Research in Philosophy
Faculty members conduct research in their various specialties. Overviews of research projects conducted by philosophy faculty can be found on the faculty homepages, reachable from the Faculty and Staff page. Additionally, the philosophy departments of Washington State University and the University of Idaho hold a colloquium series each year in which faculty members present current research.

Faculty in the philosophy department work also with students to help them develop their own work outside of classes and to submit their papers to appropriate journals and conferences.

Philosophy majors have done very well in conducting undergraduate research in this department. Typically, several students each year present papers at national and/or regional philosophy conferences. As another example, a philosophy major was the first prize recipient in Washington State University's campuswide undergraduate research competition for spring semester 2002.

The Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference also provides outstanding opportunities for WSU students to present research and serves as an educational resource, involving the students first-hand in an intensive 3-day discussion of a philosophical symposium with internationally known scholars.
