UCD TCD Work in Progress Seminars
The WiP is the best occasion to present one's work in progress to receive feedback from colleagues in an informal but still academic environment. The WiP seminars have connected philosophy students from UCD and TCD for many years; they are a forum to present any philosophical work a PhD or an MA student has in progress and might have doubts about. It is a good way to see if what one is working on is received well by other students with different philosophical and cultural backgrounds. These seminars are thought to be an opportunity to make a step toward a more developed piece of work.
Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) | Weekly Chat
The Coffee and Tea (CAT) Afternoons are an opportunity for philosophy students from all levels (postgrads or undergrads) as well as staff, to socially meet and chat over coffee and tea, think about event ideas, share issues or concerns, or just meet and interact with new people (as well as old ones), in a safe space and with a friendly community. This semester, the CAT Afternoons are held every Friday at 1PM at the Agnes Cumming Seminar Room at the School of Philosophy. All philosophy enthusiasts are welcome.
Philosophy & Literature Symposium | 8 October 2021 | Join PhD students from UCD School of Philosophy and the University of Augsburg for a symposium exploring ethical themes and intersections between philosophy and literature
Followed by a Keynote event "Notes from a Biscuit Tin" with an original poem read by Nerys Williams (UCD).Notes from a Biscuit tin is a year-long celebration of Mary Midgley's philosophy vision. On what would have been Mary's 100th birthday, her biscuit tin began a 12-month round-the-world voyage. From this tin, Mary dispensed philosophical conversation wit, and ginger snaps to her visitors over many decades. At twelve stops around the world, a poet and philosophers meet to share a conversation on a theme from Midgley's work. The conversation will begin with the poet reading a commissioned poem on the theme, followed by responses from UCD Philosophy graduates and Faculty.
