Philosophy of Mind Work-in-Progress Seminar
In Hilary Term 2022, we plan to meet in person in the Lecture Room, with the possibility of joining remotely.
The Philosophy of Mind Work-in-Progress Group provides a forum for Faculty members, graduate students, and visiting scholars to discuss their current works-in-progress in philosophy of mind.
Seminars in HT22 are on Fridays 13.30 - 15.00 in weeks 1, 4 and 6. All are welcome.
The format is usually read-ahead, with the paper usually circulated on the Monday before the Friday seminar. Those intending to attend a particular session should email Nicholas Shea in advance to be put on the circulation list for that week’s paper and meeting link.
