September 9th: Teaching; meeting on research project

This Monday I taught for 4 hours, in the bachelor course Examen Philosophicum. The course is designed for nursing students, but some 20 students in biological chemistry have joined the course this autumn. This week's teaching involved 4 x 45 minutes of lectures, with phenomenology and hermeneutics as topics.

Straight after class I met with my head of department and office manager to discuss the Estonian-Norwegian research project "Animals in changing environments: Cultural mediation and semiotic analysis".
