Ball State University has started a new undergraduate journal of philosophy called Stance. If you are working on a paper this term, or have one from a previous semester that you think others should see, you should consider submitting it. I have put their call for papers over here, on the “Undergraduate Philosophy Conferences” page. Stance‘s own website is here.

Or, if you don’t feel quite ready to submit anything, Stance is also looking for external referees. This would mean receiving one or two submissions to the journal, reading through them, and offering your judgment upon their quality and whether they ought to be published. Contact Huenemann if you think you might be interested in doing this.

I’ve jotted down some thoughts here. Comments welcome!

2. PHILOSOPHY CLUB / PHI SIGMA TAU initial meeting: Thursday, 9/18, 7-7:20, Main 326. If you’d like to come and brainstorm over events to have over the coming year, please do. After a very brief meeting, we will go to the German film (see below).

3. GERMAN CLUB FILM: “The Counterfeiters,” an Academy-award winning film about moral dilemmas faced by concentration-camp laborers. Thursday, 9/18, Library 154, 7:30. Brief introduction by Professor Felix Tweraser.

Antonin Scalia will be lecturing here next Monday, September 15th, from 12 to 1 in the TSC Ballroom. This is a rare opportunity to hear a Supreme Court justice hold forth. His visit is part of a “Freedom and the Rule of Law” conference hosted by the PoliSci department. See the schedule of lectures here.
