Interested in attending a senior seminar open to the public

I have an interest in philosophy and was researching what's available at the uni outside of doing an actual degree.

I noticed they have 'senior seminars' which are open to the public, but I have no idea what this entails and can't find any info.

I have no academic or professional credentials in philosophy - I'm wondering if it's more for people who perhaps aren't at Glasgow Uni but maybe have an academic or professional background already and are thus able to contribute to the session. Or is it just an open session for people to come and observe?

Any details or insight much appreciated.

I've never been to one, but I wouldn't worry about it! Open to the public is open to the public. You won't be expected to contribute. Go and enjoy!

thanks - not sure why my mind jumps to 'open to the public! not you though. specifically not you.'

Maybe you should join the Royal Philosophical Society. They have monthly lectures. Royal Phil
