Wicked cool lunchtime lecture series is going on at UofL this semester. It’s too late to reserve a spot for the one this Thursday so I’m just going to tell you about the rest of them.
University of Louisville professors will serve up a wide range of
their research specialties in areas from bioterrorism to Byzantine
buildings and from fine art to transplant ethics in the College of Arts
and Sciences’ Meet the Professors series.Here are the spring semester talks:
- Feb. 5: “Face Transplantation: A New Frontier in Surgical Ethics,”
Osborne Wiggins, philosophy professor. He will discuss surgical and
ethical questions surrounding the operations and show how surgical
innovations require interdisciplinary approaches involving ethicists
and social scientists.- March 5: “Confessions of an Unapologetic Formalist,” James Grubola,
fine arts professor and department chair. The artist, best known for
his silverpoint drawings, will talk about what influences his work and
how his ideas have evolved in exploring composition, line, mark and
edge.- April 2: “From Emerging Infectious Diseases to Bioterrorism,” Ron
Atlas, biology and public health professor and Center for Health
Hazards Preparedness co-director. A former American Society for
Microbiology president, Atlas will discuss public health protection,
challenges of conducting biodefense research within national and global
security and the One Health initiative to boost cooperation among
physicians, veterinarians and other scientific health researchers.
