Call For Papers: 7th Annual Undergraduate Symposium

Seventh Annual DePauw Undergraduate Ethics Symposium

Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics, DePauw University

Greencastle, Indiana

On April 10 - 12, 2014, The Janet Prindle Institute for Ethics will host the seventh annual DePauw Undergraduate Ethics Symposium, designed to encourage undergraduate scholarship and artistic work. The conference is shaped around a series of workshops in which student scholars, creative writers, filmmakers and photographers present their best work on a subject of ethical concern. This year the theme of the Symposium is "Virtue and Victory: Ethical Challenges in Competitive Life," but we welcome submissions on all issues of ethical concern.

This is an honors symposium, and all submissions will be read by a panel of DePauw faculty members. Those students whose works are received by the February 1, 2014, deadline and accepted for inclusion in the conference will have their expenses paid for travel (up to $400), lodging and food. The group will be relatively small. We prefer to have 20 to 30 students from a variety of colleges and universities to keep the seminar groups at seven to ten students each.

The students whose works are accepted for the symposium will benefit from the discussion of their ethics-related work by leading scholars and professionals in their fields and from their peers. Our goal is that each student who participates in the Symposium will have a polished piece of work which s/he can submit in a portfolio, a graduate school application, or a job application.

Please share this information with interested colleagues and encourage students to submit their work. If you would like further information about this year's symposium, please visit our website (http://www.depauw.edu/academics/centers/prindle/ues/2014/).
