About the Miami Forum
The Miami Forum hosts graduate student presentations and discussions
of philosophy. It is the meeting place where insights and
criticisms are given free play among the graduate students about
their own work. It is also where graduate students discuss
conference presentations, funding, and other aspects of the
profession of philosophy. The Miami Forum is the birthplace of the
first graduate student philosophy conference at the University of
Miami.
Below is a list of past presidents, calendar of
events, and an archive. All current graduate students are invited
to request meetings of the Forum by contacting the
acting president.
The Governance of the Miami Forum

here, the Miami Forum shall be conducted as stipulated by Kreider
