Philosophy Seminars at RSSS

Upcoming papers in the Philosophy Program's regular Thursday Seminar Series are listed below. Seminars are at 4.00 pm in seminar room E in Coombs. The seminar is followed by a dinner. Thursday Seminars are usually, but not always, held on Thursdays. See our archives for papers read in the distant past. The current convenor is David Chalmers.

Other Philosophy Seminars at ANU

  • The Philosophy Department in the Faculty of Arts has its own seminar series, which takes place on Fridays.
