Topic: “Knowledge, Nous, and Noetics in Aristotle and the Aristotelian Traditions”
This In-Person Conference is intended to provide a formal occasion and central location for philosophers and scholars of the Midwest region (and anywhere elsewhere) to present and discuss their current work on Aristotle and his interpreters in ancient and medieval philosophy.
Please note: Plans are for an in-person conference. We will switch to a hybrid or fully online format only in the event of a significant surge in local Milwaukee area COVID infection rates. If a presenter selected for the conference program is later barred from travel due to COVID infection rates in the home country or region, we will arrange for an online presentation.

Rooms reserved under room blocks are not guaranteed to be in the same area of the residence hall. We will attempt to keep groups together, but at times circumstances prohibit this from happening.

There is a $75 key replacement fee that is billed to the guest for any key that is lost or not returned at checkout. Rooms are re-keyed immediately for security reasons; therefore, we cannot issue refunds for guests who send in or return keys after checkout time.
