Four wonderful Women In Parenthesis Reading Groups are just starting – now is the perfect moment to join one (in London, Liverpool, Oxford and Durham) or to start your own. You’ll find everything you need here to follow along with the groups or to set up a group where you live.
In London
In London, the group will meet on Thursdays 6-7pm, at the main lecture hall at the Royal Institute of Philosophy, 14 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0AR. All are welcome. Any queries, please contact Wartime Quartet Reading Group <wartimequartetreadinggroup@gmail.com>. The reading group will run alongside RIP’s Wartime Quartet lecture series, dedicated to the work of these women, as a complementary resource. The meetings start on 18 October. These sessions will be taken by Ana Barandalla, Research Associate at In Parenthesis, and Hannah Marije Altorf, Reader in Philosophy at St. Mary’s University.

In Liverpool
Alex McPartland and the University of Liverpoool Philosophy Society have just started up a group for women students to meet and discuss the Wartime Quartet. They’re following the reading programme designed by our wonderful intern Annie McCallion, here: https://www.womeninparenthesis.co.uk/reading-schedule-and-tips/. If you’d like to join contact Rachael Wiseman (rachael.wiseman@liverpool.ac.uk) and she’ll put you in touch with Alex.
In Durham
The In Parenthesis reading group at Durham will be convened this year by Ellie Robson (you can read Ellie’s brilliant blog post on Midgley’s Philosophical Plumbing here). If you’d like to join in, get in touch with Ellie (look for posters around the department for her details), or Clare Mac Cumhaill (clare.maccumhaill@dur.ac.uk).
In Oxford
A new reading group, following the RIP schedule, is kicking off in Oxford soon, organised by Sasha Lawson-Frost and Elizabeth Huh. The email address for the group is oxfordmoralists.readinggroup@
