The 2016 Compass Workshop — the first of its kind — took place at Princeton University on February 6th and 7th. The workshop featured six discussion sessions over the course of two days, led by graduate students, on recent papers in a variety of sub-disciplines within philosophy. In addition to discussion sessions, the workshop featured two advice sessions with female faculty mentors on the following topics: “Thinking about Graduate School?” and “How to Get the Most Out of Your Academic Experience”.
