Join the Philosophy Association of UFV in welcoming their first guest speaker, Willow Verkerk — a feminist philosopher based in Vancouver — to discuss the work of philosopher Jacques Derrida on The Politics of Friendship.

This event, while geared towards philosophy, is open to all students, faculty and alumni from UFV and other local institutions with an interest in philosophy and theory. Looking at philosophical thinkers Derrida, Nietzsche, Bataille, and Aristotle from a feminist perspective, Willow Verkerk and the Philosophy Association of UFV are excited to have you with us!
