Position Details (Master's)

The Global Philosophy and Intensive Language program offered at SOAS University of Londonprovides a rich and advanced engagement with philosophy which exposes students to a wide variety of global, rather than narrowly Western, intellectual traditions and themes than would be possible in other philosophy postgraduate degree programs.

The Global Philosophy and Intensive Language program offered at SOAS University of London has a strongly applied element, designed to demonstrate the significance of philosophy for pressing contemporary concerns (such as the climate crisis, animal/human relations; gender debates; race relations; intercultural understanding; racial capitalism; public rationality and democracy).
