Communicating with the Department

The Department of Philosophy uses several channels of communication to convey information to you. It is your responsibility to check regularly with these sources of information.

Official Communications and Department Correspondence

Good communication is vital, and we recognise that it is two-way street. We will communicate with you in a number of ways, most often via email, but also by face-to-face or online (e.g. Zoom, Slack) meetings and conversations. Any department correspondence by letter will be sent to the term time or home address listed on e:Vision.

The department has Facebook and Twitter accounts and you may choose to sign up to these for up-to-date announcements of social and academic events and news.

Email

We will always use your University email account to contact you, and it is important that you always use your University email account for all academic and administrative business. This is the only way we can meet our legal requirement to protect your personal information.

  • It is your responsibility to keep track of your email and to respond to requests in a timely fashion. We suggest you check your email at least once per day.

  • When communicating with University administration (e.g. PGR Administration, Finance), always include your student ID number in the subject line.

Social Media

Daniel Morgan, our Social Media officer, sends a weekly email prompt to academic staff and PG researchers, soliciting items for the Department's Twitter and Facebook pages. Newsworthy items could be a new publication, giving a talk, organising a conference, etc. If you have a suggestion but are unsure if it's appropriate, just ask Daniel.
