Welcome or welcome back, as the case may be, to the Philosophy degree for 2015-2016. There have been a few changes.

First, welcome to all the new first years and if stages 2 and 3 see them looking a little lost in the common room, offer to help. We also welcome two new members of staff, Dr Lisa Foran and Dr Adam Potts, who are joining us and will add some new subjects and thinkers to our curriculum.

Also, we find ourselves in a new building with a lovely new common room. You finally have somewhere to make coffee, which seems to have been the most persistent grumble of late. If you are lost for something to do, PhilSoc are recruiting members at the freshers’ fair and have organised a pub crawl for next week.

Contributions can be sent to me (David) or just comment below (you may need to log in — bottom right!) and to start us off a competition:
