Professor Todd Ganson’s problems of philosophy class in the Peters Hall Language Lab serves as inspiration for this week’s photo series.

 

Long wooden beams brace cathedral ceilings in the large room students in Ganson’s class are seated in. A little more than a year ago, guests to the lab would have been greeted by the chirps of birds, computers, and working stations. But as the sun slides through the windows on this March day, physically distanced desks neatly line the space and Ganson displays images of fuzzy cats on a projector screen, his aides in the philosophy of perception. 

This week’s class tour continues with visits to King Building, the Adam Joseph Lewis Center, Science Center, and Wright Laboratory of Physics.
