Student Representation
The Philosophy Faculty is run by its Faculty Board, which meets twice each term. All of the twelve Philosophy teaching staff are members; and there are representatives from related faculties (Experimental Psychology, HPS and Classics). There are also three student members (two undergraduate and one graduate), who are elected in the middle of each Michalmas Term. They are known as the Student Reps. The Reps are your direct link to the official running of the Faculty. If you have any views or queries, please discuss them with your reps first: they can decide whether to take the matter further, either to the Staff-Student Committee (see below) or to the Faculty Board itself.
The current Student Members on the Faculty Board are:
- Vittoria Fallanca, Part IA - Churchill College
- Beatrice Patrick, Part II — Newnham College
- Katharine Jenkins, Graduate (MPhil) — Emmanuel College
The reps can be reached on phil-studentreps@lists.cam.ac.uk
The current undergraduate student representative of the Council of the School of Arts and Humanities is:
- Mr Conrad Landin (English Tripos, Christ's College)
Staff-Student Committe
All philosophy students are automatically members of the Faculty's Staff Student Committee. However, in practice only a few students wish to attend meetings. It is hoped that at least two representatives from each year group (including graduates) will regularly attend. The Committee usually meets once a term, between meetings of the Faculty Board, to consider matters referred to it by the Board, or raised by its members.
A list of students regularly attending meetings is posted on the Faculty Notice-Board. These include the student representatives on the Faculty Board. Students not attending meetings may ask any other Committee member or the student representatives to raise any matter they wish to be discussed. Staff-Student Committee meeting minutes go to the Faculty Board, which will consider any relevant matter the Committee puts to it: e.g. revision of the Tripos, lecturing arrangements. Items for discussion at Staff-Student Commitee Meetings can be handed in at the Faculty Office where minutes and other documents are available for reference.
