Student Applications are Now Open!<br>

<div align="left"><font face="Garamond">Do you love studying
philosophy? Would you like to spend two weeks this summer with
creative philosophy teachers and enthusiastic students? The
Hamilton College Summer Program in Philosophy (HCSPiP) may be
for you! <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://academics.hamilton.edu/philosophysummerschool">The
Hamilton College Summer Program in Philosophy</a> (HCSPiP)
may be for you! The HCSPiP is designed for twenty excellent
undergraduate students seeking an exciting and collegial
two-week experience studying philosophy with other ambitious
students. Three concurrent courses, chosen for their
innovative pedagogies, will be offered, June 24–July 5, 2019.<br>
</font>
<ul>
<li><font face="Garamond">“Aftermath and Backlash: Challenging
Conversations about Race- and Gender-Based Violence,”</font><font
face="Garamond"> taught by Ann Cahill, Elon University</font></li>
<li><font face="Garamond">“Philosophical Methods of Socrates,
Aquinas, and Confucius,” taught by Eric Yang, Santa Clara</font><font
face="Garamond"> University</font></li>
<li><font face="Garamond">“Existentialism Lived,” taught by
Daniel Collette, Marquette University</font></li>
</ul>
<font face="Garamond">Unlike other philosophy summer programs,
the HCSPiP was not created mainly to prepare students for
graduate work. Our program is designed to explore new ways to
teach and learn philosophy. Instructors are committed to
active, student-centered learning and the classes may not feel
like ones to which you may have become accustomed! Students in
the HCSPiP will attend all three classes every day, Monday
through Friday, and are expected to prepare for those classes,
both before the program and during the two weeks they are on
campus. To participate actively and take advantage of the
opportunity, students must have exceptional intrinsic
motivation for philosophical work. No college credit is
awarded.<br>
<br>
In addition to the three courses, the HCSPiP is arranging for
at least one visiting speaker, a day trip to the Adirondacks,
and a July 4 celebration. There is no tuition for the summer
school. Room and board at Hamilton College will be provided.
In addition, students who attend the summer school will
receive a $750 stipend, plus up to $500 reimbursement for
travel. The program is supported by the Truax Fund for
Philosophy at Hamilton College.<br>
</font><font face="Garamond"> <br>
To apply for the HCSPiP, send a letter of interest in the
program, no more than 2000 words to Professor Russell Marcus,

href="mailto:rmarcus1@hamilton.edu" moz-do-not-send="true">rmarcus1@hamilton.edu</a>
by January 28, 2010. Your letter of interest should contain
the following information:<br>
</font>
<ul>
<li><font face="Garamond">Your name, the name of your
undergraduate institution, and your expected date of
graduation</font></li>
<li><font face="Garamond">A list of all undergraduate
philosophy courses taken</font></li>
<li><font face="Garamond">The name of an instructor

HCSPiP?</font></li>
<li><font face="Garamond">How might you contribute to the

</ul>
<font face="Garamond"> In addition to your letter of
