Experimental Philosophy Group UK invites the submission of 500-word

philosophy for their upcoming workshop.  We also invite submissions for
15-minute presentations outlining delegates’ current projects or research
interests.

Keynote presentations will be given by Molly Crockett (UCL) and Shen-yi Liao
(Leeds).

We welcome submissions presenting recently completed experimental work,
engaging with the work of this year’s keynote speakers, proposing new
experimental work, discussing existing empirical studies, introducing novel
approaches or raising methodological questions.

All high-quality submissions considered. Submissions encouraged from all
levels of academia.   Abstracts of up to 500 words (or for short
presentations, abstracts of 200-300 words) are to be sent as PDF or Word
documents to [email protected] by 7th June 2014. Subject
line of email should read “SUBMISSION [YOUR NAME]”. In the body of the email
please state your name, affiliation and in which category (long or short
presentation) you wish your submission to be considered.  Those whose
abstracts for full-length presentations are not accepted will be
automatically considered for short presentations.  Presenters should be
prepared to obtain funding from their home department, or to fund themselves.

Experimental Philosophy Group UK aims to provide a forum for UK-based
researchers from all disciplines who are engaged in or interested in the
investigation of philosophical topics using empirical methods.  This
workshop will have a focus upon (i) providing a platform for UK-based
experimental philosophers, (ii) providing a forum for constructive
discussion and collaboration to help and encourage new experimental work,
(iii) encouraging constructive debate about the relevance of empirical
findings across a range of philosophical topics.

Workshop Organisers: Bryony Pierce (Bristol), Robin Scaife (Sheffield),
James Andow (Nottingham) and Josh Shepherd (Oxford)
