Graduate Conference 2018
This month the Philosophy department at the University of Liverpool will be holding its annual graduate conference. The graduate conference is an opportunity for junior researchers within the philosophy department to share their current work with one another and their more senior colleagues.
The conference has been run by Gregory Miller and Dr. Thom Atkinson for the past 3 years, and during this time we have had a wide range of presentation topics. This reflects the Philosophy department’s wide range of interests and areas of expertise: from Simon Blackburn to Jean Baudrillard, from Martin Luther to Iris Murdoch.
The event will be held on Tuesday the 15th of May in the School of the Arts library. The event is open to all students within the university and the general public. Attendance is free, and tea, coffee, and lunch are provided.
A schedule of the talks can be found below.
