This summer institute is committed to elevating and broadening inclusion in philosophy by creating opportunities for those who may not otherwise have access to similar programming and mentorship, empowering them to pursue advanced studies in philosophy and continue on to the professoriate. Undergraduates and recent graduates are encouraged to apply and stipends will be provided to all Alain Locke Fellows. All applicants will be considered equitably regardless of race, ethnicity, or national origin.
Visiting Faculty
“Each student in our cohort had a unique array of both philosophical and personal interests that always had me fully engrossed in every conversation,” she says. “During and outside of our scheduled seminars, new ideas were constantly being sprung and stronger bonds between us were being built...PIKSI showed me in real time how philosophers from all kinds of backgrounds can collaborate and learn from each other, not only within the realm of philosophy, but as young professionals and academics moving towards their future.” - Dee Everett, Alain Locke Fellow, 2023.
