Postgraduate "Work In Progress" Seminar

Postgraduate Work-In-Progress Seminar

A weekly seminar for Philosophy postgraduates to present their in-progress work, followed by a well-spirited trip to the pub.


Overview

The WIP provides a risk-free and supportive space for postgraduates to present their work and receive feedback from other graduates and faculty.

  • When: Every Thursday (5pm to 6:15pm)
  • Where: Room S1.50 (Social Sciences Building, First Floor)
  • What: Presentation + Q&A

Attendance optional but highly recommended. All postgraduates are welcome to present or attend -- whether MA, MPhil, PhD, Visitors, etc.


Useful Info

The WIP is a unique opportunity for graduates to develop their presenting and writing skills, take risks, test out ideas, and receive constructive feedback from peers.

  • Presentation: 30 minutes
  • Open Discussion / Q&A: 30 minutes
  • Material: Work in progress (essay drafts, thesis sections, a substantial set of notes, ... ).
  • Style: Flexible. Slides, handouts, or neither.
  • Audience: No prior reading or background knowledge expected. All are encouraged to attend and present (including visiting postgraduates).

Presentations need not be watertight or polished pieces at all. You are encouraged to present work at all stages of the writing process.


Should you present?

Are you a postgraduate? Then yes, you should present.

Reading Group: Democracy Despite Itself: Liberal Constitutionalism and Militant Democracy

In the Autumn Term we are reading Democracy Despite Itself: Liberal Constitutionalism and Militant Democracy. As before, we meet at 10am on Wednesdays in Lorenzo’s office.

If you haven’t come along before the book group is very informal and super fun. It is mostly staff, with (usually) a couple of PhD students. Staff come from across the department and we have members from every research centre, so it really is a broad church. Expertise in the subject is absolutely not a prerequisite for coming. It’s a way to do philosophy together and get to know each other better. All welcome!
