List

Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a lecture series for young philosophers to get some experience and exposure? Wouldn’t it be cool if this lecture series was podcast in video and audio format so that the entire philosophical community could watch it? Wouldn’t it be cool if the young philosophers gave one talk on their research (for the advanced philosophers) and an introductory talk (for persons with no background in philosophy)?

I thought so. So, I pitched the idea to someone, and they gave me some money to get it started. Woo-Hoo!! Here’s the website I’ve started.

The Basic Idea

SUNY Fredonia’s philosophy department will bring two young philosophers to campus each semester. Each philosopher will give two talks. The first talk will be a research talk pitched to the philosophical community. The second talk will be a shorter talk that is accessible to a broad audience with no background in philosophy.

One of the primary aims is to serve young philosophers by giving them experience and massive exposure to the philosophical community. This should also serve the philosophical community by giving them easy access to the work of some of the best new up and coming philosophers. By having each philosopher also give an introductory talk, we will serve people who have a more casual interest in philosophy.

Lectures will be podcasted in video and audio at www.youngphilosophers.org.

Our budget is still relatively modest, but will will be able to offer a small honorarium.

Check out the website for the CALL FOR PAPERS. Contact Andrew Cullison for more information.
