PPUPA undergraduate conference

Hey everyone:

I received this e-mail and thought it would be good to post it here. Although it doesn’t mention the location of the conference in this letter, it’s being held at the University of Lethbridge (I assume it’s the one in Calgary). The letter I received also doesn’t mention who the keynote speaker is, but if I find out I’ll post it on the blog.

A bunch of us went down last year, and (minus a lame party) it was a lot of fun. I would encourage any undergrads to send in a submission and check it out. We also got our entire trip paid for by the arts and philosophy department, so I imagine other people could do the same if the went and talked to some people about getting funding.

November 18, 2008

Greetings everyone,

Please accept my apologies for the delay in getting this information out.

Attached is information for the upcoming PPUPA (Prairie Province Undergrad Philosophy Association Conference) Call for Papers which is currently planned for March 21 – 22, 2009. If there are indications that this date is unacceptable there is the possibility that we may be able to move it to the weekend either before or after.

The keynote of the conference will focus on religion and metaphysics. This topic will address the high value placed on all religious or spiritual views and the deep need for some kind of metaphysic to support such a view.

The Call for Papers deadline is January 3, 2009. Undergraduates are encouraged to present papers on all topics. Abstracts must be submitted so that similar topics can be grouped into sessions. Forward abstracts to: Cliff Baum at cliff.baum@uleth.ca

Further details will follow as they become available.

Thank you for your time and patience.

Sincerely,

Cliff Baum

Student Talk this Friday!

Hi all:

Mark your calendars for this Friday afternoon- our own Justin Dallmann will be presenting a paper at 2:30 pm. Room details still need to be confirmed, but the talk will most likely be in one of the larger rooms on the 2nd floor of University College.

Justin's paper is called "Getting your Ravens in a Row: Generalizing the Paradox of Confirmation."

Ice-cold, delicious fruit juices to follow in the student rooms downstairs.

Philosophy Club Fridays

Just to remind anyone who is interested, any Friday throughout the fall and winter terms that does not have a visiting or departmental speaker scheduled is available for student presentations. Dan had a great idea about scheduling undergrad or grad philosophy debates on some of these Fridays, and I know that some grads and undergrads have expressed interest in giving a paper.

There's really no restriction on what these Fridays are for, so if you have an idea and would like to schedule something, just let me know- or better yet, post about it here on the blog. Dan, Wes and I can arrange the room, publicity and refreshments.

Thanks!

Grad Conferences

I know a lot of you have excellent papers sitting around. It would not hurt to submit them to these conferences. The conferences are an excellent way for you to meet other students that share your interests, get acquainted with a potential PhD program, meet important philosophers, improve your cv, and grow as a philosopher! So please submit if you have something that meets the submission guidelines. And if you don't have something that meets the guidelines, you'll need something like that sooner or later anyway.

Department Council Student Committees

Hey all.

Laurie has asked me to organize the student component of the department council. There are five committees requiring student representation: Appeals, Vetting, Enrollment, Visiting Speakers, Undergrad Courses/Program Changes.

The final committee requires two student representatives, for a total of six. Three of these need to be graduate students, and three undergrad. The president and vice president of the philosophy club fill two of these. Anyone who served on a committee last year is more than welcome to continue, since no student committee met last year.

There's a short meeting this Friday at 2:30, in the University College PDR. If you'd like to participate, could you please respond to this post.

Thanks a lot.

Please let me know what the philosophy club decides to do re: talks.

First Philosophical Friday Talk

Scott Forschler was kind enough to make his paper, "Morality as a System of Conditional Norms", available before the talk. If you'd like a copy, please email me.

First Philosophy Friday of the Term!

We will have a speaker this Friday: Dr. Scott Forschler from Northland Community and Technical College will give a talk entitled "Morality as a System of Conditional Norms". It's Friday Sept 19 in 237 UC at 2:30. A reception will follow, then dinner. We have a limited number of slots for student meals. If you're interested in going to dinner with Scott for free, please email me.

WCPA

Who's going to the WCPA?

Winter Seminar

My winter honours/grad seminar is currently listed as TBA. Well, I can finally end the suspense. The topic is Contemporary European Philosophy: From Hegel to Habermas. We'll look at a number of continental figures, including Freud, Marx, Adorno, Foucault and Habermas. We're going to do some big thinking about life and death and human society but also get down in the weeds and analyse arguments. It's going to be fun. Anyone who wants more information or needs permission to enroll, contact me.

Question, Question

1. Are John and Adam still the president and vice president of the Philosophy Club?

2. Is there any timetable for the upcoming term's Philosophical Fridays?

I'd like to present, of course, so I need to know who to be asking...

Thanks.

Next week on Tuesday/Wednesday, Feb. 19-20 from 9:00-2:00...location - Marshall McLuhan Hall, 2nd Floor, University Centre.

Resuming Phil Fridays

Hello all,

Since the hiring is at least temporarily over, it seems like a good time to resume the Phil Fridays sponsored by the Philosophy Club, beginning next Friday. (Although spring break is the week after, so the next one won't be until two weeks after that.)

People who haven't given talks yet this year (Adam, Binhan, Chelsey, Jason C, Justins D and W, etc etc - we'll call these people 'Future Talkers') are given priority over those who have. Future Talkers need to become Past Talkers as soon as possible. If you are a member of the set containing Future Talkers, and you can give a talk as quickly as next Friday, please respond before Monday morning.

I think Wes has already volunteered to give another talk. So, Wes, if no Future Talkers volunteer before Monday morning, perhaps you'd be willing to give a talk?

As for snacks and such afterwards: we sorta ran out of beer money due to the great success of Fall Term Phil Fridays. So we're going to start a beer fund for the remaining Fridays. If you can, pitch in for beer money and bring something like five bucks to Phil Fridays. Usually beer and chips comes to $50 for every Phil Friday, so we only need ten people giving 5 bucks. If you're feeling generous and want to give more than five bucks, that's cool too. Or if you want to donate the whole $50 and sponsor beer for a talk, that'd be even better.

ANOTHER LUNCH OPPORTUNITY!?!?!?!?!

Hello all. Our next job candidate, Madeleine Arsenault, is here on Monday. As usual, there's lunch before the talk. Also as usual, lunch will be at Degree's. Be among the first three responders and you'll get a free lunch. (Even if the spots are taken, all students are encouraged and invited to come out and meet the candidate. It's just that you'll have to shell out for yourselves.) We'll meet upstairs around Laurie's office at around 12:20.

Rob's seminar on monday.

Just to let people know, if you don't already, Rob's seminar on monday will be from 4:00-5:30 instead of the usual 2:30-5:30. He said to pass the word on, but i haven't seen any people from the seminar since he mentioned this... so i decided blogging would be a good bet.
