The keynote address will be given by Sophia Connell (University of Notre Dame), "Aristotle on how and why the eyes of different animals differ.” This year’s speakers include: Chelsea Bowden (Denison University), Daniel Kranzelbinder (University of Chicago), Sadie McCloud (University of Indiana), Joshua Trubowitz (University of Notre Dame), and Christen Zimecki (Wayne State University), with comments by Arnold Brooks (University of Chicago), Gonzalo Jordan (University of Notre Dame), Gabriel Lear (University of Chicago), Katherine Meadows (Indiana University), Joshua Mendelsohn (Loyola University Chicago), John Proios (University of Chicago), and Justin Vlasits (University of Illinois Chicago).
