Research

The value of our research, an integral focus of the Department of Philosophy, is in collaboration and the sharing of knowledge.

Events

Events are an important part of learning. We hold many events each year:

  • Listen to professional philosophers talk about their work at the speaker series, which includes an annual lecture related to ethics
  • The Concordia Research Symposium in Philosophy (CRSP, pronounced "crisp") where our own professoriate shares their research, followed by a Q&A
  • Thesis defences by Philosophy students

Projects

Our faculty are actively involved in projects that reach beyond the walls of Concordia University.

The Research on Logical Expressivism group (ROLE) is organized primarily by Ulf Hlobil (Concordia University) and Robert Brandom (University of Pittsburgh). Funding is provided by Canada’s Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

Our philosophers are a part of the Centre de recherche en éthique/Centre for Research in Ethics (CRÉ), which unites researchers addressing ethical questions from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.

Additionally, we belong to the Groupe de recherche éthique environementale et animale, which is also associated with CRE.

The Groupe de Recherche Interuniversitaire en Philosophie Politique (GRIPP) unites faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students in political theory and political philosophy.

The Groupe de Recherche Interuniversitaire sur la Normativité (GRIN) studies normativity in four major areas of philosophy: ethics, theory of action, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of knowledge.

We additionally participate in Concordia's Social Justice Centre.

Publications
