PIKSI/ ROCK 2016 CALL FOR GRADUATE ASSISTANTS
APPLICATIONS DUE March 7, 2016
PHILOSOPHY IN AN INCLUSIVE KEY SUMMER INSTITUTE at the Rock Ethics Institute, the Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA
Sponsored by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the APA
PIKSI summer institutes are designed to encourage undergraduates from underrepresented groups to consider future study of philosophy. Graduate Students from underrepresented groups such as women, African Americans, Chicano/as and Latino/as, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, LGBTs, economically disadvantaged communities, and people with disabilities are urged to apply to serve as Graduate Assistants.
The 11th annual meeting of Philosophy in an Inclusive Key Summer Institute (PIKSI) will take place from June 13 - June 22, 2016 (note Graduate Assistants arrive two days before the undergraduate program begins--on June 11--for an orientation and a graduate seminar) on the campus of the Pennsylvania State University in University Park, PA. Three graduate students will assist Serene Khader, who will direct the Institute this year. 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, Dalhousie, American University, DePaul University, University of Oregon, University of Alberta, and University of Michigan generously supported PIKSI graduate assistants in 2006–2014.)
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 which discusses why he or she would like to be a graduate assistant for PIKSI
• the graduate student’s CV
• a letter of support from a faculty member
• documentation of institutional support, if available
Please e-mail complete applications by March 7, 2016, to:
Serene Khader,
3315 Boylan Hall, Brooklyn College,
2900 Bedford Avenue,
Brooklyn, NY 11210
