The Departmental Graduate Seminar is a student-organised seminar providing an opportunity for Warwick philosophy graduate students (and occasionally students from other universities) to present and discuss their work amongst a general philosophy audience. It’s also a great chance to meet and socialise with fellow graduate students, and to exchange feedback about each other’s research.

The seminar takes place fortnightly on Wednesdays between 4:00 and 5:30pm in room S0.17 in the Social Studies building and are normally followed by a short (i.e. 5–10 minute) response from another graduate student, questions and discussion chaired by a member of staff, and drinks at The Dirty Duck from around 6:00pm. All PhD, MPhil and MA students are strongly encouraged to attend, and faculty members and visiting students are always welcome.

Notes for Presenters

Talks should be suitable for presentation in 30 to 45 minutes and may be circulated in advance (in which case the paper should be forwarded to the seminar organiser or chair no later than 9am on the preceding Monday). Alternatively, speakers may wish to chair a discussion on a philosophical topic or reading of interest, or some other format suitable for group presentation.
