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.
