There are a number of philosophy events that are available to postgraduates at Cardiff university.
Perhaps the most easily accessible is the Postgraduate reading group. This meets weekly on Thursday at 5.30pm in the room opposite C Norris’s office and is open to all postgraduates and 3rd year undergraduates who want to find out more about postgraduate study. It is a friendly group and usually very well attended by people who just like to talk philosophy with others.
There are also Philosophy Research Seminars that are part funded by the Royal Institute of Philosophy. This means that they are also open to the general public and therefore should be as jargon free as possible in order to be accessible to the intelligent lay person <cough>. This occur fortnightly, Wednesdays at 4.15, in room 0.01 on the ground floor next to the porters lodge in the humanities building.

Finally there is a moral psychology reading group that is open to staff and postgraduates. This meets weekly on Wednesdays at 12pm. However, access to this group is rumoured to be through a masonic hand shake and a wink in the right direction. As befits many secret societies the location of the group is kept secret until last minute, although Jon Webber may know the whereabouts. Make sure to wink when enquiring.
There is also a moral psychology reading group that is open to postgraduates although entrance to this group seems to require a masonic hand gesture with a wink and a nod to the right person. It meets on Wednesdays at about 12pm. As befits such secret societies the location is kept secret until the last moment but Jon Webber is likely to have more details. Don’t forget the wink when enquiring and feel free to blog about the topics here
