The Goldsmiths Undergraduate Philosophy Circle is open to all Goldsmiths students interested in reading and discussing philosophical texts together. 

We started in January 2021 and meet every Friday afternoon, from 4-6pm –  at the moment online via Teams.
We decide collectively what to read and try to accommodate as many interests as possible, while aiming to create thematic blocks.
If you’re interested in joining, please get in touch with Svenja Bromberg s.bromberg@gold.ac.uk to receive the links to the readings and to the Teams meeting.
