We are excited to announce Philosophia’s 2019 journal launch and 13th annual conference!

Every year, Philosophia publishes and launches the Undergraduate Philosophy Student-Review: The Oracle. The Oracle is a student-run initiative that accepts pieces from all disciplines.

This year, the event will be held on May 22nd, 12pm-5pm, in the Senior Common Room at Vanier College (VC010).

We have 5 amazing presenters who have worked very hard throughout the academic year and put in a lot of effort preparing their works for the journal and conference! Topics include neuroscience+consciousness, free will, and memetics, along with some poetry and artwork that will be presented, and a keynote talk by Professor Alice Machlachlan titled, “Who’s Sorry, Whose Story? #MeToo and the Public Mea Culpa”.

This event is a great opportunity to meet students with similar interests, facilitate critical discussion, gain conference experience, and support your fellow peers!

There will be a full catering, $300 in prizes to be won, and free limited-edition copies of the journal will be distributed to all attendees!

Bring your friends and family to this amazing event. We look forward to sharing this exciting day with everyone!
