Michele Moody-Adams to Deliver the 2023 American Philosophical Association Lecture

The American Philosophical Association (APA), along with Morehouse College's philosophy department, is pleased to announce the 8th annual APA Lecture, “Revitalizing Democracy,” to be presented by Michele Moody-Adams (Columbia University). The APA Lecture will be held on the Morehouse College campus in Atlanta, GA, on Friday, November 17, 2023, at 2:30 p.m in the African-American Hall of Fame on the second floor of the MLK Chapel. The lecture is free and open to the public, with a reception to follow.

The American Philosophical Association is the leading philosophical learned society in North America, having been founded in 1900 and representing nearly 10,000 members. This November, the APA board of officers will hold its annual in-person meeting in Atlanta, bringing more than 25 prominent philosophers to the Howard campus. In coordination with that meeting, Professor Moody-Adams will present the APA Lecture to benefit the Morehouse community.

It promises to be a thought-provoking talk and we hope you will attend.
