Project Proposal: Preparing Future Philosophers through Conference Participation
Submitted on behalf of the North American Society for Social Philosophy (NASSP) by:
Professor Margaret Crouch, Eastern Michigan University (NASSP President) Professor Nancy E. Snow, Marquette University (NASSP Archivist)
Abstract: Each year, the NASSP hosts a conference. Conferences are traditionally collegial and diverse in the sense of welcoming a variety of philosophical, legal, and social perspectives, and in the sense of encouraging and receiving participation from women and members of ethnic and racial minorities. International participants also regularly attend the conferences. As a result of this collegiality and diversity, our conferences attract large numbers of graduate student presenters, many of whom are women, and some of whom are minorities. The NASSP annually awards modest monetary prizes through a competition to graduate students who submit the best essays for conference presentation as judged by an awards committee of professional philosophers. Even graduate students who are not awarded prizes subsequently submit their conference papers to the NASSP’s peer-reviewed series, Social Philosophy Today. With funding from this APA grant, the NASSP seeks to extend and formalize its mentoring for the 2012 NASSP conference. We request a total of $5000, with $2500 to go to two keynote speakers in the areas of social and/or political philosophy, and $2500 to be distributed among graduate student recipients. The stipends will entitle these students to attend two special workshops on publications and presentation skills to be conducted by each keynote speaker. Keynote speakers will be experts in the areas of social and/or political philosophy.
Project Purpose and Benefits to the Profession: The purpose of the project is to extend mentoring activities currently practiced by the NASSP. In recent years, graduate student participation at NASSP conferences has been on the rise. We attribute this increase both to the collegiality of our annual conferences, as well as to the fact that we offer modest prizes for the best graduate student submissions. Several years ago, NASSP member Carol Gould, editor-in-chief of The Journal of Social Philosophy, gave a very well attended session (approximately 40 participants) on submitting essays for journal publication. We seek to extend our mentoring efforts by asking each of our two keynote speakers for the 2012 conference (to be held at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts) to conduct special workshops for graduate students on publications and presentation skills. We intend these sessions to hone the skills of graduate student conference participants in a collegial atmosphere, thereby helping to prepare them for the rigors of a tight job market. We thus plan to benefit the profession in an innovative way by mentoring graduate students through conference participation.
Groundwork: As mentioned, the NASSP has laid groundwork for this project. We routinely invite two keynote speakers in some area of social and/or political philosophy to our conferences, and have good graduate student participation. Moreover, we encourage graduate student submissions to the conference by awarding prizes for the best essays. Finally, we offer all conference participants the option of submitting their papers for publication in Social Philosophy Today. In short, we have an infrastructure into which the present plan for more intensive mentoring can easily be integrated.
1
Plan and Timeline: The call for papers for the 2012 conference will go out in the fall of 2011. Along with that call, we plan to announce the APA-sponsored mentoring program. Graduate students who wish to participate will be asked to submit their essays for consideration to the Graduate Student Awards Committee, who will select 10 graduate students to receive stipends of $250 each (totaling $2500). These students will be entitled to participate in two workshops, each of which will be conducted by an NASSP keynote speaker on publications and presentation skills. Each keynote speaker will receive $1250 for giving one conference keynote address and conducting one workshop (totaling $2500 for both speakers). We expect the workshops to be conducted at our annual conference during July, 2012 (exact dates to be determined).
Project Budget: Total amount requested: $5000.00. All funds should be payable to program participants at the time of conference in July 2012.
Keynote speaker 1: $700 -- keynote lecture $550 -- workshop on publications or presentation skills
Keynote speaker 2: $700 -- keynote lecture $550 -- workshop on publications or presentation skills
Total amount requested from APA for keynote conference participation: $2500 @ $1250/keynote speaker
Total amount requested from APA for graduate student stipends: $2500 to fund 10 graduate students @ $250/student. This stipend will entitle these students to attend 2 special workshops on publications and presentation skills to be conducted by each keynote speaker. Graduate students will submit their papers to the graduate student awards committee to be selected for participation in this program.
Fiscal Agent: Professor Kevin Graham, Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska, and Treasurer of the NASSP.
No other funding has been sought or obtained.
Project Assessment: The project will be assessed at three points: (1) and (2) evaluation forms will be distributed to graduate student participants at the conclusion of each workshop; and (3) evaluation forms will be e-mailed to participants 6-12 months after the workshop, in an attempt to assess long- term benefits (i.e., publications acceptances, improvements in presentation skills) that might have been influenced by knowledge/skills gained at the workshops. The NASSP will use feedback from these assessment tools to evaluate what worked and what didn’t, initiate improvements, etc.
Dissemination: Since the project is designed for professional improvement only, it will not be advertised to the larger public. The NASSP will advertise it in its annual call for papers which appears in The Journal of Social Philosophy, in the NASSP fall 2011 newsletter that is sent to all NASSP members, on its own NASSP website, on the FEAST (Feminist Ethics and Social Philosophy listserve), and on the APA website (if possible).

No new website will be created. No new website will be created. Instead, the present NASSP website will be used to publicize the project.
Accessibility of workshops: The NASSP will collaborate with Northeastern University, the site of the 2012 conference, to provide workshop access for disabled persons, including deaf, blind, and hearing- and vision-impaired individuals.
