An update on the philosophy events for this term:

The next event is 3 sided football on the 6th, next Monday.

This isn’t competitive football, just a chance to have some fun in the park. Before I go and buy cones etc with departmental money, I want to check that we will have three teams, so I have made a sign up list online at

So long as more than 20 people sign up by 12:00 on Friday, we shall go ahead with it. If not, I’ll let anyone who does sign up know on Friday afternoon. I appreciate this is in reading week, and I don’t want people cancelling plans for an event that can’t go ahead.

Due to organisational issues, the careers session scheduled for the 20th has to be postponed. Hopefully we can run it next semester. It has been replaced by a workshop about speaking at and submitting essays to undergraduate conferences.

The AV club on the 13th is about celebrity meltdowns and the existential issues they reveal. It will be lead by Zoe, one of our MLitt students.
