Third Annual CUNY Undergraduate Philosophy Conference
Friday, April 19, 2013, LaGuardia Community College, Long Island City, New York
The philosophy program, in coordination with the Philosophy Club, at LaGuardia Community College is pleased to announce the 3rd Annual CUNY Undergraduate Philosophy Conference. Keynote speaker Jaysankar Lal Shaw, from the Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand, will talk about distinctive features of Indian philosophy. Papers in any area of philosophy are welcome as long as the primary author is an undergraduate. Papers should be suitable for 15–20 minute presentations.
Additionally this year, poster presentations will be included in the conference. Undergraduate students from any college are invited to submit proposals for a poster board presentation that examines the intersection of philosophy with other disciplines. A final 200-word abstract of the presentation must be submitted prior to the date of the conference in order to be included within the 2013 issue of The Gadfly. Some poster boards may be available, so students do not need to purchase their own. Students will be provided space and time to display their poster boards during the day of the conference.
Papers and poster presentations connected with Asian philosophy are encouraged, but all papers and poster boards are welcome.
Selected papers and poster presentation abstracts from the conference will appear in The Gadfly, a publication of the Philosophy Club, both in print and online.
** The deadline for submissions has been extended to Friday, March 15. Please e-mail all submissions by that date. **
You can RSVP up to one week prior to the date of the conference (April 19) if you will be bringing a large group. However, this is not required, and we would be happy to have you attend regardless of RSVPs. We only ask that you RSVP so that we can get a sense of how many people will be attending so we can make sure there is enough food! Thus, everyone is welcome to attend!
If you have any questions, please contact lagccphilosophy@gmail.com or pdoctor@lagcc.cuny.edu.
