- Sep 272:00 PMEvery Body WelcomeEvery Body Welcome The Every Body Welcome group is a semi structured therapy group dedicated to improving the relationships students have with food, eating, and exercise. It will focus on practicing body neutrality, developing self-compassion, and coping skills relating to eating and body image concerns. This session is held by Amy Parent, MSW (https://studenthealth.uconn.edu/person/amy-parent/) For many concerns that students face – like overwhelming stress, anxiety, difficult relationships, depression, academic difficulties, and more – group therapy is the best option for support and healing. Facilitated by Student Health and Wellness (SHaW) counselors, our therapy groups encourage peer support, promote emotional wellbeing, and increase a felt sense of connection. Participants often find that they feel less alone in their struggles, and walk away with newfound support and ideas for coping.

- Sep 272:00 PMLogic Colloquium: Yale Weiss (CUNY)Join us for a talk in the Logic Colloquium by Yale Weiss (CUNY Graduate Center): "A relevant framework for barriers to entailment" In her recent book, Russell (2023) examines various so-called "barriers to entailment", including Hume's law, roughly the thesis that an 'ought' cannot be derived from an 'is'. Hume's law bears an obvious resemblance to the proscription on fallacies of modality in relevance logic, which has traditionally formally been captured by the so-called Ackermann property. In the context of relevant modal logic, this property might be articulated thus: no conditional whose antecedent is box-free and whose consequent is box-prefixed is valid (for the connection, interpret box deontically). While the deontic significance of Ackermann-like properties has been observed before, Russell's new book suggests a more broad-scoped formal investigation of the relationship between barrier theses of various kinds and corresponding Ackermann-like properties. In this talk, I undertake such an investigation by elaborating a general relevant bimodal logical framework in which several of the barriers Russell examines can be given formal expression. I then consider various Ackermann-like properties corresponding to these barriers and prove that certain systems satisfy them. Finally, I respond to some objections Russell makes against the use of relevance logic to formulate Hume's law and related barriers.https://logic.uconn.edu/calendar/ (https://logic.uconn.edu/calendar/) All welcome!
