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 current work. Sessions are held at least once a month, on Tuesdays from 3:00 to 4:30, and feature a paper presentation (around 30-40 minutes) of a work in progress – thesis chapter, article draft, research grant application –, 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).
Attendance is free and open to the public
