50th Annual Meeting

The Bertrand Russell Society 2023 Annual Meeting will be held in-person at the University of Iowa in Iowa City, Iowa. It will be a hybrid meeting that also includes online-only participants and presentations by Zoom. We are excited for our second hybrid meeting as we broaden and enrich the community of scholars and activists interested in Russell studies and in promoting the causes for which Russell advocated.
