We meet each week on Tuesdays at 1pm–2pm to discuss papers in the Philosophy of Medicine, broadly construed. We are open to students and staff in HPS and other departments. Participants are expected to read papers before the session, although normally a session leader gives a short introduction to that week's reading.
Organised by Jacob Stegenga.
Michaelmas Term 2021
This term we will be reading Anya Plutynksi's recent book Explaining Cancer.
The first two weeks will be on Zoom, after which we will decide if we can meet in person for the remaining weeks.
