Welsh Aesthetics Forum | Fforwm Estheteg Cymru
The Project
Welcome and thank you for visiting the Welsh Aesthetics Forum | Fforwm Estheteg Cymru website!
The Welsh Aesthetics Forum | Fforwm Estheteg Cymru is not a forum for beauticians or cosmetic procedures, but a platform that aims to promote the study and research of philosophical aesthetics and cognate disciplines across Wales, as well as bringing together students and researchers of aesthetics based in Wales.
We'll do this by hosting regular talks by internationally prominent aestheticians at Universities across Wales that are free and open to all. We hope to be able to record many of these talks and also make them available online.
This project is funded through the generosity of the British Society of Aesthetics.
Please follow the links above to find more information about who we are, what we do, what we hope to do, and for details of upcoming events as well as recordings of past lectures.
