The Alfred Tarski Lectures
Following the death of Group founder Alfred Tarski in 1983, an endowment fund was established in his memory. Using income from this fund, a series of annual Alfred Tarski Lectures was inaugurated in 1989. Each spring an outstanding scholar in a field to which Tarski contributed is selected to come to Berkeley to meet with faculty and students and to deliver several lectures. (List of past Tarski lectures.)
The Twentieth Annual Alfred Tarski Lectures

Lectures on the Foundations of the Theory of Algorithms
A sequence of three lectures. The first lecture lays out the problem and outlines a solution. The second and third lectures describe applications of the general theory to the philosophy of language and to complexity theory respectively. They are independent of each other and mostly independent of the first lecture.
