Dear Habermas: a Journal of Postmodern and Critical Thought Devoted to Academic Discourse on Peace and Justice 

According to the website below, "the Dear Habermas community provides sociological and philosophical discussions of peace and justice, the privileging of subjectivity, forgiveness in the interest of good faith public discourse, intertextuality and our role in the creation of texts, and narrative. We need the forums. We need to write for an audience, for in writing and publishing we clarify the intertextual struggles to make our voices heard above the orderly mask of the "administered" academy.  The site serves as a journal on postmodern and critical thought, with special focus on Habermas, defender of whatever can be rescued from the broken illusions of the Enlightenment. Perspectives include race, class, gender, and both postmodern and critical theory analyses of institutional and interpersonal relationships.: Website: http://www.csudh.edu/dearhabermas .

Dialectic: The Undergraduate Journal of the University of York 

Dialectic is now taking submissions for the Summer 2012 issue, on 'Pragmatism & Justification'. Papers will be accepted on any aspect of this theme.

The closer submissions are to this theme, the better their chance of being published. (The only qualification is that the papers must deal with pragmatism in the philosophical sense of the word; papers which deal with approaches to philosophical issues which could be termed 'pragmatic' in the ordinary sense of the term will, within reason, be treated as being off topic.) Articles are welcomed by both undergraduates and postgraduates. Submissions must be pitched for an undergraduate  audience. Knowledge of the topic and philosophical terminology should never be assumed and should always be clearly explained. Though discussions of technical issues in these areas isn't discouraged, they will be penalised if they don't meet this criterion.

** The Brian Michael Goldberg Memorial Award **

The impact of research in Computational Modeling, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Formal Models of Learning, and Agent-based Simulations on the discipline of Philosophy has been profound. Contemporary discussions of epistemology, ethics, theory of mind, and philosophy of language have all benefited from lively, interdisciplinary debates over the relation between computational and formal models, and traditional philosophical questions. These debates have found their way into scholarly publications and textbooks, as well as into a growing number of Masters and Ph.D. theses.  In order to recognize outstanding achievements by Graduate Students in this area of research and scholarship, the International Association for Computing and Philosophy is proud to offer the "Brian Michael Goldberg Memorial Award" for presentations in any category listed above. This Award, which carries a $500 USD stipend, will be presented each year at one of the North American Computing and Philosophy conferences. Nominees and applicants are welcome from around the world.  The department of philosophy at Carnegie Mellon is the sponsor of this award and will serve as the site for submissions. The department will establish an international committee to review applications and, in conjunction with NA-CAP, will announce the yearly winner. Each year's winner will be expected to make a presentation at a NA-CAP conference as part of the Award Ceremony. Submissions are due on the same date as the regular submission deadline for North American CAP Conferences (Feb 1st, 2009). A complete submission consists of the following: * Presentation (length should be appropriate for a one-hour presentation). * Presentation abstract, including your name and gradute program (200 words). * Email sent to mharrell@cmu.edu with the above two items as attachements. The Subject should be "Goldberg Award yourLastName". The Body should consist of your full name, graduate program, and a copy of the paper abstract.

Theme: “Living Philosophy: Experience and Transformation.” Director: Shannon Sullivan (Penn State), faculty: Mariana Ortega and Ladelle McWhorter.

** Charles Schmitt Prize in Intellectual History **

The prize is £500, £50 worth of Routledge books, and a year's free membership of ISIH (International Society for Intellectual History) with a subscription to Intellectual History Review. The paper awarded the prize will be published in Intellectual History Review.  Submissions will be accepted in any area of intellectual history, broadly construed, 1500 to the present, including  historiography of intellectual history.

The paper should be forwarded as an e-mail attachment to stephen.gaukroger@arts.usyd.edu.au and to s.clucas@bbk.ac.uk.

** Colorado Summer Seminar in Philosophy **

July 9 - 27, 2007, Boulder, Colorado. For the eighth summer running, CU/Boulder will hold a three-week intensive seminar for undergraduates considering graduate school in philosophy. This summer's topic is Philosophy of Science. The seminar is intended for outstanding undergraduates who are considering graduate school in philosophy. The aim is to introduce students to the atmosphere of a graduate-level seminar, giving them a chance to explore their philosophical abilities and interests before they commit to a graduate program. In addition to offering the experience of a graduate seminar, we hope participants will benefit from meeting other students with similar interests and from interacting with prominent faculty in the field. Seminars in previous summers have attracted students from all over the country and abroad. All kinds of schools have been represented, from prestigious to liberal arts colleges to major research universities. We especially encourage applications from students who do not have the opportunity to take high-level courses at their own institution, and from students coming from institutions with modest reputations in the philosophical community. We are aiming for a class size of 15. The course will be highly intensive, meeting five times a week for three weeks, for three hours a day. The readings will be dense and difficult, and students will be expected to participate extensively. Several papers will be required. Applicants should have done substantial work in philosophy, including exposure to contemporary analytic methods. Preference will be given to students who have not yet applied to graduate programs. Successful participants will receive three credit hours at the graduate level, which may be applied either to undergraduate or  to future graduate study. The topic of the Seminar changes every summer. In 2007, the Seminar's topic will be the philosophy of science. We will be looking at both historical and contemporary texts, and discussing a wide range of issues where philosophy and science intersect, such as: *Problems of induction *Historical vs. predictive sciences *The nature of space and time *Laws of nature *Interpretations of quantum mechanics *Science and values.  Participating Faculty: The seminar will be jointly taught by the faculty of the Department of Philosophy, along with several distinguished visitors. Scheduled instructors include: Carol Cleland (Brown, Ph.D. 1981), Michael Huemer (Rutgers, Ph.D. 1998), Mitzi Lee (Harvard, Ph.D. 1994), Bradley Monton (Princeton, Ph.D. 1999), Graham Oddie (London, Ph.D. 1979), Robert Pasnau (Cornell, Ph.D. 1994), Robert Rupert (Illinois-Chicago, Ph.D. 1996), Michael Tooley (Princeton, Ph.D. 1968). Visiting faculty: Isabelle Peschard (University of Twente, Netherlands), Bas van Fraassen (Princeton University).  The seminar will take place on the campus of the University of Colorado at Boulder. Located at the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains, 25 miles northwest of Denver, Boulder is perhaps the most attractive college setting in the country. Participants will be encouraged to explore the city of Boulder and the nearby mountains. Weekend outings will be organized. Tuition: $650; housing: approximately $400. Applicants should collect the following: 1. A cover letter including your name, mailing address, email address, and an account of who you are and why you are interested in the program. 2. A letter of recommendation from  someone who has taught you philosophy. 3. A copy of your college transcript. (Unofficial copies are fine.) Mail this information to : Summer Seminar, Department of Philosophy, University of Colorado, 232 UCB, Boulder, CO  80309-0232. To receive full consideration, applications must be received by April 1st. Decisions will be made within a month.
