Student Organizations

The Philosophers’ Forum is a student-led organization open to students with an interest in philosophy. The Forum holds events each semester to foster philosophical discussion, networking opportunities and an overall sense of community among philosophy students and faculty.

Georgia State is home to the Zeta chapter (Georgia) of the philosophy honor society, Phi Sigma Tau. This international honor society has more than 200 chapters throughout North America. The society helps to promote continued interest, collaboration and links among philosophy students and philosophy departments among its members.

The CESF's goal is to enhance moral reflection, dialogue and constructive action on campus, in greater Atlanta and beyond, and to support students and members of the larger community who wish to construct lives of personal integrity and responsible citizenship. CESF shall pursue this purpose through innovative programming designed to stimulate critical thinking about the ethical issues inherent in our personal, professional and civic lives. Further, CESF will enrich and expand the experiences of undergraduate and graduate students at Georgia State University by having guest speakers, open forums, and social gatherings in the hopes of achieving its purposes.

This organization fosters a capacity to engage with different viewpoints and ideas in a welcoming manner. We believe this contributes to a healthier democracy.

Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) International is a global network of graduate students promoting minority participation in academic philosophy. The MAP Chapter at GSU, established in 2021, aligns with this mission by addressing structural injustices and enhancing diversity. Our chapter fosters positive change and a more inclusive environment in the GSU philosophy department through respectful dialogues and peer support within our community.
