Moral Naturalism World Tour

Today I arrived in San Francisco. I'm going to be hanging out with Mom and Dad for a view days before starting what I called the "Moral Naturalism Project" in the big grant application that's paying for all my travel. So far I have two papers written -- "The Epistemic Argument for Universal Hedonism" (EA) and "How Double-Humeans Can Make Room for Error" (DH). Here's the places I'm going and the talks I'm giving, as far as I've planned:

May 9 - Fly from Singapore to San Francisco
May 12 - Fly from San Francisco to LA for USC talk on 12th (DH)
May 13 - Fly from LA to Tucson for University of Arizona talk on 13th (EA)
May 14 - Fly from Tuscon to Miami for University of Miami talk on 15th (DH)
May 17 - Fly from Miami to Knoxville for University of Tennessee talk on the 18th (EA)
May 19 - Fly from Knoxville to Austin
June 1 - Fly from Austin to Chicago to see my super-smart sister Supriya Sinhababu. Illinois State talk on the 4th (EA) and Illinois talk on the 5th. (DH)
[Now things get a little hazy. I have some free time between talks and I'll probably go somewhere on the Eastern seaboard for a few days but I don't know where.]
June 9 - Fly to London for King's College London talk on June 10. Chill at Oxford for a while, maybe Edinburgh. Return on June 19 or so.
[More haziness. Hopefully somehow involving girls.]
June 20something - Fly to Grand Rapids for Calvin College talk and subsequent Michigan talk.
Early July - Visit DC
Rest of July - Hang out with family in SF, or wherever they might be at the time.
Late July / Early August - Fly to Seattle for Puget Sound talk
August 5 - Fly from San Francisco back to Singapore

I'm going to miss you in Austin, but let me know if you do make it to Edinburgh.

Looks like an awesome tour! I wish you were stopping off at UC Santa Barbara too! USC's not too far from here, but it would be hard to make a 4pm talk with all the traffic and whatnot. Will someone be recording and posting a video of any of these talks? That would be nice.

Neil Sinhababu said...

I don't think any videos or such are being posted, but when I get the papers into reasonable shape I'll post them. Of course, that won't contain the excitement of Q&A, which is the best part.

I'd love to come by UCSB sometime! I'm going to be doing this kind of thing next summer as well, I think, so maybe we can set something up.

Neil,

Have fun on the tour! I might be in Austin hunting for apartments so if you end up giving a talk, let me know,

Sounds good. Any time you'd like to come to UCSB, let me know so we can set something up!

Where and when is your Seattle-area talk going to be?

I'll try and make it or if not, buy you a beer while you're in town.

Neil Sinhababu said...

The Seattle talk will be at the University of Puget Sound. I'll be staying in the area for a few days, my hosts at UPS live in Tacoma and co-blogger Nick lives in Seattle.

That should definitely allow for some hanging out.
