He also provides leadership in the use of technologies for instruction and research, and supports UVM's College of Engineering & Mathematical Sciences.

Gary S. Atwood is the Health Sciences Education Librarian at the University of Vermont.

Afternoon speaker:

Randall Harp is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Vermont.  His research focuses on the philosophy of action, on the philosophy of the behavioral and social sciences, on social metaphysics, and on data ethics.  His big picture questions: what sorts of things do we do? How do we theorize about what we do? What theories do we use to understand what other people do?  What is the difference between doing something cooperatively, and doing some things individually? And—are the things that we do to answer those questions morally ok?
