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.
