Stand up Philosophy- Alex Farrow, October 3rd 2019

26/09/2019Philosophy NewsMichael Lewis

From: Comedian, Alex Farrow:

Dear Newcastle Philosophy Dept

I’m doing a stand-up show in Newcastle all about Philosophy Oct 3rd!

A stand-up comedy show about education, religion and modern Britain told through the stories of teaching philosophy to teenagers. ‘Honest and interesting and really, very, very funny indeed’ ‘Jaw-achingly funny’ ★★★★★ (Oxford Times).

If you like the sound of that then I’d love some experts and/or keen students to enjoy it too. (Let me know and I’ll organise some complimentary tickets)

Best wishes,

Alex

The Australasian Postgraduate Philosophy Conference (APPC) is an annual conference that provides an opportunity for postgraduate philosophy students from Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore to present their work, debate their ideas, receive feedback from peers and form collaborations across institutions.

In 2019 APPC will be hosted by Victoria University of Wellington from Friday the 6th of December to Sunday the 8th of December. The conference environment is laid-back and an excellent introduction to conferences for new graduate students.

The call for papers is now open; and will close on 31 October 2019. Please let your students know about this conference and encourage them to come and present their work.
