'Vice and Violence': A Quartet Symposium, 19 June 2026
On 19 June, the University’s interdisciplinary Culture-Media-Text Research Centre will host a symposium on the work of the philosophers Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley and Iris Murdoch (collectively known as ‘the Quartet’). The symposium will explore how their work might be brought to bear on the study of film, as well as how film might reframe our understanding of their philosophy, with a focus on war and violence. The Call for Papers is open until 27 February. For further information, visit the Culture-Media-Text Research Centre page.
