DESCRIPTION:<p>The department of philosophy at McGill is excited to announce its second annual graduate conference\, to be held on March 11th&nbsp\;and 12th\, 2027. Speakers must be enrolled in an MA or PhD program in philosophy (or equivalent in another discipline)&nbsp\;<em>at the time of the conference</em>. Although the call for abstracts is open to any topic in philosophy\, we&rsquo\;ll give preference to abstracts related to the following topics of interest for our department and affiliated research groups:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Philosophy of normativity (broadly construed to include analytic and continental traditions)</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Ethical theory (broadly construed to include analytic and continental traditions)&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Philosophy of technology (ethics\, metaphysics\, epistemology\, social and political philosophy)</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;History of philosophy (especially underrepresented figures)&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>&middot\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Metaphysics and epistemology (broadly construed to include theoretical and historical work)</p>\n<p>On day one of the conference\, we&rsquo\;ll have an afternoon keynote presentation (speaker TBD)\, followed by an evening reception with light snacks and beverages. On day two\, we&rsquo\;ll have presentations from the invited graduate speakers\, each followed by short commentary from a McGill graduate student. Presentations should be no longer than 30 minutes\, leaving 10 minutes for commentary then response\, and 30 minutes for Q&amp\;A.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Submission guidelines:&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>a)&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;An abstract of 750 words (not including any references)&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>b)&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Anonymized for blind peer review&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>c)&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Submitted in PDF format to&nbsp\;mcgillgpc@gmail.com</p>\n<p>d)&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Title the PDF file itself as follows: &ldquo\;MGPC_2027_Title of Your Paper&rdquo\;</p>\n<p>e)&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;In the body of your email\, please also list the following information:</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;i) &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;Your full name and pronouns.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;ii)&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Institutional affiliation(s).</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;iii)&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Paper title.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;iv)&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Contact email.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;v) &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;A note if you identify as a member of an underrepresented group in philosophy.</p>\n<p>&nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\; &nbsp\;vi)&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;Indicate whether you wish to be considered for a travel stipend.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>All presentations will be&nbsp\;<em>in person</em>&nbsp\;at McGill&rsquo\;s campus in the downtown core of Montreal. Co&ndash\;authored abstracts are allowed. However\, co&ndash\;authoring an abstract prevents both co&ndash\;authors from also submitting their own single authored abstracts.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Some travel funding will be made available on a case-by-case basis\, depending on speakers' ability to acquire other sources of funding. We have limited funds\, so we will decide how to distribute them after reviewing the abstract submissions. &nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Submission deadline: December 30th\, 2026 (at 11:59pm EST)</p>\n<p>Notification of results: January 31st\, 2027</p>\n<p>Date of conference: March 11th&nbsp\;&ndash\; 12th\, 2027</p>\n<p>Conference organizing team: Sarah Turnbull\, Jenna Johnston\, Daniel Seggie\,&nbsp\;Alex Carty.</p>\n<p>Send questions to Alex at:&nbsp\;<a href="mailto:mcgillgpc@gmail.com">mcgillgpc@gmail.com</a></p>
