The Applied Philosophy Speaker Series

The Applied Philosophy Speaker Series is co-organized by W.A.V.E. (Workshop on Agency, Value, and Ethics) and Yuan Yuan, one of our faculty members, in her capacity as the North American Overseas Representative of the Society for Applied Philosophy. Events in the series will occur annually from 2025 to 2028. We extend our gratitude to the Society for Applied Philosophy for its generous sponsorship.

Upcoming events:

The Society for Applied Philosophy was founded in 1982 with the aim of promoting philosophical work that has a direct bearing on areas of practical concern. It arose from the awareness that many topics of public debate — in law, politics, economics, science, technology, medicine and more — can be illuminated by critical analysis, philosophical questioning, and reflection of questions of value. We support workshops, conferences, lectures and graduate bursaries across the field of applied philosophy, and produce the Journal of Applied Philosophy.
