LPCS Student Symposium: deadline this Friday
The Department of Languages, Philosophy, and communication Studies hosts a student symposium each spring. This year the symposium will be the afternoon of April 21st. The idea is to provide a forum for students to present their ideas and research to a broader audience. You might want to present an idea on your own, or with a group in the form of a panel discussion, or with a group in the form of a roundtable discussion. Each kind of presentation (solo, panel, roundtable) should be conceived as taking 20 minutes or so. If you or a group of you is interested, you should send a 200-word abstract (just a short description of what you’re doing, along with a title) to christa.jones (at) usu.edu. The deadline for abstracts is this Friday, March 17th.
FLASH! Philosophy next Tuesday
It’s time for another Flash! Philosophy event. This is when students present some tasy morsel of an idea – it could be something funny or serious, original or heard/read somewhere else, whatever or whatever. It’s mainly a chance for students (and faculty) to have fun discussing ideas. If you’re interested in presenting something – and you should be! – send Huenemann a note at charlie.huenemann@usu.edu.
