Nova PhDs Belgium in May

If any of you are going to be in Belgium in early May, you might give me a shout as I am going to be in Leuven giving a lecture at the Institute of Philosophy at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. The lecture, on May 10, will be on Max Horkheimer's moral theory. The next day I will give a doctoral seminar on architecture and democracy that will contain some of the same material as the paper I gave at SPEP on the panel with Ammon and Ted. Both are hosted by the Institute's Center for Ethics, Social and Political Philosophy.

This will be my first time in Leuven, or Belgium for that matter. I will probably have a couple days to myself. Any of you have any advice on what one should do and see there?

You'll enjoy Leuven, Joe. It's a charming little city--very walkable, and somewhat reminiscent of Cambridge (though not quite _that_ charming). I found it a bit disconcerting to be in the Flemish region. Assuming you don't speak Dutch (like me), I would advise that it's better to first speak English apologetically than to speak French (the Flemish/Waloon tensions were an eye-opener).

Stay away from the Stella Artois (it's the Budweiser of Belgium); I'd recommend a Duvel.

Congratulations, Joe! Sounds like a great honor and wonderful trip. I hope you will be able to take your fiance.
