OTHER TALKS / DISCCUSIONS
OF INTEREST / MISC.:
Dear Philosophy Majors and Minors:
We hope you had a great fall break. As we begin the second half of the
semester, you might consider submitting one of the papers for your courses
to these upcoming conferences:
(1) The 2010 meeting of the Michigan Academy of Science, Arts, and Letters
will be held on March 26, 2010 at Calvin College. It is an accessible
and relatively inexpensive meeting both for students and faculty. The
meeting is an excellent opportunity for students to present significant
research to---and learn from---seasoned professionals in their field,
and is a particularly appropriate venue for presenting interdisciplinary
work. Calls for papers are at http://www.alma.edu/michiganacademy/Call_for_Papers.
The abstract deadline is November 30.
(2) The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics at DePauw University is
sponsoring an Undergraduate Ethics Symposium April 8-10, 2010. This
conference is
shaped around a series of workshops in which students present to one
another their best work on a subject of ethical concern. A Call for
Essays and Creative Writing Projects is attached, and a tentative schedule
for
the symposium, which will be frequently updated, is available on the
website: http://prindleinstitute.depauw.edu/programs/ethics_symposium.asp.
While writings on all areas of ethical concern are welcome, submissions
focusing on Self-Interest, Altruism and Morality: Evolutionary, Religious
and Philosophical Perspectives are encouraged. This is an honors symposium,
and those students whose works are received by the February 1 deadline
and accepted for inclusion in the conference program by panels of DePauw
faculty members will have all of their expenses paid for the conference.
DePauw will cover travel expenses (up to $400), lodging and food for
each conference participant.
Stay tuned for information about Philosophy courses for the spring
semester.
