Since the site aims to support collaborative research projects and networking relationships among its members, we encourage you to fill out your profile page by adding a picture and more fully describing your interests in public philosophy so that others will know if you have shared interests. We are counting on our members to make the site a useful and exciting resource, and getting to see one another’s profiles is one of the first steps in that direction. Thanks for joining, and thanks in advance for your contributions. We also hope that you’ll join us at our in-person conference to be held Oct. 6-8, 2011 in Washington, DC. Please note the details on the PPN website.
