Here I am talking about William James and Covid-19 in "Pondering the Pandemic," a web series jointly hosted by the McMaster Alumni Association and the Philosophy Department.
You can watch me give a general and untechnical overview of my research in this five-minute interview.
My recent, public lecture on decapitated frogs and the nature of consciousness is here. Thanks to Gresham College in London for hosting the talk, and to the US-UK Fulbright Commission for supporting the research behind the talk.
And here I am giving a more technical talk at École Normale Supérieure, Paris, on the evolution of consciousness according to William James. [The talk is in English, even though the first few sentences are in French.] Thanks to the US-UK Fulbright Commission, CAPHÉS, LABEX Transfers, and Mathias Girel for orchestrating this lecture (along with other talks I gave at ENS, audio for which is here and here).
