12th Annual University of Miami Graduate Student Conference:
Biomedical Epistemology and Bioethics

Date: October 16th-18th 2014
Place: Miami, Florida

Keynote Addresses: John Arras (University of Virginia) and
Rebecca Kukla (Georgetown University) (topics: TBA)

Submission Deadline: September 15th 2014

The Department of Philosophy at the University of Miami invites submissions
for its annual graduate student conference. This year, we are interested in
papers directly related to the ethical or epistemological issues arising in
the field of medicine (or an intersection of such issues); e.g., issues
related to clinical trials, public health policy, human enhancement, etc.
Papers responding to Dr. Arras’ or Dr. Kukla’s work are especially
encouraged.  However, if you think you can make a positive contribution to
the conference, papers dealing with philosophical issues in medicine more
broadly construed are also welcomed.

Submission Guidelines:

1. Papers should be no more than 3000 words, or 30 minutes reading time.
2. Papers should be prepared for blind review (no identifying information),
and accompanied by a title page including:

a) Author’s name
b) Academic status and affiliation
c) Contact information (e-mail address preferably)
d) 150 word abstract

3. Send electronic copies in .doc or .pdf format to
[email protected] or send two paper copies to:

Lance Aschliman
