Envisioning and Designing New Research in Philosophy

Workshop, KU Leuven (BE). 9 February 2024.

Unraveling academia

The workshop will discuss different strategies to envision the planning, tailoring, and designing of new research projects in the broad field of philosophy and its historical course. Each session will offer a critique of academia by engaging directly with the main requirements of funding schemes, European institutions, and individual universities. Participants should expect a reasonable amount of realism and be ready for their idealistic plans to be shattered and largely disrupted by their hands-on encounter with the reality of present-day research in philosophy that the workshop will provide.
