Royal Institute of Philosophy Lectures
We hold regular Royal Institute of Philosophy events in which leading philosophers are invited to Keele to talk about their research and answer questions from the audience. This is perhaps the most popular invited lecture series in the university and anyone interested in philosophy is welcome to attend.
2024-25 Lectures
All lectures will be on campus at Keele. Please email Jonathan Head.
