DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Call for papers: Kinds of Agency Online Graduate Conference (Feb 21\, 2026)</strong></p>\n<p>The <em>Kinds of Agency</em> conference invites interdisciplinary exploration of the many forms and manifestations of agency. From intentional action and communication to moral responsibility\, autonomy\, and selfhood\, agency is central to our understanding of human cognition and behavior. Yet it is increasingly clear that agency is not a singular phenomenon: it may be distributed\, embodied\, emergent\, nonhuman\, or collective. Our aim is to foster cross-disciplinary discussions on various types or kinds&nbsp\;of&nbsp\;agency that have intrigued philosophers\, cognitive scientists\, linguists\, neuroscientists\, and developmental\, comparative\, and evolutionary psychologists\, among others.</p>\n<p><strong>We welcome papers on topics including\, but not limited to:</strong></p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Agency in language\, thought\, and action</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Developmental and evolutionary roots of agency</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Nonhuman and artificial agency (e.g.\, animal cognition\, AI systems)</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Collective and distributed agency</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Agency\, autonomy\, and normativity</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; The phenomenology of agency and selfhood</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Agency and expression in social\, cultural\, or political contexts</p>\n<p><u>Submission Guidelines<br></u>We invite abstracts &ndash\; roughly 1\,000 words\, excluding references &ndash\; of short papers\, suitable for a 30 min presentation\, by graduate students and postdocs. Presenters will be asked to send a recording of their talks a week in advance.&nbsp\;The&nbsp\;videos should <strong>not</strong> exceed 20 mins to allow for 10 min discussion.&nbsp\;The&nbsp\;papers should be relatively accessible to a cross-disciplinary audience and avoid overly technical discussions of &lsquo\;in-house&rsquo\; issues/debates.<br><br></p>\n<p><strong>Submission Deadline: December 14\, 2025</strong></p>\n<p>Notifications by: January 17\, 2026<br><br></p>\n<p>Abstracts should be prepared for blind review and include&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;title of&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;paper\; they should make clear both&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;topic and&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;main arguments of&nbsp\;the&nbsp\;paper.</p>\n<p>Abstracts should be submitted through the following form:<br>https://forms.gle/uG6u6To6H1M2VyVn6</p>
