Professor Craig Duncan of the Ithaca College Department of Philosophy and Religion will give a talk entitled "The Question of Torture" on Wednesday, February 15, at 7:30 p.m. in Friends 306.
The talk, which will be a mixture of lecture and discussion, will explore the question of torture from the perspectives of moral and legal philosophy, with an eye to illuminating recent controversies over torture. The talk is free and open to the public. It is being sponsored by the Ithaca College Philosophy club.
And again via Intercom:
Simon Deng, a former Sudanese child slave, will be speaking at Ithaca College on February 7 at 7:00 p.m. in Emerson Suite C. He will offer a first-hand narrative of slavery in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Abducted into slavery at age 9, Simon endured a brutal life as a slave before finally escaping at age 11 and going on to become an important voice in the abolitionist movement.
Sponsored by DIIS; the Departments of English, Politics, Philosophy and Religion; the Anthropology club; MAUYA; SGA; IC Journal; Honors Program; the Diversity Awareness Committee; and the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
Both definitely sound interesting, I'm marking my calender.
