At the Canadian Philosophical Association (CPA) Annual Congress on June 2, 2025, three of our graduate students—Cameron Yetman, Alex Drusda, and Josh Brecka—were formally recognized as winners of CPA 2025 academic prizes, recognizing excellence in philosophical scholarship across multiple categories.
Yetman and Drusda both received a CPA Student Essay Prize, awarded by the Association’s bilingual journal, Dialogue. Yetman’s award-winning essay, “Text as a Source of Perceptual Signal,” is a piece in the philosophy of cognitive science. Drusda wrote an article in the history of philosophy, “The Moral Standing of Non-Human Animals in the Early Marx.”
Both Yetman and Drusda were also honoured with an FHSS Congress Graduate Merit Award (CGMA), worth $500 each. Brecka likewise received a CGMA based on his work in epistemology titled “There Is No Special Problem of Epistemic Justification for Scientific Measurement.” Recipients for Congress Graduate Merit Awards are selected based on nominations from the CPA committee.
Congratulations to all three writers and everyone else recognized this year by the CPA.
