Call For Commentators
The Center for Values and Social Policy in the Philosophy Department at the University of Colorado, Boulder is pleased to invite philosophers to comment on main program papers at the fourth annual RoME Congress. See our preliminary main conference program below for a list of selected papers. As we finalize this program, we will need to assign commentators to each paper. Ideally we’d like to match papers up with experts and critics. That’s where you come in.
Anyone with interest in attending the RoME conference is invited to submit a letter indicating their interest in commenting. Unfortunately, given the vagaries of scheduling, we will not be able to assign commentator slots to all who express interest, but instead will do our best to fill the ranks with qualified commentators.
