I and We: Literary Texts and the Constitution of Shared Identities - free event

Jonathan Cole, Visiting Professor, Centre of Postgraduate Medical Research and Education (CoPMRE), MSPH will be speaking at this free international online conference and would like to invite you to attend (full programme here). This conference draws together scholars from philosophy, phenomenology, literature, classics, cognitive and neuroscience to debate forms of individual and shared identity, private and collective self-understanding and group affiliation. Contributors will be asking how, in what ways, and to what effect may an ‘I’ become a ‘we’, or a ‘we’ conceive of its various ‘Is’. The hope is to create productive interchange among disciplines that often overlap and yet are also often at cross purposes.

The event is supported by the Independent Research Fund Denmark, the John Fell Fund, and the Oxford Comparative Criticism and Translation Programme (OCCT).

The conference will take place online. All talks are open to the public. All times are CET so an hour earlier for UK.
You will need to register for this conference. The deadline for registration is 3 June 2021.
