Academic
ERA wants to support her members in their studies. To do so, the Academic Committee organises study sessions every block and maintains a Study Drive where students can share notes, recordings and summaries. On top of that we also offer a small discount on your textbooks.
Inter-esse Buddysystem
Need help with a course, or just want to see it in a different light? Sign up for Inter-esse and you'll be matched to another student skilled in the very thing you need help with. Help can also be offered for more general questions or problems regarding your studies, or exams.
For help regarding student wellbeing we would like to kindly redirect you to your fellow student Sten Petersen, who specifically focusses on the wellbeing of philosophy students. You can reach him by sending an email to [email protected].
Ben jij bijzonder getalenteerd in een bepaald vak of meerdere vakken en zou jij graag je medestudenten
willen helpen wanneer zij hier moeite mee hebben? Je kunt je dan aanmelden voor Inter-esse. Wanneer
iemand zich aanmeldt die moeite heeft met een van de vakken waar je je voor opgeeft, zullen we contact
met je opnemen. Je wordt dan in contact gebracht met deze persoon zodat jij diegene verder kunt
helpen.

ERA's Academic Committee maintains a Google Drive for all philosophy students. By archiving all summaries and lecture notes in a clear overview, we hope to make studying easier for our members. This way, all students can hopefully complete their Bachelor in Philosophy succesfully. Feel free to add your own documents to help others!
The Academic Committee started this drive in 217. In 2019 they, specifically Clement Bezemer with the help of Jaap-Jan de Wit, renewed the drive to have a user-friendly and safe interface.

In practice
Besides socially and academically, we also understands the importance of supporting our members practically: to prepare you for life after graduation. ERA members can already use and improve their talents with positions on a committee or boardbut also by joining Twijfel or teaching children with Jonge Twijfelaars. To also prepare you for a philosophical career outside of ERA the Philosophers At Work (FAW) committee organizes sessions where alumni talk about what they've done with their philosophy degree, alumni-days, work visits, and the occasional internship.
Philosophy is work: everyone who has ever attempted to read Hegel knows this. Still, this mental labour seems to be hard to apply in practice. The conceptual nature of philosophy can create the illusion that philosophers only work in their own theoretical bubble, far away from reality. By connecting students with the practical field, the FAW committee wishes to show that this is not the case at all.
The Philosophers-At-Work committee shines light on an often overlooked aspect of the study of philosophy, namely philosophy as a future job. We do this by introducing students to the job market in various ways. Every year we organise four FAW-sessions, where we focus on philosophy graduates and their working lives. Furthermore we organise other work-related events such as work visits, and help with your search for internships or extracurricular activities. Though students are currently our priority, we also organise events for alumni. An example of this is the "alumni-day", a reunion of sorts. These events are also great opportunities for current students to practice networking and learn from these working philosophers.
To conclude: we can't help you with reading Hegel, but we can help you to put mental labour in a practical perspective. To do this, we would love to hear what you would like to see from us: what would you like to do with philosophy after you graduate? What would you like to know more about? Let us know by sending an email to [email protected] or by following our Instagram page and sending us a DM!
