Welcome to the new academic year! The Centre for Ethics, Philosophy and Public Affairs (CEPPA) is a research centre that promotes exploration into important ethical issues arising in public life. Its field of interest comprises ethics, social and political philosophy, and the philosophical dimensions of public affairs. CEPPA houses research projects, outreach projects, seminars, conferences, academic visits, fellowships, publishing, and public discussion on a variety of topics. Details on members’ research projects can be found here.
The events at CEPPA are open to students as well as staff! We run a variety of recurring events, such as:
- Moral Philosophy Reading Group (MPRG): a weekly in-person discussion group on a chapter or article suggested by one of the participants, held 4 – 5pm on Wednesday in Edgecliffe 104.
- CEPPA Seminar: an (almost) weekly seminar with visiting speakers, held 4-5.30pm on Thursdays in Edgecliffe G03 or online. See full list of speakers below!
- Cover-to-Cover-Reading Group: we choose one book each semester to read as a group – we’ll be sending out an email soon seeking nominations for this year.
- CEPPA Film Club: a monthly screening + discussion of a film; starting with Portrait of a Lady on Fire on Thursday September 25th at 4.30pm (more info below).
There will also be a variety of workshops in the spring.
