The Student-Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC) at the Law School is organising a five-day ‘PhD Writing Bootcamp’ from 1st May to 5th May 2023. The idea is to do some writing using the Pomodoro technique (40-minute writing sprints with 5-minute breaks in between each).

The Bootcamp will run in two sessions from 9 am to 4 pm each day (morning 9 am -12 pm; afternoon 1-4 pm). You have the option to attend the event in person as well as online. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.

The Warwick Law School, University of Warwick, is pleased to host the 2023 British Association of Comparative Law annual postgraduate workshop. The workshop is open to PhD candidates at any stage of their research, from any part of the world, who work on any aspect of Comparative Law. The event will be held over two half-days: the afternoon of Tuesday 2 May, and the morning of Wednesday 3 May. The workshop will provide participants with the opportunity to present work in progress, receive feedback on their work from leading comparative scholars, engage in networking activities, and learn more about the pathway from PhD to publication from Intersentia Publishing.

Further details of the workshop and how to apply are attachedLink opens in a new window. Please note that the deadline for submissions is Wednesday 1 March 2023.

The speakers will provide an insight into their day-to-day work, the hot commercial awareness topics impacting their clients and look ahead to what the future holds for business.

Thinking Spaces – A Roundtable Discussion

with Matthew Bliss (History of Arts), Tobias Keiling (Philosophy), Hana Samaržija (Philosophy), and Naomi Waltham-Smith (CIM)

(Third instalment of the event series Philosophy Goes Architecture)

Tuesday, 2 May, 5:30pm–7pm (followed by drinks reception)

Venue: S0.11 (ground floor Social Sciences)

 Doing philosophy is an embodied activity: it is always someone who thinks, and so thoughts are had, expanded, and written down somewhere, often in human-made surroundings that reflect societal values, ideological currents, and particular interests. How do these spaces interact with the individuals that populate them? How does spatial design interfere with intellectual labour? How does the history of buildings leave a trace on the products of the mind?

The invited speakers are asked to respond to these and similar questions, drawing on their own research and preferred approaches. They are particularly encouraged to relate their answers to our shared experience as people who work and think in the English Midlands, in Coventry, on Warwick Campus, at their respective departments.

All Warwick Philosophy students and staff (permanent, sessional, administrative) are invited to attend and join the discussion!
