What is Phil-Free?
Phil-Free is an educational community, established by the voluntary students of the Philosophy Department at Boğaziçi University. It is the 21st century, yet, as young generations, we are trying to make room for discussions of our problems about human rights, freedom, and equality in and outside of school. We see the oppression stored behind the lack of diversity in lecture syllabuses, prejudicial portrayal of Womxn and LGBTIQ+ members, and oppressive consequences of race, gender, disability, and class differences more clearly. After the appointed rector to our school, we wanted to take our part to build socially aware societies since human rights seem to be far from institutions. Our motive is to create a nonhierarchic space for empowering and informative conversations on various topics in line with ongoing social struggles.

We will be sharing recordings of our Open-Classes with English and Turkish subtitles on our Youtube Channel.

We all love knowledge. Right?? Keep in touch, buddy.
