Have you ever wished you could teleport? Or mind-read? Or travel time? All of these are easier than you think. Every time you press play you step into another world and open yourself up to someone else's experience. This might not sound like a groundbreaking discovery in an era of constant verbal and visual bombardment, but the potential of this truth is limitless. In his own wildly unconventional way, George the Poet uses music from his environment to convey this point. All you have to do is press play. 

Featured songs: 
Mucky - It's On Me
Maleek Berry - Gimme Life
Bonnie Beretta - Team Bonnie
Guala - Guala Gwala
1011 - Next Up?

Produced by Benbrick and George The Poet

Speaker(s): Dr Liam Bright, Dr Brian Kelly, Dr Meera Sabaratnam | W. E. B. Du Bois is usually remembered as a sociologist and civil rights campaigner, and his analysis of race and racism continues to shape the way social scientists think about these issues today. But a genuine polymath, he was also a skilled philosopher and in this event we will consider Du Bois’s philosophical thought, from art, propaganda, and science, to the very purpose of philosophy itself. Liam Bright (@lastpositivist) is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at LSE. Brian Kelly is Reader in History at Queen’s University Belfast. Meera Sabaratnam is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at SOAS. Jonathan Birch is Associate Professor of Philosophy at LSE. The Forum for European Philosophy (@ForumPhilosophy) is an educational charity that organises a full and varied programme of philosophy and interdisciplinary events in the UK.
