Hey everyone, i case you missed our posts in the general Osgoode groups, we invite you to our first guest lecture in our speaker series this Wednesday, September 26, in room 2001 from 12:30-2:30 p.m. Our speaker is Professor Christopher Tindale from the University of Windsor, whose research focuses on argumentation theory and moral issues.

Professor Tindale will be joining us to speak about work from his current project which explores the different ways that argumentation is structured in different places, such as cultures and communities. He will also discuss the use of oral narratives as evidence (recently pertinent in legal discussions on Indigenous knowledge) and narrative arguments.

Food will be served! We hope to see you there.
