Events

The Philosophy of Memory Organization is pleased to announce Issues in Philosophy of Memory 4.5.

This year's conference will take place as the Philosophy of Memory Early Career Conference on Thursday 22 – Friday 23 May 2025.

IPM 4.5 is dedicated to providing a platform for early career researchers (PhD students and postdoctoral researchers) to present their work in philosophy of memory. This year, the event aims to foster collaborations within the broader international philosophy of memory community.

The conference will take place on Zoom and will feature a novel format, with each session consisting of a talk by an early-career researcher followed by a short commentary from an established researcher in the field.
