SUMMARY:insight4me Philosophy: Ethics With University of Reading & University of East Anglia
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n \n  \ninsight4me is a series of subject specific webinars for current Year 12 & 13 students. The sessions support students’ current studies by giving an insight into particular curriculum areas whilst affording students the opportunity to talk to different universities and make informed comparisons about how\, in this case\, Philosophy is taught. \nIn this insight4me Philosophy webinar for schools and colleges\, University of East Anglia and University of Reading will each have roughly 30 minutes to deliver a punchy\, topic based ‘micro’ talk. Within an overall session theme of Ethics\, the universities have the freedom to choose their own topic and use the time to convey the key points of the case studies for the students. \nThrough the discussion\, the universities are encouraged to provide an insight into the teaching and learning experience of this topic at university\, and compare and contrast how other subject areas across the Philosophy spectrum might be treated. Students will gain an insight into how these subjects continue beyond A-levels\, T-levels\, IB\, BTEC and equivalent qualifications. \nBy hearing from 2 unis\, students will also appreciate how the further study of Philosophy can vary between institutions\, contributing to the depth of their HE research and assisting informed decision making. \nFull details of the universities and their talks will appear below when available.  \n\nUniversity of East Anglia: Dr James Andow will present Ethics and the Future. Does the future pose an important challenge for ethics? Can ethical theories say sensible things about our relationship to the future?\nUniversity of Reading: Dr Luke Elson will present The Experience Machine What is a good life? You might think a happy life\, with lots of pleasure and not much pain. This ‘hedonism’ about the good life has a lot to be said for it. We’ll talk about a famous argument against hedonism from the philosopher Robert Nozick: what about a happy life built on lies?\n\n  \nOur events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom or students and teachers can take part as individuals\, either from school or from home. This means that sessions will continue irrespective of possible school closures. \nAs a live\, participative event\, this session will not be recorded but slides and other resources will be shared after the event\, where available. \n  \nSuitable for: Year 12 & 13 students (and equivalent) studying\, or with a possible interest in studying\, Philosophy and related disciplines. \nPreparation/Pre-Reading: Students may wish to consider the 2 topics and discuss some of the key elements in advance. Students can also think about questions they have about studying Philosophy at university level. \nThe IT Setup: The event will be run on Bluejeans and participants will be able to join using laptops\, tablets\, and mobile devices. If you are joining as a school group\, we recommend connecting with one device and projecting on to a whiteboard. You will be able to interact with the university via a microphone and/or typed comments and questions. Full details will be sent to those who have registered (see below) prior to the event. \nBooking a Place: This is free for schools and colleges. If you would like to take part in this event\, please register your interest using the link to the registration form below: \nRegister Here \n  \n\n
