Are you majoring or minoring in philosophy? Or even just enjoy philosophy? If so, now is your chance to meet other aspiring and accomplished philosophers from all over the world at the Australasian Association of Philosophy’s annual conference! This year, the AAP conference will be held at Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. The UOW Philosophy Forum is looking to subsidise 5 enthusiastic philosophy students to help them attend one of the most prestigious philosophy conferences in the world. Not only will you be able to attend the conference, but you’re also free to take the opportunity to see some of New Zealand as well!
The event lasts 5 days, from the 8th of July to the 12th. There will be talks aimed at all levels of philosophy, from undergraduate students to professional academics. There will also be time available for socialising and networking.
