Early Text Cultures (ETC) is the home of conversation among scholars working on premodern texts, from the ancient to the medieval. Based at the University of Oxford, we organise interdisciplinary seminars, conferences and workshops that act as a spur to methodological and conceptual clarity and innovation.
Philiminality Oxford is a student-run platform for cross-cultural and interdisciplinary philosophy. We discuss philosophical ideas, thinkers, and approaches which are frequently marginalized in both Anglo-American and “continental” academic circles. Many of our events focus on the history of philosophy from a global perspective.
