Impact, public engagement and events
Our members are often invited to local and international forums to engage on diverse topics of public interest, including to media houses such as BBC Radio. We have sustained collaborations with professional bodies, museums, health organisations, and cultural organisations nationally and internationally. We pursue our strategic impact objectives through our collaborations with these organisations.
We frequently host a diverse range of events, from small specialist seminars and workshops to large international conferences to public lectures. These are sometimes held in association with leading professional organisations, in which several staff are heavily involved.
Our main seminar series takes place fortnightly with visiting speakers from the UK and overseas. A weekly work-in-progress seminar also allows staff and postgraduates the opportunity to present and respond to current research work in a more informal setting.
At any one time, numerous informal reading groups are under way in the centre, covering various aspects of research in the history and philosophy of science, technology, and medicine.
Members of the Centre also benefit from seminars organised by the School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science and its other research centres including: Metaphysics and Mind, Aesthetic, Moral and Political Philosophy, Philosophy of Religion, and by other groups in the University.
