Our research

The Department convenes the Department of Philosophy Research Seminars series, which offers a friendly environment for academics, visitors and postgraduate and doctoral researchers to present their work. 

Every November, the Department organises its annual Engaging the Contemporary international conference. 

Due to the current situation, the conference will not be held this year, but preparations are underway for the conference to be held in 2022.
