Cogtweeto ("I tweet therefore I am") Workshops is a free, fully-virtual workshop initiative developed to promote open and constructive engagement with contemporary philosophical research.
Inspired by and originally built for "Philosophy Twitter," Cogtweeto invites all members of the online philosophy community—students, professors, independent scholars, and Twitter lurkers alike—to enrich their philosophical engagement with one another in an open and low-stakes way. Our aim is to bring the standards and conversations of academic philosophy beyond its walls, leaving the barriers of those walls behind.
To create a
new, radically more accessible space for philosophy

– post-grad early career researchers
– independent scholars
Requires submission of a short (<3000 word) paper.
"coffee hour" talks
Hour-long, informal conversations about a paper in progress (or even just an idea in progress!) between the speaker and participants. Talk format intended for those looking for a chance to bounce some new or not-so-fully-baked ideas off some cool people, especially:
– grad students at any stage
– post-grad early career researchers
– adjunct faculty
– independent scholars
Requires submission of an extended abstract (750-1000 words).
"colloquium" talks
Hour-long lecture presentation, followed by an hour of Q&A. Talk format intended for those looking for more experience with a longer-form/job talk presentation, especially:

Requires submission of an extended abstract (750-1000 words)
