The Joint Session is a three-day conference in philosophy held annually by the Aristotelian Society and the Mind Association. It has taken place at nearly every major university across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Since 1910, the Joint Session has grown to become the largest gathering of philosophers in the country, attracting prestigious UK and international speakers working in a broad range of philosophical areas.
This Joint Session is the first to be held on weekdays, a change made for childcare and equality reasons.
Inaugurated by the incoming President of the Mind Association – this year, Professor Rosanna Keefe – the Joint Session includes symposia, open, postgraduate, and SWIP sessions.

* Caveat: last year's Joint Session in Glasgow was the 99th, and so on. And this year will produce the 100th issue of the Supplementary Volume which publishes the symposia of each joint session. Does that make it the 100th Joint Session? Not exactly -- there were a few meetings before these volumes were published. But it is the 100th anniversary of Reading University! The Aristotelian Society has more information about the Joint Session including its history.
