CFP: 10th Annual Southeast Graduate Philosophy Conference (SEGPC)

10th Annual Southeast Graduate Philosophy Conference (SEGPC) 2016 Call for Papers

The Southeast Graduate Philosophy Conference (SEGPC) is a national conference held annually since 2006 at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. Each conference has an invited keynote speaker as well as a capstone speaker drawn from the faculty at UF. This year we are very pleased to announce that our keynote speaker is Dr. Julia Driver from the University of Washington in St. Louis. Our capstone speaker is our own Dr. Nathan Rothschild who specializes in ancient philosophy. Each paper accepted for presentation will be assigned a commentator. The conference is thus a great opportunity for graduate students to present their work and receive critical feedback in a professional venue. Please forward this email announcement to graduate students and anyone who may be interested in attending.

The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, January 6th, 2016.
