Join us for a conversation with Professor Harry Brighouse, a leading scholar in philosophy of education and social justice. His work explores questions about fairness, opportunity, and what young people need to flourish—ideas that shape debates in education policy around the world. In addition to his research, Professor Brighouse is known for his engaging teaching style and his ability to make big philosophical questions feel personal, relevant, and energizing.
Professor Brighouse has also been a longtime friend of the L&S Honors Program. Over the years, he has taught numerous Honors courses and First-Year Interest Groups, mentored undergraduates in research, and supervised many Senior Honors Theses. Students consistently describe him as thoughtful, generous with his time, and deeply invested in their growth. Please join us for a great chance to hear from a scholar who cares deeply about undergraduate learning and has shaped the Honors community in meaningful ways.
