We invite submissions of abstracts for the 2026 Chapel Hill Normativity Workshop: Montreal Edition. Abstracts should be between 750-1000 words (inclusive of footnotes but exclusive of any bibliography) and should summarize a paper that can be presented in no more than 40 minutes. The title of the paper should be included within the document above the abstract. Please prepare your abstract for anonymous review\, and submit it in .pdf or .docx form to chnormativity@gmail.com by October 15th\, 2025.
\nWe will consider papers on any aspect of normativity\, construed broadly to include:
\nThose who presented papers at the last two Normativity Workshops (the 7th annual workshop\, held in 2025\; and the 6th annual workshop\, held in 2024) are not eligible to submit papers this year. Those who chaired/commented at the last two workshops\, or who presented at previous workshops\, are eligible to submit. There is a limit of one submission per person\; co-authored papers count toward this limit.
\nFor the seventh workshop running\, papers accepted to the workshop will be eligible for publication in a special issue of Philosophical Studies. Authors of accepted papers are encouraged\, but not required\, to submit their papers to the special issue.
\nThe authors of the seven best abstracts not selected for the workshop will be invited to chair a session at the workshop and\, as part of that\, to act as a "mini-commentator"\, asking an extended (3-5 minute) first question. In order to facilitate this\, we will ask authors of accepted papers to send their chair-commentators a draft of their full paper by April 1st.
