Some interesting on-campus events (outside the law school) for this semester.
- Wednesday January 23, Stephen Neale. Neale is the John H. Kornblith Family Chair in the Philosophy of Science and Values at CUNY and an expert on the language of law and the interpretation of statutes and regulations. The event occurs at the School of Business Administration's Storer Auditorium at 3:30 p.m.
- Monday, February 25 and Thursday, February 28: Natalie Zemon Davis, the Henry Charles Lea Professor of History Emeritus at Princeton University and an adjunct professor and senior fellow at the University of Toronto, Canada
- Tuesday, February 26: Edward Sullivan, dean for humanities and professor of art history at New York University
- Thursday, March 6: Ruth Behar, professor of anthropology at the University of Michigan, and recipient of the MacArthur Foundation “genius” award.
Neale is an expert on language in the law and regulations? I’d never heard that before. He’s an expert on definite descriptions, certainly, but this must be something new for him.
