Philosophy at Essex

Philosophy at Essex Part of the School of Philosophical, Historical, and Interdisciplinary Studies (PHAIS). Philosophy is home to Inquiry and to the Essex Autonomy Project.

Philosophy at Essex isn't boxed in by the usual reading lists or disciplinary boundaries. We're not afraid to read the books or think the thoughts that others dismiss. Essex Philosophy is internationally recognised for its unique combination of Anglo-American and European continental philosophy. We are committed to fostering a variety of philosophical approaches, and to developing links between ph

ilosophy and other disciplines. In the last Research Assessment Exercise we came first for Continental Philosophy, as well as being placed in the top ten philosophy research departments in the UK, top 10 in the Guardian's ranking of philosophy departments in the UK in both 2010 and 2011 and received 100% in the National Student Satisfaction Survey for overall student satisfaction. We are in the top 10 in the Complete University Guide league tables for 2012, with amongst the highest scores for student satisfaction and graduate prospects.

Forgiveness: Owed But Not Demanded?

The Postgraduate Research Education Team are looking forward to hosting the new ResShare Event for University of Essex postgraduate researchers on 28 February (14:00 – 16:30), 5.300A + 5.300B at Wivenhoe Park.

The idea is to chat 1.1 with other postgraduate researchers about your research projects for 8 minutes, before rotating around the room to share with others. An opportunity to meet other PGRs with shared experiences without the pressure of a big presentation or making lots of smalltalk first!

After this, enjoy a presentation by an Essex Research Impact Officer and enjoy the tea, coffee and juice provided.
