PIKSI 2010 GRADUATE ASSISTANTS
SECOND CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
DEADLINE MARCH 10, 2010
The fifth annual meeting of Philosophy in an Inclusive Key Summer
Institute (PIKSI) will take place from July 25 -- August 1, 2010, at the
Rock Ethics Institute on the campus of Penn State University in State
College, PA. At least two graduate students will assist Ladelle
McWhorter, who will direct the Institute for the first time. In
addition, one graduate assistant will come from the Penn State
philosophy department. We expect that, as was the case in previous
summers, the home institution of the other graduate assistants will fund
their positions. (The philosophy departments of the University of
Memphis, Binghamton University, Villanova University, Michigan State
University, University of Colorado at Boulder, Stony Brook University,
and Dalhousie generously supported PIKSI graduate assistants in 2006,
2007, 2008, and 2009.)
We invite those of you teaching in graduate programs to nominate
graduate student assistants for PIKSI. The applications will be screened
according to the graduate student's accomplishments as a researcher, a
teacher, and mentor; the relevance of her or his research to the topics
of the institute; and the home institution's willingness to fund the
student (approximately $2000, including travel, housing, and stipend).
Applications should include a cover letter from the graduate student in
which they discuss why they would like to be a graduate assistant for
PIKSI, the graduate student's CV, a letter of support from a faculty
member, and documentation of institutional support, if available. Please
email complete applications to Ladelle McWhorter, Philosophy Department,
University of Richmond, 28 Westhampton Way, Richmond, VA 23173, by
March10, 2010.
If you have any further questions please contact Eva Feder Kittay, PIKSI
Board Chair, at [log in to unmask] or Ladelle McWhorter, Director
of PIKSI Summer 2010, at [log in to unmask]
