The thirteenth edition of Philopolis will take place on February 23rd , 24th and 25th 2024 at McGill University.

Philopolis is an annual three-day conference organized by philosophy students from McGill,
Concordia, UQAM and UdeM whose central goal is to facilitate exchanges between the grand
public, students, professors and researchers from all fields. Through more than 60 activities,
panels, discussions and debates, Philopolis is a unique occasion for groups that are too often
separated to share their ideas and offers a single opportunity for those who want to initiate
themselves to philosophical research.

For any further question or request, please communicate with us at info@philopolis.net.

Calling all students in Philosophy that are interested in an opportunity to speak about inclusivity in our field!

This panel will be hosted in the Grey-Nuns lounge and open to all who
wish to attend! We hope our event will provide both students as well
as faculty with an opportunity to engage one another in a way a
classroom environment might not and to allow students to engross
themselves in a larger community in the philosophy department here at
Concordia. Please join us for refreshments and engaging discussion this March 22nd!

If there are any topics or questions you would like touched on please submit them to:
