​

The British Postgraduate Philosophy Association will hold a Special Election for the role of President, for which the period of nominations is now open.  This election is open to all people who registered as philosophical postgraduate students in the UK by 1st February 2025. We encourage potential candidates to send their nominations. 

​

Having assumed the role of President for two years and a half (though not consecutively), the incumbent President wishes to resign and allow new candidates to come forth. Their resignation has been accepted by the Executive Committee and will be made effective with the election of a new President. 

​

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone aspiring to make a positive impact on the postgraduate Philosophy community in the UK, since the BPPA is the leading association in that regard and one of the biggest Philosophy learned societies in the UK, as well as to enhance one’s CV. The President of the BPPA is the most executive position in the committee, and is ultimately responsible for the running of the organization. 

 

In order to apply, please send an email to british.postgraduate.philosophy@gmail.com with the subject ‘BPPA Special Election- Application’. The body of the email should include 1) the degree which, and the university where, the applicant studies, and (optionally) 2) a letter or statement explaining their motivations and suitability for the role they are applying to is most welcome.

 

The deadline for the submission of nominations is the 18th February, 2025, with the election commencing one week after the deadline.  The new President will then be elected through an online voting system open to all BPPA members.

 

 Any questions should be directed to our email, british.postgraduate.philosophy@gmail.com .
