Connecting Research to the Public Good: 2025 Annual Fall Lecture Series
2 October 2025 - 13 November 2025
EVENT DESCRIPTION
Each year, the Rotman Institute of Philosophy organizes a public lecture series open to the public. The theme for this year’s lecture series is Connecting Research to the Public Good.
Abstract
The Public Good and higher education are traversing constantly-shifting political, economic, and social terrain.
What role do we have — as academic researchers, teachers, students, leaders of research centers and institutes, and members
of our communities and society — to connect our work to the Public Good? How can we best attend to the needs and interests of
communities and society? And how ought we envision the Public Good and the role of higher education within it?
Please join us in welcoming Professor Bri Watson (UWO), Professor Cheryl Currie (UWO), Professor Treena Orchard (UWO), and others to be announced for this year’s series: Connecting Research to the Public Good.
