Gardener | Public Philosopher
royal horticultural society | Great dixter
In 2012, I served as Deputy Chair of the British Postgraduate Philosophy Association’s 16th Annual Conference. Besides all the usual conference organising duties–funding proposals, venue booking, refereeing, logistics–I was really excited to take the reins on creating and organising a full-day Careers workshop at the Royal Society of Edinburgh.
Of interest to many of the delegates was the special session “Philosophy outside of Academia”. With funding from the Society for Applied Philosophy, this session focussed both on careers for philosophy grads and postgrads in the non-academic world, as well as ways for professional philosophers to engage locally and internationally. The ever-brilliant and hilarious Dr. Thom Brooks (Law and Philosophy, Durham University) gave an inspiring talk, followed by Q&A, an MP3 of which can be found here.
