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]
