Overview
Our research and teaching interests cover all of the major areas of analytic philosophy with particular strengths in epistemology and ethics. The size of our Philosophy graduate program at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln allows for close interaction between students and faculty and among the graduate students, in academic and informal settings.
Features
The graduate community is a particularly friendly and supportive one, with a regular Graduate Colloquium series in which graduate students present works in progress on Friday afternoons. Additionally, there are various reading groups, dissertation-writing groups, and a faculty-led Teaching Colloquium, all of which meet regularly throughout the academic year.
The Department has a Speaker Series which brings well-known philosophers to speak on campus, as well as an annual Evans Lecture delivered by a distinguished philosopher, and an annual Chambers Conference, which brings eight visiting speakers to campus.
