Trans Day of Remembrance
Piazza

For Trans Day of Remembrance, we are holding a vigil to remember trans and gender-diverse lives lost to transphobic bigotry and violence in the past year. There will be speeches and reading of names at the Piazza. This event is open to anyone and please note that traditional candles will not be used during this event, but feel free to bring battery-powered lights or signs.

 

Finally, we encourage everyone to read up on resources to learn more about being trans. Warwick Pride has a vast number of resources available for anyone to read and the University of Warwick website also has a dedicated page for students who identify as trans. We also encourage everyone to reach out to Warwick Wellbeing to get support if you are struggling. Warwick Wellbeing offers drop-in brief consultations as well as longer-term support if needed.

Summer Seminar 2024: Troy Jollimore, Love’s Vision
R3.25

Thursday April 25, 2–4pm: Preface + Chapter 1: “Something In Between”: On the Nature of Love

Seminars will take place in R3.25. All colleagues, including undergraduate and postgraduate students, are very welcome.

“Love often seems uncontrollable and irrational, but we just as frequently appear to have reasons for loving the people we do. In Love’s Vision, Troy Jollimore offers a new way of understanding love that accommodates both of these facts, arguing that love is guided by reason even as it resists and sometimes eludes rationality. At the same time, he reconsiders love’s moral status, acknowledging its moral dangers while arguing that it is, at heart, a moral phenomenon—an emotion that demands empathy and calls us away from excessive self-concern. Love is revealed as neither wholly moral nor deeply immoral, neither purely rational nor profoundly irrational. Rather, as Diotima says in Plato’s Symposium, love is “something in between.””
