APA- Call for abstracts: GSC session at the 2020 APA Central Division meeting.

Dear DAVID,   The Graduate Student Council of the American Philosophical Association invites proposals for a session exploring the scholarship and voices surrounding common graduate student challenges, to be held at the 2020 APA Central Division meeting, February, 26–29, in Chicago, IL.   There are a number of challenges which are particularly pernicious for a majority of graduate students and early-career philosophers, such as impostor syndrome, establishing authority in the classroom, setting appropriate boundaries with students and advisers, balancing teaching with research and coursework, and feelings of isolation—just to name a few.   This session aims to facilitate productive and scholarly discussions around these issues as they relate to the experiences of graduate students. We welcome abstracts that tackle any of the listed challenges or any other challenges related to graduate study, professional life, and social life in philosophy. Preference will be given to proposals that either (a) demonstrate significant engagement with relevant scholarship on the topic, or (b) describe a clear question for facilitated discussion.   Graduate Student Council sessions are expected to be highly interactive. The 250- to 500-word proposal should indicate how audience members will participate in the session.   Please send abstracts for anonymized review to Danielle Clevenger at dclevenger@wisc.edu by September 30, 2019.   For more information about the Graduate Student Council of the APA, please visit our webpage.   Find us on Facebook or e-mail us at contact-gsc@apaonline.org.   Thanks,   Sahar Joakim Chair, APA Graduate Student Council
