Hi! My name is Imogen and I am a second year Philosophy student. During my time at UCL, PhilSoc has been largely inactive and restricted to a narrow confinement of philosophical interests. Hence, I am committed to reviving UCL's Philosophy Society by creating an accessible and engaging space for all students interested in philosophy, regardless of background or experience.

As President, I will:

- Host a diverse range of events, including more socials, student-led discussions, and guest speaker talks.
- Collaborate with other UCL societies and philosophy societies at universities across London.
- Expand beyond the syllabus and incorporate continental and non-Western philosophy into our events (while also maintaining a healthy balance of analytic philosophy for those interested).
- Host more events targeted at underrepresented voices, such as those of BAME, disabled, female and LGBTQ+ persons.
- Introduce a new role for students interested in leading logic help sessions for first-years.

We are fortunate to be studying in a city with such a wealth of philosophical events and history. I hope our society can become a more friendly, exciting and inclusive space, strengthening the philosophical community at UCL. My goal is to reignite enthusiasm for the society and ensure it becomes a vibrant intellectual and social hub for all.
