The 'Love etc' workshop will take place at the IDEA CETL at the University of Leeds on the 7th and 8th of Sept 2017. 

The workshop aims to explore themes in the philosophy of love (broadly construed). This includes the philosophy of sex and relationships as well as questions concerning the nature of love, and the partiality of loving relationships. The provisional programme can be found below.   The workshop is free to attend, but places are limited and registration is required.
