The Association for Feminist Ethics and Social Theory at Penn State is designed to encourage undergraduate students from under-represented groups to consider future study in the field of philosophy. This institute will emphasize the on-going project of greater inclusiveness that is transforming the discipline, inviting students to be participants in the conversation. Along with works in feminist, critical race, disability, and queer theory, students will read historical and contemporary philosophical texts that explore recurring human concerns and investigate the ways in which experience informs philosophical reflection. In addition, writing assignments, visiting lecturers, and mentoring will help students learn that their own perspectives matter to philosophy.
All students will receive a stipend, free transportation, and lodging.For more details, visit http://rockethics.psu.edu/piksi
