PIKSI 2009 GRADUATE ASSISTANT CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Tuesday, 20 January 2009 20:09
Cynthia Scheopner
The fourth annual meeting of Philosophy in an Inclusive Key Summer Institute (PIKSI) will take place from July 26 August 2, 2009, 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 PIKSI ¹09 Institute. 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 (SUNY), Villanova University, Michigan State University, and University of Colorado at Boulder generously supported PIKSI graduate assistants in 2006, 2007, and 2008.)
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 student¹s accomplishments as a researcher, a teacher, and mentor; the relevance of her or his research to the topics of the institute; and the home institution¹s 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 student¹s 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 March1, 2009. If you have any further questions please contact Eva Feder Kittay, PIKSI Board Chair, at
