Greetings from the Annual Philosophy Conference @ NYU (AUPC @ NYU)! We sincerely invite you to join our virtual conference on May 22nd & 23rd. We hope you can share this invitation with your philosophy students.
Introducing the Annual Undergraduate Philosophy Conference 2021 at NYU
AUPC@NYU envisions not only offering a platform for undergraduate philosophy students to share their work and have thought-provoking discussions with their peers, but also fostering a supportive network among philosophy students. Along with paper discussion sessions, AUPC@NYU will also host guest speeches, graduate study panels, and networking events.
In the times of a global pandemic, we see the value of asking and exploring important questions. Witnessing the world looking to achieve a new equilibrium, we believe that fostering philosophical discussions is of unique value.
