Trent Philosophy Society

The Trent Philosophy Society (or TPS as it is affectionately called) is Trent's oldest undergraduate society and is dedicated to encouraging the pursuit of philosophy in and out of the classroom. All students who have taken or are taking a philosophy course are considered members and encouraged to join us for events.

Faculty Advisor: Byron Stoyles

Student TPS Coordinators: TBD for the 2025/26 year

Students, please watch your inbox for invitations to events hosted by the TPS and for opportunities to engage in philosophical discussions with your peers. Upcoming events include discussion nights, guest speakers, and a student colloquium.
