We welcome our new administrative assistant Sarah Emmer.
A few, selected items
- First Annual GLCA Undergraduate Conference was hosted by Earlham College. The keynote speaker was Prof. Tina Chanter of DePaul University. You can find her paper entitled "Antigone's Excessive Relationship to Fetishism" here.
- March, 2007. We changed the requirements for our major.
- September 2006. We made a number of changes to our curriculum.
- August 2004. We welcome our new colleagues Kevin Miles and Charles Watson.
- November 22, 2001. We combined Peter's page "Philosophy Graduate Schools Friendly to Continental Philosophy" with Ferit's page "Graduate Programs in Continental Philosophy." You can see the new page by clicking here.
- March 5, 2001: We've made a large number of changes.
- In response to a college-wide initiative, we've renumbered all our courses. If you need to know which old numbers correspond to which new ones or vice versa, see this table. All our web pages except course schedules for 2000-01 and earlier now use the new numbers. If you spot any old numbers we neglected to update, please let us know.
- We changed the names of two courses. (1) "Introduction to Philosophy" will now be known as "Philosophical Inquiry." We wanted to avoid a name which suggested to students and advisors that the course was required for the major or a prerequisite to all advanced offerings. (2) "20th Century Philosophy" will now be known as "Contemporary Philosophy." This change allows us to introduce some 21st century philosophy without false advertising.
- January 28, 2000. Ferit is now on the web! We've linked to his home page from our faculty page.
- October 10, 1998. We put a counter on our front page. This counter provides a wonderful traffic report on the number and origins of the visitors to our site. I thought we were getting two or three visitors per day, but we're getting 10-20 times that many, including a significant number from Europe, Asia, and South America.Whenever you want to see the latest figures, click on the blue "chart" icon at the bottom of the front page —or here.
- May 25, 1998. Peter has created a second edition of his Guide to Philosophy on the Internet. Users may now use the old and familiar single-file edition or the new multi-file edition. The original edition is one, very large file, now approaching 300k. It loads slowly but permits easy browsing and searching. The new edition is a series of smaller files each of which loads quickly.
