DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Call for Abstracts</strong></p>\n<p><strong>6th Conference of Experimental Philosophy Group UK:</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Joining Forces of Philosophy and the Empirical Sciences to Tackle Social Injustices</strong></p>\n<p>29-30 June 2015\, University of Nottingham</p>\n<p>Deadline for Submissions: 31 March 2015</p>\n<p>Experimental Philosophy Group UK invites the submission of abstracts for posters and papers to be presented at their upcoming conference. We welcome contributions from researchers (from all disciplines) who are engaged in or interested in the investigation of philosophical topics using empirical methods.</p>\n<p>We especially encourage contributions that concern this year&rsquo\;s main theme\, &lsquo\;Joining Forces of Philosophy and the Empirical Sciences to Tackle Social Injustices&rsquo\;. We intend to bring together philosophers\, psychologists and social&nbsp\; scientists&nbsp\; whose research touches on the issue&nbsp\; of&nbsp\; social&nbsp\; injustice&nbsp\; &mdash\;&nbsp\; what&nbsp\; it&nbsp\; is&nbsp\; and&nbsp\; how&nbsp\; it&nbsp\; can&nbsp\; be combated. The conference will provide a platform for knowledge exchange as well as networking and help establish new collaborative research projects. Contributions may include\, amongst others\, empirical research on discrimination (e.g.\,&nbsp\; racial\,&nbsp\; gender&nbsp\; or&nbsp\; religious&nbsp\; discrimination)\,&nbsp\; social&nbsp\; mobility&nbsp\; and accessibility&nbsp\; to&nbsp\; public&nbsp\; resources or philosophical analyses of terms like &lsquo\;justice&rsquo\; or &lsquo\;fairness&rsquo\;.</p>\n<p>Despite this focus\, all high-quality contributions from the wider field of experimental philosophy are welcome. This may include submissions presenting recently completed experimental work\, engaging with the work of this year&rsquo\;s keynote speakers\, proposing new experimental work\, discussing existing empirical studies\, introducing novel approaches or raising methodological questions.</p>\n<p>Submissions are encouraged from all levels of academia. Abstracts of up to 500 words are to be sent as PDF or Word documents to experimentalphilosophyuk@gmail.com by 31st March 2015.
