Feel free to ask you professors and current UTFs what the job involves.

Good luck!

Abstract: Children are too often regarded as “not-yet-persons, “silenced, underestimated, and even treated as possessions. Yet across the world, they also appear in strikingly different roles: as soldiers, as workers, and as advocates for peace and social justice. This talk examines the prejudice of “childism” and the risks we take when we fail to recognize children’s place in the global community. Their voices matter, in philosophy, in shaping social and political life, and in offering models for the future we are building together.

The University of Utah philosophy graduate students are excited to open submissions for our 2025 conference, which will be held in-person on November 8th. We welcome submissions from all areas of philosophy but are particularly interested in topics that match the interests of our current graduate students.

Some of these areas are philosophy of science, aesthetics, political philosophy, social epistemology, formal epistemology, applied philosophy broadly construed, and ethics.

Keynote Speaker: C. Thi Nguyen (The University of Utah)
