About the society
The Russellian Society is the philosophy society of the University of Sydney. We were established in 1975, and are a student-run body affiliated with the Department of Philosophy.
The society's objective is to develop understanding of the issues and language of philosophy -- both by the students of Sydney University and by other interested persons.
Despite its name the society has no particular connection to the philosophy of Bertrand Russell.
We maintain an e-mail notification
list of upcoming Russoc events. Anyone, including non-Russoc members, is welcome to join the list.
How to join
Membership costs $5 for "access card" holders (Sydney University student union).
The main benefit of membership is the discount to Russoc guest lectures. You also acquire voting privileges: the society operates according to a constitution, and elects a new executive each year.
Entry to discussion groups is FREE, both to members and to non-members.
For enquiries regarding membership, please see any member of the executive at the next Russoc meeting, or
contact the Russoc president, Michael Slezak, at michael [dot] slezak [at] gmail [dot] com.
