Join Carleton University Art Gallery (CUAG) for our DOUBLE MAJOR lecture series, where we’ll hear from two passionate experts, each speaking for 20 minutes about their subject, after which there will be a Q&A addressing both topics. One speaker is from the Ottawa-Gatineau community, and one is from the Carleton community. DOUBLE MAJOR is a fun and friendly way to stimulate discussion of seemingly disparate topics, and to make new connections between people and ideas. Props encouraged!
DOUBLE MAJOR is brought to you by CUAG and by the Carleton University Alumni Association.
Dominic Coballe: After a brief dalliance with physical therapy studies, Dominic is now in a committed 14-year relationship with design, the maker movement and entrepreneurship. He is the co-founder of the Ottawa-based design company N-product and a practitioner of the Slow Goods movement, where objects take time to craft and are made of quality materials. He was born in Vietnam, lived in India, and is now firmly rooted in Ottawa, with his partner and their two boys.
Gordon Davis studied philosophy at McGill, University of Toronto and the University of Oxford, where he finished his doctorate in 2005. His work addresses the history of ethical theory in both Western and Eastern traditions, as well as various issues in contemporary ethics and political philosophy, and tackles metaethical questions such as the viability of moral relativism and related analyses of moral discourse. He is the Chair of the Department of Philosophy at Carleton University.
