NEWSLETTER OF TALBOT’S MA PHILOSOPHY PROGRAM FALL 2008
Faculty Nights
DR. TIMOTHY PICKAVANCE
DELIVERS PAPER AT TPS
On October 21 st , Professor Tim
Pickavance presented his paper
on "Properties of Identity and
Trivial Indiscernibility” to the
Talbot Philosophical Society.
Discussion followed allowing
students to interact with and get
to know our new professor even
better. He is a very welcome
addition to our faculty.
TPS will once again be having Faculty Nights in which students and their spouses/friends can join for
fellowship and an encouraging word from a faculty member and his wife. These evenings have been filled
with good food, rich discussion and invaluable wisdom in the fight not only in the marketplace of ideas,
but also (if not especially) in and for our families as we seek to honor Christ with all heart, soul and mind.
The first of the school year was with Tim and Jamie Pickavance as they shared of God's faithful hand
through the struggles of going through a doctoral program as newly weds and their unlikely (but no doubt
divinely appointed!) move out to Talbot where Tim is the newest faculty member for the Philosophy Dept.
Upcoming Philosophy
Conference
The Talbot Philosophical Society is hosting the third
annual Talbot graduate student philosophy conference
in Spring ‘09. We're excited this year to be reaching
out to the broader philosophical community by
encouraging submissions from graduate students at
other schools. Papers in any area of philosophy are
welcome for submission. More details about the dates
of the conference, the submission deadline, and the
identity of the keynote speaker will be forthcoming.
