THE WEST CHESTER UNIVERSITY PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY PRESENTS:


Student Presentation Series

The Philosophy Club coordinates the presentation of student papers and discussions throughout the semester.  This is a great opportunity for grads and undergrads from any department to present their work of a philosophical nature.  The Series provides a forum not only for students to practice speaking in public, but also to benefit from the constructive comments of fellow students. 

Interested in presenting, building up your CV?  Are you writing a paper for a class and would like an opportunity to see what others think about it?  Or, are you interested in hearing what other WCU students are thinking and writing about?  Please contact wcuphilosophicalsociety@gmail.com.

Typically, the students will talk about or read a working paper or a finished paper.  Q&A normally follows, although the presenter may opt for a seminar atmosphere. Beverages will be served. All are invited to attend.

Usually two to three presentations are offer each semester. The Society is currently seeking student presenters (graduate or undergraduate) to fill this slots.  Proposals on any topic in philosophy will be considered. I f you would like to present your ideas (and we encourage you to do so), please contact wcuphilosophicalsociety@gmail.com.
