We invite contributions working within the philosophy of cognitive science, with an emphasis on situated approaches in the cognitive sciences, broadly construed. We are particularly interested in contributions that establish and develop close relationships between scientific practice, methods and outcomes, and the philosophy of cognitive science - the ways such approaches can contribute directly to progress in the cognitive sciences.

Please include your name, affiliation, and status (i.e., student, postdoc, faculty) in the body of your email. The subject line should be ‘PhilCogSci @ CASIP: New Directions in Situated Cognition’. Abstracts should be within 300 words. We will notify acceptance/rejection by August 7th 2023.
