SUMMARY:Philosophy Colloquium: Gene Witmer
DESCRIPTION:“Metaphysics and A Priori Vindication” \nIs there reason to expect any interesting kind of a priori access to metaphysical truths of the sort often in dispute in contemporary philosophy? In this paper I zero in on truths about what is metaphysically necessary and about the essences or natures of things as key topics in metaphysics and aim to delineate a well-motivated thesis about a priori access to such. After examining a few approaches that don’t succeed\, I introduce and defend a positive thesis of “semantic rationalism.” The relevance of that thesis for the topics of metaphysical necessities and essences is then explored\, with attention in particular to whether the rationalism in question has enough bite to be of interest. \nGene Witmer is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department at the University of Florida. His research focuses on metaphysics and philosophy of mind\, with a special focus on physicalism.

SUMMARY:Engaging and Including Student Veterans in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Writing Program Pedagogy Workshop \nThe number of student veterans is rapidly growing\, with more than a million currently enrolled in US colleges. Many institutions support veterans by promoting access to student services but overlook what actually happens in the classroom. What do we need to know as instructors about student veterans’ learning practices\, literacies\, and instructional needs? This workshop will enhance your cultural competence and provide new pedagogical tools to engage and include student veterans in our classrooms. \nDr. Brenda Sanfillipo is a lecturer with the UCSC Writing Program\, Stevenson College\, and Porter College. Her research focuses on representations of war since 9/11. In addition to her academic work and teaching on contemporary warfare\, she spent five years as part of the Army community.
