The British Society for Phenomenology is looking for society members who would like to take on a role within our Executive Committee (ExCo) as either Membership Secretary or Annual UK Conference Chair.

The British Society for Phenomenology (BSP)

The BSP is a not-for-profit organisation set up with the intention of promoting research and awareness in the field of phenomenology and other cognate arms of philosophical thought and practice. Currently, the society accomplishes these aims through its journal, prize, podcast, impact agenda, and events. We are an open and welcoming society, and our aim is to create a convivial, inclusive environment for our membership during every interaction.

BSP Executive Committee (ExCo):

The BSP is represented by an Executive Committee (ExCo), a body within and composed from the society’s membership committed to ensuring the success and growth of the society. Executive committee representatives may serve by fulfilling a specific role (or roles) for the society, or in a purely advisory capacity. All ExCo roles are unpaid voluntary positions and have a tenure of four years.
