German Philosophy Reading Group: Tobias and Andrew H are starting a reading group on understudied texts in the Post-Kantian tradition. The group will be a forum for staff and advanced students to discuss short texts that we feel are interesting but, for whatever reason, not well known. The aim is to look beyond the canon while honing our skills in close reading. The focus will be on German-language philosophy and possibly include texts unavailable in translation or that involve issues regarding translation, hence proficiency in German is helpful (but not a requirement).

We meet Tuesdays 12-1 (room TBD) in weeks where there is no Post-Kantian Seminar, with the possibility of going for lunch afterward. Tobias will be kicking things off Tuesday in week 1, January 9th, 12-1, with a short excerpt from one of Heidegger’s philosophical dialogues. Contact him for the reading and with any questions. Suggestions for future readings are welcome. The group is open to advanced UG and PG students as well as all staff.

Join the Library Team Tuesdays, 3pm-4pm in the PG Hub (Junction building, floor 2) for a break from your studies with free refreshments, to meet other postgrads, and to share tips on postgrad life. PG Tips will run every week throughout the term. This is an event which you can drop in and out of.

PG Tips is an opportunity to ask questions outside of your department and supervisor on all aspects of postgraduate life, whether that's how to apply for a PhD, how to balance your study time and your social life, or simply where does the best coffee or food on campus. Whether your queries are academic or pastoral, our Library Student Partners will share their advice, or direct you to the appropriate service.
