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 AY25–26 is Grant Lowell. For further information, visit the SPA Discord pages or the SPA Instagram page, or even just reach out to Grant by e-mail.
On the heels of the wildly successful Quine Reading Group, the SPA is also helping to sponsor the Vienna Circle Reading Group. For questions, please contact Grant.
