CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline: Tuesday, 10 February 2012
Buffalo State College
7th Annual
Philosophy & Humanities Department Student Colloquium
SPRING 2012
Back by popular demand! As you’re working on papers this fall semester, please consider submitting your work to our colloquium. Don’t let the Latin scare you. A colloquium ([k&-'lO-kwE-&m]: plural -qui·ums or col·lo·quia) is a usually academic meeting at which specialists deliver addresses on a topic or on related topics and then answer questions relating to them.
Our aim:
- provide a forum for Buffalo State College students to present and discuss each other’s work, in a congenial and supportive environment
- prepare Buffalo State College students for submitting their work to various undergraduate conferences and/or journals
Additionally, participating in this sort of event looks impressive on graduate school applications, resumes, and letters of recommendation. So, dust off those old papers that you never quite finished or always wanted to get back to. Or feel free to try out new ideas as complete works or works-in-progress.
The motivation for this series is to provide a venue for friendly and focused discussions of your great ideas. And you do have GREAT ideas, which we are all eager to hear!
Buffalo State College students, please submit papers or abstracts of papers electronically as MS Word documents, or indicate your interest in being a commentator, to Jason Grinnell, Assistant Professor of Philosophy, Bishop Hall 229 grinnejd@buffalostate.edu
