Dr Lauren Ware, Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy, has been invited to do a series of public talks on her philosophy of emotion research, the first set of which is on the Netflix show Black Mirror and the philosophy of pain and punishment the show engages with.

The first talk will be on Wednesday 23 at Sway Bar in London, with future talks happening in Bristol on 7 November and in Manchester on 11 Nov. Future talks will be on feminism, witchcraft, and political emotions.

A number of other well-known philosophers, including Julian Baggini (Kent honorary graduate and Academic Director of the Royal Institute of Philosophy) and Simon Blackburn, have also taken part in this series.
