To kick off this academic year, we asked students to create a short video to tell us about a philosopher who is a member of a group that is underrepresented in philosophy.

We’re delighted to announce that the winner of our video competition is Estelle Nusbaumer, with her video on Zhuangzi and Daoism/Taoism. Congratulations to Estelle!

We’d also like to offer an honourable mention to our competition runner up, Quince Pan, with his video on Kok-Chor Tan’s Global Luck Egalitarianism:

Huge thanks to all of the students who submitted videos – the panel really enjoying watching and learning from them.
