Dawes Hicks Lectures on Philosophy

The Dawes Hicks Lectures on Philosophy were endowed through a bequest from George Dawes Hicks FBA. The lecture was first delivered in 1955. From 1994 to 2014, the lectures were converted into a series of symposia. In 2018 it was agreed that henceforth the lecture fund should be used to support philosophy-themed events in the British Academy Conferences programme.
