The department generally has several reading groups active during the academic year with both faculty and graduate student attendees. Current groups include:
Ancient Philosophy Reading Group
This is an interdisciplinary reading group for students in History, Classics, Politics and Philosophy.
The Greek reading group is starting on Fridays at 2:15 pm from Week 1, location TBD.
We will be reading parts of Plato’s Gorgias. We’re starting with the concluding remarks of Socrates, which summarizes his view throughout the dialogue, and then proceed to the myth about the judgment of the souls. (This is 519d-527).
All are welcome. Some knowledge of Ancient Greek is required. But we move slowly!
For questions, reach out to Salvador Escalante salvad@ucsb.edu
Feminist Philosophy Reading Group
The feminist philosophy reading group will have its first meeting on Friday October 3rd, 1-2pm. (location TBA). We will meet every two weeks at that time, and this quarter we will be reading Erin Beeghly's new book, What's Wrong with Stereotyping?, which is available through the library online. Erin Beeghly will join us on zoom towards the end of the quarter to talk about it.
