Students will develop an article for publication in an undergraduate journal. They will research and articulate a problem in the philosophical literature; articulate their own interpretations, analysis, and evaluations of primary and secondary texts; compose a conference-length paper and present it to peers and faculty; and then develop that idea into an article-length paper revised and polished for publication.
