Instituted in 1992, the Collaborative Program in Ancient and Medieval Philosophy is an interdepartmental program of doctoral study at the University of Toronto, jointly administered by the Department of Philosophy, the Centre for Medieval Studies, and the Department of Classics. A student in the Collaborative Program is registered in one of these academic units, but may draw upon the resources of any unit. The University of Toronto has a long tradition of excellence in the study of ancient and medieval philosophy, and the Program trains students to carry on the tradition.
CPAMP is well represented at the First Canadian Colloquium for Ancient Philosophy, University of Alberta, Edmonton, 3-5 May 2012. Rachel Barney, Lloyd Gerson, and Brad Inwood present papers at the meeting, and CPAMP student Willie Costello has a poster presentation. For more information go to the colloquium website.

He will start at Loyola in the Fall 2013 after spending next year as a postdoc at the Université du Québec à Montréal (with Claude Panaccio). Congratulations Peter!
