The panelists will include Julie Van Camp (Emerita, California State University, Long Beach), Richard Shusterman (Florida Atlantic University), Espen Hammer (Temple University), and Aili Bresnahan (University of Dayton). John Carvalho (Villanova University) will serve as Chair. Joe’s many contributions to Philosophy in the Philadelphia area make a commemoration at the Eastern Division meeting especially appropriate.

LODGING

Thank you to those of you joining us in staying at the Doubletree Hotel. (We get free meeting rooms in exchange for guaranteeing a certain number of lodging rooms.) The booking date has passed for this meeting. To find a room, please try sites like Expedia to see options for nearby hotels.

The lovely B&B where the Division met several years ago burned to the ground in 2018. The Division has been happy with its meeting site at the Courtyard Marriott for 2018-2020. Unfortunately, the hotel is now "rebranding" and the division can no longer afford to meet there. We think you'll like the convenient location of the DoubleTree across the street from the Academy of Music and in the center of town.

GROUND TRAVEL RECOMMENDATIONS:

From the Philadelphia Airport: take the Regional Rail service to Suburban Station/City Hall ($6.75 each way; credit cards at fare machines at station). Walk south on Broad Street. Cab fare from Suburban Station to hotel: about $8. http://www.septa.org/welcome/airport.html
