ABOUT THIS SITE

Think about it . . .

• Would you benefit from a Web site that provided you with information about the New Jersey regional philosophy scene — information about conferences and events, visiting professors, jobs, etc.?

• Would you benefit from a Web site that provided you with the names, addresses and e-mail addresses of every person teaching philosophy in the New Jersey area?

• Would you benefit from a Web site that would provide you with information about philosophy programs in New Jersey area colleges and universities — information like numbers of majors, enrollment trends, graduate school admissions, hiring plans, etc.?

• Would you benefit from a Web site that provided information and tips about the use of information technology in teaching philosophy?

• Would you benefit from a Web site where you could post drafts of papers, preprints and other work-in-progress for comment and discussion by fellow philosophers?

• Would you benefit from a Web site where philosophers seeking adjunct teaching positions in the New Jersey area could post their résumés and where departments could find candidates for filling such positions?

• Would you benefit from a Web site that offered e-mail list management services, newsgroup/Web discussion boards and chat rooms designed to encourage and support dialogue among philosophers in the New Jersey area?

          If your answer to even a couple of these questions was "yes," then you might want to consider helping us to build this site.

          Right now, as you can see, the NJRPA Web site is little more than a glorious ambition.  But with your help, this ambition can be realized and this Web site can be turned into something of real value for philosophers in the New Jersey area.

          If you are interested in participating in this project in any way (for example, by serving as a contact person for your department and institution), please send e-mail to either David Benfield at benfieldd@mail.montclair.edu or Tom Bridges at bridgest@mail.montclair.edu.
