Call for Masterclass Organisers 2010

By Geoffrey FerrariTue, 10/06/2009 - 10:00am

The BPPA warmly invites applications from postgrad philosophers to host our annual conference (the BPPC) and our Masterclass workshops in 2010. We hold two Masterclasses each year, so we are currently looking for a team to organise masterclasses in Autumn 2010 and Spring 2011. No experience is needed to apply to host our masterclasses as the main function of the BPPA is to pass on our organisational know-how from year to year. We're just looking for enthusiastic people that we can work with to provide great postgrad philosophy events!
