Online Philosophy Workshop Series

The Online Philosophy Workshop Series, hosted by philosophers at Peking University, is an informal event where colleagues across China meet online to discuss their works in progress. It aims at promoting collaboration in a difficult time of in-person meetings. Since the summer of 2020, the Online Workshop Series has provided helpful feedbacks to many participants. We welcome colleagues, especially early-career philosophers in China, to join us.
