Practical Philosophy Seminar
The seminar takes place on Tuesdays from 12:15 to 13:00 on Zoom, due to the Corona pandemic. The seminar is an arena where the members of the Practical Philosophy Group can get feedback on work-in-progress, give a talk or discuss topics of common interest.
Presenters are expected to submit a title and a short abstract at least a week in advance. Those who want to send out a paper for read ahead must distribute it to the list the Wednesday before the presentation/discussion on the following Tuesday, but they should not assume that everyone in the audience has read it beforehand.
Sign up: The slots are open for the Practical Philosophy Seminar for spring 2021. If you want to sign up (and we encourage you to do so!) please send an email to Maria Seim (maria.seim@ifikk.uio.no).
Zoom: The links to the zoom meetings will be sent to all those in the mailing list. If you wish to get the information weekly, please send an email to Maria Seim (maria.seim@ifikk.uio.no).
