Applications are invited for the MA and PhD programs in Philosophy at University at Albany, State University of New York.
We
will fund three incoming PhD students next year with first year
fellowships and teaching assistantships in subsequent years. Eligible
students entering the MA or PhD program are also encouraged to apply for
Albany's Carson Carr Graduate Diversity Fellowship.
The
Philosophy department at UAlbany has special strength in Global Justice
& Human Rights, with faculty including Jon Mandle, Kristen Hessler,
and Ariel Zylberman (starting 2018). There are also faculty working in
related areas of applied ethics, including Jason D'Cruz and Monika
Piotrowska.
The
department also has faculty working in the history of philosophy,
philosophy of science, philosophy of logic, philosophy of art, and other
areas.
Our
graduate students do research on a range of topics. Recent PhD graduates
wrote their theses on the self in Hume's Treatise, the Precautionary
Principle in policy-making, a virtue ethics analysis of abortion,
perception in Plato and the Sophists, philosophy of mind in relation to
autism spectrum disorders, the moral status of macabre fascination in
horror fiction, and the concept of human dignity in bioethics.
