Student Philosophy Association
The Student Philosophy Association (SPA) is a student-run organization for any and all Cal State Long Beach students who have an interest in Philosophy. Membership is open to both undergraduate and graduate students, and is open to majors and non-majors alike. The SPA is primarily focused on socializing with an eye toward philosophical discussion in a fun and inclusive key. It routinely engages with the Department of Philosophy, helping to stage and sponsor a range of events.
The SPA President for AY24–25 is Sam Parajuli. For further information, visit the SPA Discord pages or the SPA Instagram page, or even just reach out to Sam by e-mail.
During SU24–FA24, the SPA is operating a reading group on 20th century psychoanalysis and continental philosophy (see here for the reading schedule and meeting information). For questions, please contact Sam.
