Annual Events
Throughout the year, our department hosts philosophers from around the country for our lecture series, in addition to hosting a philosophy camp each summer for high school students.

Philosophy and Public Affairs Lecture Series
Free and open to the public, the lecture series brings in philosophers who compel audiences to really think and talk about deep questions and complex topics.
Summer Camp
Each year, we offer a day camp during the summer for high school students interested in asking big questions, learning about new perspectives and seeing the world in a new way.
The 2026 session of our Summer Camp will be held from June 22 - 26. This year, students will explore the nature of justice, proper responses to injustice, and the principles that determine just society.
