Introduction
Staff will introduce you to new research on an important issue in Philosophy today. Specific topics will vary according to availability of staff and contemporary issues in the discipline. You will prepare a journal length contribution on this topic and experience feedback of the sort you would receive if you were submitting it to an academic journal. You will present the central arguments for your conclusions in a class presentation which mimics the experience of presenting at an academic conference.
