The Desire For Normalcy
Date and time:  Thursday, October 20th at 7 p.m.  Reception to follow talk.
Location:  University of Waterloo, Federation Hall, Columbia Room A & B

The Brian Rudrick Visiting Scholar in Philosophy is made possible by a generous bequest by Brian Rudrick. Brian was a pathologist and lab director for Grey Bruce Health Services who completed a philosophy degree entirely by distance education while in professional practice.  After his graduation he was very generous with his time, visiting classrooms to give real life examples of how the skills essential to good philosophy are also crucial for making smart decisions in a medical context.

RSVP is recommended, but not required, to Mary Synnott at msynnott at uwaterloo.ca<mailto:msynnott at uwaterloo.ca>

Parking is available in the following lots close to Federation Hall:  Lot R ($5 per entry),  Lot N (pay and display),  Lot M ($6 per entry).

I hope you'll be able to join us. Feel free to forward this email on to anyone you think may be interested in attending.
