Meetings

Every year, the Bertrand Russell Society has an annual meeting. Any of its members is welcome to present a paper. At annual meetings, we also have a membership meeting, and a board meeting, to conduct Society business. The 2024 annual meeting will be held at the Center for Inquiry, Amherst, New York. The meeting is locally organized by Timothy Madigan (St. John Fisher College).

A list of previous annual meetings is available here. Below is a list of all upcoming Russell-related meetings below. If you wish to add a meeting, just let us know!
