Over 300 people attended ‘Stoicism Today’, a public conference funded and organized by the Centre. The event is part of Stoic Week – a week of public activities exploring how people can use Stoicism today.

Speakers included Professor Chris Gill of Exeter University, Professor Angie Hobbs of Sheffield University, Dr John Sellars of Kings College London, Nikki Cameron of HMP Low Moss, and Jules Evans, policy director of the Centre, who organized the event.

Stoicism Today is a three-year-old project researching how people use Stoic philosophy in modern life, and how it inspired Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Stoic Week is an online course which people can follow around the world – 2500 people took part this year.

The project has received coverage in publications including the Today programme on Radio 4, Newsweek, the Guardian, the Spectator, Forbes, ABC Australia and the New York Times.
