Outreach & Engagement Award Submission Deadline Tomorrow!
Call for Submissions
Updated Deadline: Sep 30, 2021
We are pleased to invite submissions for the inaugural PSA Outreach and Engagement Award, which recognizes a scholar or team of scholars who have led outstanding efforts to engage the general public in philosophy of science topics. The scope of outreach and engagement that may be recognized by this award is wide, but its purpose is to highlight, promote, and elevate professional efforts to engage the general public about philosophy of science. See more details or submit.
We can't wait to have you at our PSA 2020/2021 Biennial, but putting on such an event is no small feat. Help us make things run more smoothly by working a volunteer shift. In exchange for working a volunteer shift, we will waive your registration fee.
Limited shifts are available both for in-person and remote volunteers.
NOTE: This opportunity is open to graduate students only.
Deadline for Applications: 15 October 2021 (11:59 pm EDT)

Navigating the world in the pandemic era has provided plenty of new challenges and educational opportunities. If you would like to learn more about philosophy and the coronavirus, we invite you to explore our new resource page: Teaching in the Time of COVID on the PSA website. If you would like to share an interesting source in the form of a syllabus, article, video, or podcast, for example, we invite you to submit it. The page will be updated weekly with new materials that are useful for professors teaching philosophy and COVID in the classroom or for whomever is trying to think philosophically about the pandemic.
