The topic of the 2018 University of Calgary Graduate Philosophy Conference is the Philosophy of Biology broadly construed. The aim of the conference is to explore the newest work at the intersection between philosophy and life and medical sciences. We welcome submissions from philosophers and biologists\, and have no restrictions concerning preferred topics or approaches to philosophy of biology. Hence\, the aim is to create an environment of intense collaborative work able to reflect and to foster diversity in the philosophy of biology.
