Folks:
One of my students went to PIKSI this past summer and reported it as a
life-changing event (and one that opened the student's eyes to what the larger
environment in philosophy can be like, for good or for ill). I don't know
whether I will ever be able to see one of my students go again. But I do know I
want other people's students to do so.
This is important work.
Please support it.
Best,
Alison
