| Getting to
Canterbury From London.
The easiest way to get to Canterbury is to take the
Southeastern
high-speed train from St. Pancras to
Canterbury West. There is also a slower service from
London Victoria to Canterbury East.
From Gatwick. To make the trip by train, take the Gatwick Express to London Victoria. Then, follow the instructions above. St. Pancras can be reached from London Victoria by taking the Victoria Line north to Kings Cross/St. Pancras on the underground. Gatwick is roughly 70 miles from Canterbury, so it is possible to make the trip by car. From Heathrow. To make the trip by train, take the Heathrow Express to London Paddington. Then, follow the instructions above. St. Pancras can be reached from Paddington by taking the Circle Line to Kings Cross/St. Pancras on the underground. Getting to the University of Kent. The University of Kent is located here. It is approximately a 20-minute walk from Canterbury West. Some useful maps for getting around Canterbury are here. All talks will take place in the Keynes Lecture Theatre 3. Lunches will be in the Keynes Atrium. |

On 26-27 June Kent will also be hosting a
conference on Aesthetics,
Normativity, and Reasons. The conferences will
run separately, but on Friday they will be in adjacent
rooms and it is hoped that one of the conference meals
will be a joint affair.

organized by Jeff Dunn (DePauw) and Kristoffer
Ahlstrom-Vij (Kent) and made possible by funds from
the Leverhulme Trust, the Kent Institute for
Advanced Studies in the Humanities (KIASH), and
