The Mississippi Philosophical Association (MPA) is soliciting abstracts for presentations at its annual meeting\, to be held February 9-10\, (Saturday-Sunday)\, on the Mississippi State University campus in Starkville\, MS. We seek participants whose work explores the importance of history&mdash\;whether the history of philosophy\, the history of a science or art form\, or social and political history--to philosophical work.
\nWhile the MPA is a regional organization\, we seek broad participation in this conference. Philosophers from all institutions and locations are encouraged to submit abstracts.
\nSubmissions should include a title page with the title of the presentation\, author&rsquo\;s name\, institutional affiliation\, email address\, and postal address. A 500 word abstract should be prepared for blind review and sent as a second file (.doc or pdf only). Email all submissions or questions to Kristin Boyce (kb2152@msstate.edu).
\nSUBMISSIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY DECEMBER 1ST.
\nAuthors will be notified about submissions by DECEMBER 15th.
\nGRADUATE STUDENT PRIZE: There will be cash prizes of $200 (first) and $100 (second) for the best graduate student presentations. If you are a graduate student and want to be eligible for the prize\, please note your graduate student status on the title page of your submission.
