Media share Mitchell Center event about philosophy in sustainability
The Bangor Daily News, Penobscot Bay Pilot and CentralMaine.com shared that Senator George J. Mitchell Center for Sustainability Solutions at the University of Maine will host a talk, “Field Philosophy as Engaged Research: Practice, History, and Theory” at 3 p.m. on April 19. Adam Briggle, associate professor and director of graduate studies in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas, will discuss how philosophers have fallen victim to disciplinary capture, which consigns them to irrelevance or, at best, very indirect impacts. Registration is required to attend remotely; to register and receive connection information, see the event webpage.
