Philosophy in/on translation
Research and reading group / Grupo de pesquisa e leitura
Our reading sessions take place every 2-3 months and have different set-ups. We may work with a seminal paper, a working paper or an already published work by one of our members or by a guest. After a few introductory remarks, the host opens the session with a quick presentation of the work in the question. This is followed by a discussion in small groups in multilingual breakout rooms.

Transphil Reading Series – 2023-24
Reading series based on the Special Issue of Perspectives “Philosophy in/on translation” (ed. Philip Wilson & Alice Leal, 2023)
The first publication of our group came out earlier this year, and the papers count over 4,000 views so far. To offer everyone an opportunity to (re)read the papers and discuss them, we have put together a reading series.
