PIKSI 2010 GRADUATE ASSISTANT
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
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 studentıs accomplishments as a researcher, a teacher, and
mentor; the relevance of her or his research to the topics of the institute;
and the home institutionıs 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 studentıs 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
