Annual Logic Lecture
The Logic Group funds an annual Spring event in which a visiting logician gives a talk (open to the public) and, in general, engages in various working sessions with the group. Material for the talk is distributed early in the Spring semester (with the actual talk happening late in the semester), giving the group sufficient time to work on the target issues.
2008/2009 Annual Speaker: Greg Restall, University of Melbourne.
Normative Inferentialist Modal Logic: from pragmatics
to two-dimensional semantics.
