Warwick Law School's Postgraduate SSLC invites you to the LLM Careers Pathway Week! The purpose of this week-long event is to showcase a range of LLM alumni career paths through informal LLM alumni presentations and Q&A and to provide practical tips for LLM students in deciding about their future directions. This is a student-led initiative supported by the SSLC. View the event details.

targetjobs has partnered with leading employers in the UK to host Aspire. An event for Black Heritage students to meet with some of the biggest organisations in the world who have open roles for you to apply to.

This event will give PGR students the opportunity to meet socially and build a community. The first seminar in the series will be dedicated to sharing our experiences with the upgrade and supporting first year PhD students going through the upgrade this academic year. Subsequent seminars will feature a close analysis and discussion of an academic paper, informal conversations about issues that matter to PhD students in the Law School and presentations from PhD candidates who wish to receive feedback on their work. Student Organisers and Points of Contact: Cherisse (cherisse.francis@warwick.ac.uk) and Priscilla (priscilla.vitoh@warwick.ac.uk). Food will be provided.

Wittgenstein Reading Group. We are continuing our reading of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations where we left off (which is at §172) and we welcome anyone to join in – whether you have read Wittgenstein before or not. This term we also plan to look into some secondary literature by Stanley Cavell, John McDowell and Saul Kripke. All interested students and staff are welcome. We meet on Fridays from 1-2.30pm and – for the time being – online on Teams.

Wittgenstein is one of the 20th century's most influential philosophers and the source of many divergent reactions and interpretations. In this reading group, we focus on a close reading of Philosophical Investigations and on discussing Wittgenstein's philosophy in itself, rather than his relation to other thinkers and disciplines.

For the first week (14 January), we will try to read §§172-197. We suggest the dual language Revised Fourth edition by P. M. S. Hacker and Joachim Schulte, but feel free to use whatever copy is available to you.

Please contact Aline Rickli for further information. Aline.Rickli@warwick.ac.uk
