Compass 2023: Call for Applications

We are having our yearly Compass workshop in April and we are accepting applications from undergraduate students! Please share this opportunity to those who might be interested.

Compass is a philosophy workshop for undergraduate students from historically underrepresented backgrounds in the field. Our workshop will be held at the University of Texas at Austin the weekend of April 14 and 15. Transportation, lodging, and food are covered for the duration of the workshop. Applications are open to undergraduate students in philosophy and in related fields. Our theme will be Feminist Philosophy of Law. We will discuss essays about incarceration systems, motherhood as a legal category, and the intersection of sex and race in the law. 

I am attaching a poster with more information about the application. Please forward this opportunity to undergraduates studying philosophy or law at your school or department. If you are able, please print the attached poster to advertise in an appropriate location. If you or your students have any questions, you can reach out to atxcompass@gmail.com. The deadline to apply is February 28. Thank you so much for sharing this opportunity with your students. 

All the best,
