Testimonials
“My visit to Rotman was fantastic. The faculty and graduate students there are amazing, and I was able to have many engaging and energizing conversations. (…) I came back to Kansas with a renewed feeling of the place and purpose of my own research within the larger philosophy of science community.”
“It’s been three years now since I left Rotman, and I can honestly say that every bit of work I do is informed and improved by the time I spent there. The Institute has managed to sustain the mix of rigor, breadth, and warm collegial spirit that makes the best research possible. I could not recommend it more highly to any researcher.”
“I felt a twinge of regret in having to depart, because I would enjoy having many of the faculty in the Rotman Institute as my full time colleagues. My hosts made me feel very much at home, intellectually, which was a very welcome and heart-warming experience.”
