Philosophy has been at the heart of the University of Kent since its foundation in 1965. It has contributed greatly to the original mission of interdisciplinarity and close links with the local communities and wider society, including through two Philosophy centres, the Centre for Practical Normativity and the Centre for Reasoning.

Following the University decision to close down Philosophy, this conference will mark the occasion by celebrating the department’s achievements and will offer a space for reflection on the significance of philosophy for higher education, local communities and wider society.

The conference talks will address one or more of the following themes:

• the importance of philosophy to higher education;
• the role of philosophy within local communities and wider society, and;
• specific contributions of Philosophy at Kent.

The conference will implement fully the BPA/SWIP Good Practice Scheme including Guidance on Accessible Events.
