GPPC Undergraduate Philosophy Journal
The Greater Philadelphia Philosophy Consortium proudly announces the creation of:
Friday, 29 November 2013
The editorial board of this online journal will be comprised of students and will be advised by a faculty member from one of the GPPC institutions.
Editorial Board: Students from GPPC schools who are interested in serving on the editorial board should send a brief (i.e., 3-10 pages) philosophical writing sample to M.G. Piety: mgpiety@drexel.edu. GPPC faculty members will select the editorial board based on these writing samples and material from the writing samples of the students on the editorial board will be included in the first issue.
General Submissions: Students from any GPPC institution, as well as students from across the country, are invited to submit short philosophical musings on topics of their choice for inclusion in the first issue of the GPPC online undergraduate journal.
We encourage students to submit papers they have completed for philosophy classes, but they are also welcome to submit original material. We are particularly interested in short pieces (i.e., 1-10 pages in length) because the format we envision for the journal lie between a blog and a traditional academic journal.
Deadline: All submissions must be received by 29 November 2013.
Please direct any questions to M.G. Piety.
