MAPS – work in progress performance, at King’s Arts and Humanities Festival
02 Monday Oct 2017
Posted in Events
9 October, 20:00 — 21:00
MAPS is a performance dance piece considering the world map through its constantly changing nature, as a movable image and a portrait of how globalisation and freedom of information have broken our understanding of borders. Three dancers and a live musician bring the world map to life in a continuous, culturally mixed, rhythmic groove.
Our Dr Sarah Fine worked as academic adviser for this peace, and is warmly inviting us to attend. There will be a Q&A session after the dance, with her, Sivan Rubinstein (the choreographer), and Christina Elliot (Senior Producer at The Place in King’s Cross).

Philosophy in Prison

Posted in Public engagements
In 2016, the King’s Department of Philosophy piloted an 8-week philosophy course for prisoners at HMP Belmarsh. With the support of Professors Bill Brewer and MM McCabe, Mike Coxhead (PhD candidate and Visiting Research Fellow in the Department), Andy West (senior specialist at The Philosophy Foundation), and Andrea Fassolas (honorary therapist at the Guild of Psychotherapists) developed and delivered a course of discussion-based philosophy classes.
In 2017, King’s will offer a re-run of the original pilot course, as well as a second course specifically targeted at ESOL learners.
More details about the course content and its outcomes can be found on the King’s Philosophy research pages.

Workshop on ‘Know How’ — 23 May
24 Wednesday May 2017
Programme:
- 11-12:30: Eliot Michaelson (KCL)
- Lunch
- 1:30-3:00: Ellen Fridland (KCL)
- 3:00-4:30: Jennifer Hornsby (Birkbeck) – ‘Against anti-philosophical intellectualism’ *
* Abstract
Jennifer Hornsby: I’ll argue that questions about the nature of knowing how should be answered in philosophy, not linguistics. (a) Gilbert Ryle’s conception of self-knowledge as requiring “higher order acts” prevented him from addressing questions about knowing-how such as arise in philosophy of action. (b) Jason Stanley’s various misinterpretations of Ryle readily lead to his assumption that Ryle’s anti-intellectualism is a thesis about ascriptions of knowledge.
