clarity or rigor. They are evaluated on the following criteria: depth of inquiry, quality of
research/academic rigor, creativity, lucidity, struggle, significance, and, most importantly, originality.

Call for Papers Eastern Michigan University’s 13th Annual Undergraduate Conference in Philosophy March 18th and 19th, 2023

The Eastern Michigan University Undergraduate Conference in Philosophy is now accepting papers for its conference to be held on Saturday and Sunday, March 18th and 19th, 2023. Papers selected for presentation will be allotted 20-minute presentation times, followed by formal comments and Q & A. All papers in philosophy, broadly construed, will be considered for the conference; since this is an undergraduate conference, no papers by professionals, graduate students, or others holding an advanced degree (in philosophy) will be considered.

(NB: Our intention is to hold an in-person conference. The local public health context nearing the time of the conference are relevant, and we are equipped for a fully online version should that be prudent.)

Papers submitted for the conference should be 8-12 pages (2200-3600 words) in length and include an abstract of approximately 250 words.

The deadline for submission is Friday, January 6th, 2023, and only completed papers accompanied by an abstract will be reviewed. We expect to announce the papers selected for presentation by the beginning of February.

We will also be using a formal commenter system; so, even if your paper is not selected for presentation, you may be considered for such a role. Please let us know, along with your paper submission, if you are willing to comment. This also means that all selected papers will receive formal feedback at the conference. Keynote: Brynn Welch of The University of Alabama at Birmingham

Faculty Mentors: We strongly encourage students to invite faculty mentors to the conference. The dialog among professors, discussion of pedagogy, and expansion of mentoring opportunities for students, are among the desirable benefits of this conference. Additionally, faculty have played an important role in the success of the conference. Submit abstracts electronically to this Google Form. Papers should be submitted following the instructions on the Google form.

Questions? Conference organizers can be reached by email at emuucip@gmail.com.

Faculty Supervisor: Dr. W. John Koolage

The Summer Workshop provides a space for undergraduate students interested in journalism, criticism, politics, art, and nonprofit work to learn about and practice engaging the public through dialogue and writing. The theme of this year’s workshop is “the future,” and its central questions are: How do we think about the future, especially when we cannot trust that it will be better than the present? What do we owe future generations? Students will learn to address such questions in conversation with various philosophical, political, and religious traditions, as well as with one another. For their final assignment, they will design a public-facing project to foster dialogue on their own college campuses.

The inaugural workshop will be taught by Point editors Jon Baskin and Anastasia Berg. All student expenses, including tuition, room, and board, will be covered. College credit will be offered. Applications due March 1, 2023.
