CFP: Young Philosophers Lecture Series

Young Philosophers Podcast Lecture Series
In the coming academic year, SUNY Fredonia philosophy department will invite young philosophers (persons who have recently received their Ph.D. in philosophy) to give campus talks. Each young philosopher we invite will deliver one research presentation and one introductory-style presentation geared toward an audience with absolutely no background in philosophy.

We’re now accepting submissions for Spring 2012. You only need to submit your research paper. If your paper is selected, we’ll contact you for information concerning your intro talk. Selected speaker will receive a travel stipend and a small honorarium.

What is a Young Philosopher?
Your age is irrelevant to whether or not you are a young philosopher. By “young philosopher” we mean someone who has received their Ph.D. in philosophy within the last6 years. We will also consider submissions from exceptional graduate students who reasonably expect to defend this Spring or Summer.

Honorarium and Travel: Selected participants will be given a small travel stipend and honorarium.

Speaker Dates: To Be Determined After Paper Selection, but we would like to bring out four speakers during the 2012-2013 academic year.
