Summer School 2010

Date: 28 Jun to 30 Jun 2010
Venue: Roehampton University

The PESGB is keen to promote philosophy of education to a wide audience. To this end it has been decided that in 2010 in place of the postgraduate International Summer School for around 15 students, we will be running slightly shorter undergraduate event for 50 students in the hope of encouraging more people to consider undertaking philosophy of education at Master’s and doctoral levels. This new undergraduate initiative will be run on alternate years. In 2011 we will be hosting a postgraduate International Summer School at Roehampton, details of which should be available from October 2010. We look forward to reading your application and hope to see you in summer 2011.
