Praxis-in-Process 2024/25

 

 

 

Praxis-in-Process is a research seminar designed as a collaborative space for researchers at all career stages—from Master’s and PhD students to junior and senior researchers—to present their ongoing work. Sessions are held at least once a month, on Tuesdays from 14h00 to 16h00, and feature a brief talk or paper presentation (around 25 minutes), followed by a discussion in a relaxed, stimulating environment. We welcome topics spanning the broad spectrum of practical philosophy and related fields, with a focus on theories and methodologies within the continental tradition (see our “About Praxis” section here).

The seminar is open to any interested scholar, student, or researcher, regardless of affiliation with the University of Lisbon. Interested in participating? Email Dr. Ricardo Mendoza-Canales at rcanales[at]letras.ulisboa.pt.
