This year's symposium—Island: An Image as Philosophy—focuses on the practice of engaging images as philosophy, which our speakers will showcase through the specific image of the island.  We are honored to have as our speakers professors Joëlle Vitiello (French and Francophone Studies)—an established scholar of, among others, Caribbean literature and culture—and Brad Stiffler (Media and Cultural Studies)—a Mac alumnus and promising cultural theorist, including of punk subculture. 

Graduating CT concentrators will be acknowledged at the beginning of the event.  As usual, we are planning on a long Q&A, even if this year each of us will have to rely on our own food and drinks (boo-hoo…). 

For more information please see the attached flyer—and distribute/post on your favorite social media so as to invite your students, peers, alumni, friends, and anybody you think would be interested in the event!

We are thankful to our generous speakers and to all faculty and students who make the annual CT symposium and generally the CT concentration possible.

Looking forward to seeing you all on at the symposium!
