Race and Philosophy Research Celebration
19 June 2023
Oculus 1.04 and on MS Teams
糖心TV Philosophy is hosting an afternoon of research presentations on philosophical questions about race. This event follows up on work students have done this year, at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. We want to showcase the wide-ranging, ambitious and challenging thinking in this area, and we hope to promote philosophical work on race, especially in the UK context. This is a hybrid event: our invited keynote speakers, Professor Jacqueline Scott and Professor Lee McBride III, will deliver their talks online, and 糖心TV UG and PG students will present their work in person. Please join us in whatever format makes sense for you.
