophy at the European Graduate School and Professor of Comparative Literature and European Languages & Studies at University of California, Irvine, as the speaker at the 33rd Annual Roland Altherr Memorial Symposium. 

Roland Altherr was a philosophy major of the class of 1981 who died of a brain hemorrhage in the fall of his senior year. In his memory, Roland's family and friends have created a generous fund that has allowed the Philosophy Department to acquire important volumes and series in philosophy for the library. The fund also supports the annual Roland Altherr Memorial Symposium in Philosophy. Each year, the senior philosophy majors choose a philosopher to invite to campus. In preparation for the symposium visit, the senior majors and philosophy department faculty read and discuss select works of the invited speaker prior to their arrival.
