Graduate Philosophy Organization (GPO)
The GPO plays a very important role in graduate student life and affairs in the department. All graduate students are strongly encouraged to take an active part in it, attending its meetings and participating in its activities.
Graduate Student Philosophy Conference
The longest-running conference of its kind in the country, based in the Department.
Minorities and Philosophy (MAP)
MAP’s mission is to address structural injustices in academic philosophy and to remove barriers that impede participation in academic philosophy for members of marginalized groups. Through our international organizing team and graduate student-led network of autonomous chapters around the world, we aim to examine and dismantle mechanisms that prevent students from marginalized groups from participating in academic philosophy, as well as to promote philosophical work done from marginalized perspectives, and help improve working conditions for scholars from marginalized backgrounds.
