We are delighted to announce an upcoming series of talks (online) entitled ‘Philosophy: Its Practice and Practitioners’ scheduled for this Michaelmas Term, jointly organized by Philiminality Oxford and the Oxford Philosophy Faculty’s Equality and Diversity Representative, Sebastian Sanchez-Schilling. The aim of the  talk series is to explore the link between the practice, methods and objects of professional philosophy and the identity and socio-political situation of its practitioners. Why is it fairly common for philosophers to downplay attention to social situations? Should this surprise us? Is it true that what is meant by philosophy, and how it is approached, is dependent on who gets to do philosophy, and where? Can philosophy be inclusive? What kind of change in its practice, methods and institutions would be required?

Confirmed speakers:

- Prof. Sharon Stein (University of British Columbia)  - Tuesday, 16 November 2021 [week 6], 7pm GMT

- Ellie Robson (CHASE PhD Researcher, Birkbeck, University of London) - Thursday, 25 November 2021 [week 7], 5pm GMT

Registration is required to receive Zoom details.
