Together with the UCL Philosophy department, and through the generosity of a private donor, the Department organises a series of Keeling Memorial Colloquia on the relation between modern and ancient philosophy. Further information on previous colloquia can be found at the Keeling Centre webpage.
Keeling Lectures
Each year an internationally distinguished scholar of Greek philosophy is invited by the Keeling Centre to give a lecture on any topic of their choice in Greek philosophy from Thales to Plotinus. The event, organised by the Philosophy Department in conjunction with the Department of Greek and Latin at UCL, also sees the Keeling Lecturer run a graduate masterclass on a topic related to the lecture.
