Kristie Dotson is a University Diversity and Social Transformation Professor of Philosophy and Afroamerican and African Studies at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. She specialises in epistemology, metaphilosophy, and Black feminist philosophy. She has published numerous journal articles. Her work explores a range of topics, from exploring the ways knowledge-related concerns impact and reinforce oppression to diversity in the profession of philosophy to Black feminist, social epistemology. She is currently working on a monograph aimed at, what she calls, Black girl world building. Through a series of writings to famous and infamous Black women from the United States ofAmerica, Dr. Dotson sets philosophical investigation according to ideas and concerns that emerged from having lived as a Black girl in the U.S.

The Society’s philosophy talks take place every fortnight on Mondays throughout the academic year. Each talk starts at 18.00 and lasts for approximately an hour. The remainder of the time is dedicated to discussion, which ends at 19.45.
All of the Society’s philosophy talks are catered with fairtrade teas, coffees, and biscuits.
In line with the Society’s mission to make philosophy readily available to the general public, all talks are free and membership is not required.
Following over a century of tradition, draft papers for all the talks are available in advance. Please note that draft papers can only be cited with the authors permission (see below for final publication and subscription details). The draft paper for a talk is available approximately one week prior to its schedule delivery.
For the past 142 years, the Proceedings has featured widely respected papers delivered by a range of prominent philosophers, such as Alfred North Whitehead, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Bertrand Russell, A.J. Ayer, P.F. Strawson, Karl Popper, Elizabeth Anscombe, Bernard Williams, Hubert Dreyfus, Alexander Nehamas, and Onora O’Neill. Final drafts of the papers – including discussion notes and exemplary graduate papers – are published in the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society.
