Ideas and Activities for SPRING 2010

Be on the lookout for upcoming posts about activities for and including undergraduate students in the Philosophy Department.  This term will include the 2nd annual undergraduate philosophy conference to be held at Marquette, and will also include a departmental publication modeled on NPR’s This I Believe.  The publication will include statements of belief (broadly construed) from faculty members, graduate students, and undergraduate students, and is an inspiration of Ms. Jesse Reilly, an undergraduate Philosophy major.

We will also likely host another local outing like the trip to the Bartok symphony last term.  The question for you is:  What kinds of activities or events would YOU like to see the Philosophy Department host for undergraduates? Please post ideas here, and we’ll see if we can make them happen.

Happy 2010 to you all.

Call for Undergraduate Papers: Wisconsin Philosophical Association

The Annual Meeting of the Wisconsin Philosophical Association will be held on Saturday, April 10, 2010 at University of Wisconsin Stevens Point.

We hope that you will join us for what should be a very interesting meeting and we would like to invite you to submit a paper for presentation at this program. Papers will be considered in all areas of philosophy. The papers should be 10-15 pages and can be submitted electronically (preferred) or by four double-spaced hard copies. The selection will be by blind review of a committee of philosophers from Wisconsin, and so we request that the cover page include the title and the author’s name and address, and that the author’s name be omitted from the rest of the paper.

Please also indicate whether the submission isan undergraduate submission, or a faculty/graduate student submission.

To encourage more discussion and also to provide time for more papers, we will once again be using our unique format. Copies of the papers will be available prior to the meeting on the WPA website, and instead of reading the papers, presenters will be asked to provide a 10-15 minute informal summary of their paper. This allows for more discussion for more lively and active sessions.

Papers should be submitted by February 1, 2010
