About Gawaing-Pilosopo
Gawaing-Pilosopo is an online bulletin board that serves as a public portal where Filipino philosophers and enthusiasts, academics and students alike, can post, inter alia, conferences, workshops, seminars, lectures, conference/journal call for papers, scholarships and fellowships, etc. There is no monetary cost for posting your announcements; however, all submissions will be moderated to ensure quality control and to avoid uneccesarry clutter.
The vision of the site’s creator is to bring together philosophers from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the hope of eventually overcoming the Balkanization among philosophy departments and the North-South divide that contribute to the “crucifixion” of philosophy in the Philippines.
Gawaing-Pilosopo advocates the vision of de-centering institutional and regional priority. If you share this vision, please join the community by using this portal to propagate the value of philosophical inquiry to our colleagues, students, and fellow Filipinos.
Send your post submissions, suggestions, and feedback to
You are also welcome to suggest philosophical societies, resources, and links that are not currently posted in the site; please send the details to the above e-mail address and not through the comment box.
It is important to note that if you have questions about application procedures for scholarships/fellowships/jobs or further inquiries about conferences or other events, you need to refer to the specific contact details found in the respective post. Sending your CV via the comment box is not recommended.
