Caffè Italiano is an intercultural language exchange event that takes place weekly on the Boston campus. Italian teaching faculty and students gather to practice speaking Italian using games and other fun activities to develop conversation skills and to learn about Italian culture. The idea is to practice with both native and non-native speakers of the language, to socialize and learn about our multicultural students.

This event's speaker is Justin Bruner, Assistant Professor of Political Economy and Moral Science, University of Arizona. Professor Bruner focuses on social and political philosophy as well as the philosophy of science.

In the Ethics Institute Speaker Series, hosted by the Philosophy and Religion department, visiting scholars share their research with faculty and students alike. Intended to help build a stronger community of scholars, this series demystifies the research process by sharing works in progress.
