Kant’s Philosophy Today
From September to November 2024, the Goethe-Institut London hosted an event series in cooperation with the Institute of Philosophy - School of Advanced Study (University of London), to commemorate 300 years since the birth of German philosopher Immanuel Kant.
Each of the three moderated discussions brought together a panel of experts to explore Kant’s theories of knowledge, ethics, and aesthetics in relation to contemporary pressing issues. Aimed to make Kantian philosophy accessible to the general public, the lecture sessions sought to answer two central questions: Why has interest in Kant persisted? And can his ideas truly help us think through some of today’s most urgent problems?
All lectures were curated and chaired by Stephen Howard, Senior Postdoctoral Fellow in Philosophy at KU Leuven, Belgium, and a Fellow at FRIAS, Universität Freiburg, Germany.
About the project
For this event series, I oversaw the full digital production process in my capacity as the manager of the Goethe-Institut UK’s editorial content. I revised all information and promotional texts and provided strategic guidance on the visual materials created in Canva by the commissioned designer. As manager of the Goethe-Institut UK website, I was responsible for building and updating dedicated event pages using our custom CMS.
As a Communications team member responsible for the Goethe-Institut London’s social media channels, I worked closely with internal and external stakeholders to schedule and publish promotional posts, source social media handles for guest universities and speakers, and ensure consistent messaging across all platforms.
Using analytics tools such as Webtrekk, I monitored and reported on digital engagement metrics, and regularly shared Eventbrite ticket sales figures with internal stakeholders. Working to target sales timelines provided, I made strategic budget decisions - including investing in boosted posts via Meta Ads Manager - to maximise reach and engagement when sales were behind schedule.
