Winter 2006 Semester: Explore Evolution Theme SemesterLSA Dean Terry McDonald has declared Winter Term 2006 Explore Evolution Theme Semester. Many Departments will make major contributions to this Theme Semester, coordinated by Amy Harris, Director of the Exhibit Museum where a special new exhibit on evolution will be opened in a renovated wing. The Explore Evolution Theme Semester Public Lecture Series, most of which are Wednesday evenings, will include talks by Svante Paabo, Eugenie Scott, Richard Wrangham, David Pilbeam, Richard Dawkins, W. Ford Doolittle, Linda Partridge, Peter and Rosemary Grant, and Richard Lewontin. EHAP and Culture and Cognition will sponsor a special Evolution and Culture Colloquium Series, organized by Scott Atran and Richard Nisbett. Most lectures are Friday mornings at 10:30 in room 4448 East Hall. There are two exceptions: January 20 (Frans DeWaal), and February 3 (Dan Dennett), when the lectures will be held in the Rackham Ampitheatre. A seminar on Evolution and Culture (Psychology 808-010) will be taught in conjunction with the series. The seminar meets from 9:00-10:30 on Fridays in room 3048 East Hall.
