The Annual Anscombe Lecture in Ethics commemorates Elizabeth Anscombe (1919-2001), former Penn Professor of Philosophy and one of the most influential woman philosophers and Catholic intellectuals of the modern era.

The Collegium Institute welcomed Dr. Peter Wicks, a Catherine of Siena Fellow in the Ethics Program of Villanova University, as the speaker for its Second Annual Elizabeth Anscombe Lecture in Ethics. Peter Wicks was born in London and educated at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. He received his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Notre Dame in 2010. His doctoral dissertation interrogated the role of language in the formation of moral judgment. He is currently working on a book on Princeton Philosopher Peter Singer and the appeal of utilitarian ethics. You can watch the video of this lecture below.
