Awards and Support

To encourage participation of junior scholars, as well as scholarship in underrepresented branches of ethics, the University of Colorado offers four targeted awards. Applicants may submit their paper to as many prizes as they are eligible, though please be sure to read the eligibility criteria:

听

First, as we have for over fifteen years, we award the听Young Ethicist Prize (YEP)听of $500 for most meritorious submission.听 The prize competition is open to any participating untenured philosopher (including, but not limited to, tenure-track faculty, instructors, and graduate students).

听

听Second, since 2017 we have been awarding the听Minorities and Philosophy Ethicist Prize (MAP)听of $500 for the most meritorious submission on a topic that addresses a moral, social, political, or legal question or set of questions (i) relating to issues in the profession regarding members of under-represented groups, (ii) regarding philosophy of gender, race, sexual orientation, class, disability, native language, etc. or (iii) addressing normative philosophical questions from an under-represented group perspective.
