The British Academy 10-Minute Talks: Philosophy in prison
20 May 2020, 13:00 - 13:30
- Venue
- The British Academy on YouTube
The world’s leading professors explain the latest thinking in the humanities and social sciences in just 10 minutes.
If a society is measured by how it treats its worst off, we have reason to think hard and well about how we manage the lives of those in prison. Philosophy – in particular, the collaborative doing of philosophy – has here a role to play. Join M M McCabe as she explores how introducing philosophical discussion into prisons may matter.

Speaker: Professor M M McCabe FBA, Professor of Ancient Philosophy Emerita, King’s College London
