Philosophy Night: Reading the Roots of the Literacy Crisis

We’ve heard about the literacy crisis from politicians, academics, journalists and the media. Now it’s time for you to have your say! Sunderland Lit & Phil invites you to a round-table philosophy discussion night. Together we will explore Britain’s literacy crisis with a closer look at where literacy most often begins: with children’s education. On the evening of September 25th at Port Independent, we want you to share your thoughts on the topic as we discuss the key philosophical perspectives on childhood education, along with some potential root causes of Britain’s reading crisis and why some thinkers believe we shouldn’t be using the phrase ‘reading crisis’ at all. Drop in, have your say and join a thriving philosophical community right in the heart of Sunderland! If you're interested in this topic, you will enjoy our panel discussion on the British Literacy Crisis this September 17th Tickets are included with membership through Patreon or purchased individually here on Eventbrite.
