The Daniel C. Dennett Lecture in Culture and Technology

I organise the Daniel C. Dennett Lecture in Culture and Technology at Northeastern University London. Here, you can find information on each year's lecture and recordings. 

Mission Statement

In these annual lectures, world-leading experts explore philosophical topics at the intersection of humanities, natural and social sciences, technology, and public discourse. The lectures are representative of the kind of boundary-crossing, applied approach that characterised Daniel Dennett's life and career - and which is at the heart of the humanities at NU London. Aimed at the general public, the lectures are designed to bring the humanities into wider discussion, and require no prior knowledge of philosophy or any other discipline. The 2025 lecture was delivered by Mazviita Chirimuuta (Edinburgh).

With thanks to the Dennett Estate for permission to use Daniel C. Dennett's name (note that this event is not associated with the Dennett Prize).
