List

More Help For Young Philosophers

 January 7, 2008 |  Andy |  Uncategorized

UC-Boulder is hosting the first annual Rocky Mountain Ethics Congress, and they have a Young Ethicist Prize. This is exciting.

There are now five prizes/programs I am aware of geared toward encouraging young philosophers. Let me know if there are more. Here’s the list I have so far.

  1. A Young Epistemologist Prize (Rutgers)
  2. A Younger Scholar Prize in Metaphysics (Oxford Studies in Metaphysics)
  3. A Young Ethicist Prize (UC-Boulder)
  4. The Philosophical Review had a Young Philosopher Prize a couple years ago (but I don’t think they do this annually)
  5. A Young Philosophers Lecture Series and Podcast (SUNY-Fredonia)

Let me know if there is anything more for Young Philosophers to be aware of.

(p.s. Don’t forget that Young Philosophers Lecture Series submissions are due January 20th)
