DESCRIPTION:<p>The investigation of&nbsp\;quantum&nbsp\;gravity has been central to theoretical physics for at least two decades\, but philosophy has only engaged with this field in very a fragmentary way. The purpose of this meeting is bring together people with research agendas in&nbsp\;quantum&nbsp\;gravity\, to present their work and develop some common understanding of philosophical topics\, questions\, approaches\, and solutions. Because the field is very new\, many of those involved are near or recent PhDs &ndash\; along with established scholars\, they are encouraged to attend\, to share their work or learn.</p>\n<p>We invite technically informed presentations on any topics of two types:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Paper presentations &ndash\; suitable for presentation in 30 minutes plus question period. Submit paper drafts or detailed proposals of 1\,000-1\,500 words. Drafts of all accepted papers are to be provided for circulation by early September.</li>\n<li>Work-in-progress presentations of 30 minutes &ndash\; submit a 500 word proposal.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>ABD graduate students or recent PhDs are invited to apply to both categories\, those with more seniority to the former. We will consider published or forthcoming papers for presentation.<br><br>Deadline for papers and proposals: 1 June 2013 (decisions by 15 July 2013) &ndash\; please prepare them for blind refereeing.<br><br>We will provide financial support of two kinds for selected speakers:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>For speakers with access to institutional travel funds we will offer stipends of $250 ($500 if traveling from outside North America) towards travel costs.</li>\n<li>For speakers without access to institutional travel funds (for instance ABD graduate students\, or recent PhDs in temporary positions\, if applicable)\, flight up to $500 ($1000 if traveling from outside North America) and accommodation.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We will also provide bursaries for graduate students to attend without speaking\; details will be available later.</p>\n<p>Direct correspondence to:&nbsp\;<a#1155cc\; font-family: arial\, sans-serif\; font-size: 13px\;" href="mailto:beyondspacetimeseminar@gmail.com">beyondspacetimeseminar@gmail.com</a>.<br><br>For further information\, please visit:&nbsp\;<a#1155cc\;target="_blank">http://beyondspacetime.blog.com/</a></p>\n<p>Organizers:</p>\n<p>Nick Huggett<br>Christian W&uuml\;thrich</p>\n<p>For further information\, please visit:&nbsp\;</p>
