The Department of Philosophy is committed to making philosophical ideas accessible and engaging for everyone. Our outreach efforts include two main avenues:

Public Lectures

Our public lectures feature the successful annual ‘Philosophy Today’ public lecture series, and occasional one-off events. These lectures explore a variety of topics and show how philosophical thinking is relevant to current issues and debates.

For further details on all upcoming public lectures visit our News & Events page.

School Engagement

We also engage with secondary schools, introducing students from 4th year and above to the world of philosophy.  Our topics range from political and moral philosophy to questions about reality, science, religion and more.

If you are interested in organising a talk or workshop, please email us and we can discuss how we can tailor a presentation to your students' interests.
