Details

After a pause due to the pandemic, the DePauw University philosophy department is pleased to announce that we will resume the Young Philosophers Lecture Series. The department will invite 3 young philosophers (persons who have received their Ph.D. in philosophy within the past six years) to give in-person campus talks during the fall and spring of the 2022-23 academic year. 

When on campus each young philosopher will give an undergraduate-friendly presentation of their paper. Young philosophers will also have the chance to workshop their research papers with other philosophers in a virtual setting. Participants in the workshop will be the other young philosophers, philosophers who referee submissions, and members of the DePauw philosophy department.

The deadline for submissions is April 15, 2022. Selected speakers will have their travel (within North America) and lodging covered and will receive 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 last 6 years. We will also consider submissions from exceptional graduate students who reasonably expect to defend by the Spring or Summer at the end of the 2022-23 academic year.
