51st Annual Meeting

The Bertrand Russell Society 2024 Annual Meeting will be held in-person at the Center for Inquiry in Amherst, New York (near Rochester). It will be a hybrid meeting that also includes online-only participants and presentations by Zoom. We are excited for our third 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.
