Canisius College maintains five years of course content in D2L. During the 2020 spring break, March 16-20, ITS will perform a routine purge of course content from spring, summer and fall 2014 courses. This will delete all content uploaded or created by professors and students in 2014 courses as well as the course spaces and semester headings for 2014.
Since there is no possibility of recovery, please be certain you have exported and saved any of your 2014 course content that you wish to save by Friday, March 13 at 5:00 p.m. COLI has a tutorial video showing how you can export a backup package from your courses, including anything you created or uploaded but not student work.
Dr. Paul Taylor, the W. Alton Jones professor of philosophy at Vanderbilt University, will present “From Ferguson to Trump: Innocence, Events and Ethical Life” on Thursday, March 12 at 4:00 p.m. in OM 223.
Dr. Taylor will argue that the Ferguson moment remains important as a touchstone for contemporary ethical life, even in the age of Trump. He will discuss what it means to engage responsibly with that moment and examine the forces that enabled the rise of Trumpism. Among these forces are novel deployments of racial innocence and political temporality, both of which demand the sort of broadly philosophical reflection that this presentation will attempt.
This event sponsored by the Department of Philosophy & The Rev. Vincent J. Cooke, S.J., Endowed Fund. The presentation is free and open to faculty and students. For more information please contact Dr. Philip Reed at reedp@canisius.edu.
