Our Philosophy Department

The philosophy department at Mount Holyoke combines the focus on teaching typical of a small college, with a faculty actively engaged in philosophical research. Our faculty have published on such diverse topics as the concept of privacy, modal logics, film romance, scientific confirmation, and emotions in fictional appreciation. We also benefit from the wider resources available through the other members of the 5 College Consortium: Amherst, University of Massachusetts, Hampshire, and Smith.

Professor Sean Sayers, from the University of Kent, will be visiting Mount Holyoke College during the Fall semester.
