Welcome, we are WWU's Philosophy Club

About the Club
WWU’s Philosophy Club has been a tradition since 1992 (about twenty years!) and it’s been awesome the whole time. On Wednesday evenings, students (and sometimes faculty) hang out and talk philosophy over pizza and drinks. As is tradition, we meet at Rudy’s Pizza in downtown Bellingham at 5:30. In addition to our weekly meeting, we hold various events throughout the year (see 'Events' below) - most notably, each year our top students organize our nationally recognized Northwest Student Philosophy Conference.
Events

Northwest Student Philosophy Conference
The Northwest Student Philosophy Conference (NWSPC) is organized by undergraduate students and aims to showcase the philosophical research of undergraduate, graduate and professional philosophers. In the last several years, we have been privileged to host Carrie Jenkins and Jonathan Ichikawa (2012) Kris McDaniel (2011), Ben Bradley (2010), Kit Fine (2009), Michael Rea (2009), Dean Zimmerman (2008) and Jonathan Schaffer (2007) as keynote and guest speakers.
This year, our conference takes place Memorial Day weekend, May 25-27. We are pleased to announce that Meghan Sullivan from the University of Notre Dame will be delivering the keynote address. All students – undergraduate, masters, graduate – are invited to submit papers. Entrance is fairly competitive as we have only 6-8 open slots for student presentations, but this should not discourage interested applicants. Papers can be on any philosophical topic, preferably no longer than 6,000 words. Submission deadline is April 28.
HOW TO SUBMIT PAPERS:
1. Prepare the paper for blind review
2. Provide an abstract (up to 300 words) between the title and main text of the paper
3. Send an e-copy as an attachment (either as word doc or pdf) to Ryan.Wasserman@wwu.edu
4. In the email to which the paper is attached, provide relevant contact information: Name / Institution / Email / Phone
