Ukraine Benefit Conference – What Good Is Philosophy?

March 7, 2023  |  Charles Spinosa PH.D., Billy Glennon

VISION Consulting is proud to support this Benefit Conference for Ukraine.

‘What Good Is Philosophy? – A Benefit Conference for Ukraine’ aims to raise the funds required to establish a Centre for Civic Engagement at Kyiv Mohyla Academy. This Centre will provide support for academic and civic institutions in Ukraine to counteract the destabilizing impact that Russia’s invasion has had on Ukrainian higher education and civilian life. By assisting Ukrainian students and scholars today, this Centre will also help pave the way for a vibrant and engaged post-war Ukraine.

This benefit conference is designed to provide individual academics, members of the public, colleges and universities, professional associations, charitable foundations, and private companies with a way to support students, scholars, and civic institutions in Ukraine. With that said, I clearly encourage you to attend. And you can make a one-time, tax-deductible donation here.” Benefit organiser Aaron James Wendland, Vision Fellow in Public Philosophy, King’s College, London. Senior Research Fellow, Massey College, Toronto.
