Undergraduate Philosophy Association

Welcome to the homepage of the Undergraduate Philosophy Association at Boston University. Open to all undergraduates, whether you've taken one course, are majoring in or just wish to "philosophize" we welcome you.
We typically meet once a week in the School of Theology for student-driven discussion sections and event planning. Additionally we coordinate many BU professor lectures and discussions throughout the year and also discuss "applied" philosophy on occasion with other student groups on topics such as animal rights and humanitarinaism. Other events we have done in the past are also linked to on the right

As interest in global health has surged, more and more students are breaking into the field by going on volunteer service trips. But is this the best way to enter global health? And more substantially, can it do more harm than good? Are participants exempt from moral blame because of their intent in participating on the trip?
Please join the Undergraduate Public Heath Association (UPHA), the Bioethics Society, Global Medical Brigades, the Undergraduate Philosophy Association, and students from the School of Public Health as we answer these questions and ultimately explore what characteristics make up an ethical service abroad trip.
