Philosophy in/on translation

Research and reading group / Grupo de pesquisa e leitura

Our reading sessions take place every 2-3 months and have different set-ups. We may work with a seminal paper, a working paper or an already published work by one of our members or by a guest. After a few introductory remarks, the host opens the session with a quick presentation of the work in the question. This is followed by a discussion in small groups in multilingual breakout rooms.

The new format doesn't entail any reading in advance. Lectures will take about 50 minutes, which will be followed by a break and then a group discussion. 

This time around, we'd like to ask you to circulate the invite among colleagues who may not be a part of the Transphil group. They can register here.
