The Superdeep Workshop

The Workshop is Superdeep‘s work-in-progress workshop for DKU’s philosophical community (students, faculty, guests), allowing participants to present, workshop, and refine their philosophical projects (essays, presentations, signature work, etc.). Generally meetings involve a participant’s brief presentation followed by general Q&A. The workshop usually meets Thu around 6pm in IB 2026; snacks and refreshments are served. The Workshop is both a forum for focused intellectual engagement and a space for students to socialize and share their thoughts and interests. Everyone is welcome to attend; no prior knowledge of philosophy required.
