About
The West Coast Plato Workshop is an annual gathering of Plato scholars, founded in 2008. Each year a different West Coast university plays host, and participants spend a few days on a single Platonic dialogue — sharing research, commentary, and conversation in a warm, collegial spirit.
Previous Meetings
The Workshop has gathered every year since its first meeting at UC Davis in 2008. See the full record of past meetings — hosts, keynote speakers, and presenters, year by year.
Attending & Hosting
Meetings are organized by volunteer hosts at their home institutions, usually in late spring or early summer, and scholars at every stage — from graduate students to emeritus professors — are welcome. If you'd like to take part in a future meeting, or to host one, please get in touch.
