Calling all Philosophy undergraduates,

I am writing on behalf of the King’s College London Philosophy Society, we are currently seeking undergraduate papers to be read at our Undergraduate Research Conference in April 2012. We would be very grateful if you would circulate this email around your unversity’s Philosophy Department.

Submission deadline:
Sunday 15th January

Submission instructions:
Please include your full name and the name of the university you are studying at
A short abstract of your paper (250 words maximum)
Papers should be 2500-5000 words
You should be happy to present your paper in 30 minutes and be able to answer questions afterwards

Please direct your questions and submissions to kclphilsoc@gmail.com.

The provision date of the conference is 6th-7th April. This means that anyone offering a submission should be avaliable on these dates to present their paper. Tickets for the conference will be free and we are aiming to provide free accomodation for students who are presenting their paper (please note that this will most likely be on a fellow student’s sofa), unless you wish to make alternative arrangements.

I think that this will be a great opportunity to meet fellow Philosophy undergraduates from all around the UK and I am looking forward to recieving your papers.

All the best,
Hannah K

12:00pm until 2:00pm

Dear All,

One of my favourite things about Christmas is having a get together over a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie. As such we have organised a room in the department where the philosophy ‘families’ can get together. Some of you have met your ‘children’ and ‘paren…ts’ already, some may not have. Either way come along and have a glass (or probably a plastic cup) full of mulled wine, munch on a mince pie, and have a natter with other philosophy people.

Please let us know that you are coming by confirming on fb or emailing gemma.eccott@kcl.ac.uk so that we know how much wine/mince pies to get.

As usual this event is free for Philosophy Society members or £1 if you have not signed up yet.

Best,

KCL Phil Soc
