PITT TO HOST TAMARA HOROWITZ MEMORIAL LECTURE
PITTSBURGH, April 11 -- The University of Pittsburgh Department of Philosophy will hold the first Tamara Horowitz Memorial Lecture on Monday, April 24, at 3:30 p.m., in the William Pitt Union Ballroom. Horowitz, who died in January, was the first woman to chair Pitt's world-class philosophy department.
Alexander Nehamas, Edmund N. Carpenter II Class of 1943 Professor in the Humanities, will be the guest lecturer. He is a professor of philosophy and comparative literature at Princeton University. A reception in the Kurtzman Room will follow his talk.
Horowitz first came to Pitt as an Andrew Mellon postdoctoral fellow in 1977-78. In 1985, she returned as a visiting assistant professor of philosophy and joined the faculty as assistant professor the following year. She was named associate professor, associate director of Pitt's Center for Philosophy of Science, and associate professor of women's studies in 1993, and philosophy chair last September.
