Join us December 5 for a casual lunch and learn opportunity with Dr. Jim Hankinson, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin and leading scholar of ancient philosophy.
The evening prior, Dr. Hankinson will be presenting his lecture "Medicine Ancient and Modern" at 7pm in the Webb Theatre. Attendance at the December 4th lecture is encouraged to make the most out of this Friday lunch and learn opportunity; registration is open for both events in mySNC events.
The luncheon will be catered by Margarita's Mexican Food & Cantina of Green Bay.
Both events are made possible through the Killeen Chair Endowment.
Description of December 4th's "Medicine Ancient and Modern" lecture:
Modern medicine really is very…modern. Most current practices and their theoretical underpinnings would have been largely unrecognizable two centuries ago, when doctors still practiced in the shadows cast by their Greco-Roman predecessors. But for all that, there are some surprising continuities between modern and ancient medicine. In this lecture, eminent philosopher and historian of science Dr. R.J. Hankinson will sketch both the continuities and (often entertaining) discontinuities.
