Luce Irigaray Symposium

A public discussion with postgraduate students and IAS Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professor Luce Irigaray

Time: 5pm, reception to follow

Since 2003, philosopher Luce Irigaray has held a weeklong residential seminar with visiting PhD and early career researchers interested in aspects of her work. The University of Bristol is delighted to welcome researchers to this year's Luce Irigaray International Seminar from the 10-16 June 2012, and to host a public symposium in which seminar participants present their research, followed by commentary from Luce Irigaray.

All are invited to attend. To reserve a place, contact Gemma Simpson at

IAS Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professor Luce Irigaray is Director of Research in Philosophy at the Centre National de la recherche scientifique française.

Her work focuses on the cultivation of a culture of two subjects, masculine and feminine, and in the possibilities of an inter-relational ethics respectful of all differences: between sexes, between cultures, between generations.
