The Eighteenth Annual Conference of the Leibniz Society of North America (LSNA) will be held jointly with the Sixth Conference of the Société d’études leibniziennes de langue française (SELLF). The conference will take place at the Sorbonne June 13-15, 2024. The goal of the joint conference is to share research and increase interaction between the two scholarly communities.
Half of the papers will be in French, the other half in English. Each talk (30 minutes) will be followed by comments (15 minutes) in the other language. They can address any aspect of Leibniz’s work, including influences on his thought and its reception. Discussion will be in both languages, where flexibility will be paramount.
Submissions should take the form of an abstract (max 450 words) and title, and sent to:
[email protected]. The deadline is December 12, 2023.
Submissions will be evaluated by a joint committee composed of representatives of both societies. The decisions for the program will be made by the end of January, 2024.
The LSNA has some funding to help early career scholars cover travel expenses.
Speakers are asked to send their papers to their commentators 4 weeks ahead of the conference, by May 15, 2024. Commentators are asked to send their response to the speaker one week before the conference, by June 6, 2024.
For submissions in English, we ask (but do not require) that authors join the Leibniz Society of North America. Membership dues fund the operation of the LSNA and subsidies for travel for early career scholars. For participation in the conference, membership in one of the two societies will be mandatory.
While the LSNA is based in North America, membership is open to all those with a scholarly interest in Leibniz, regardless of country of residence. Joining the Society requires payment of annual dues, which include a subscription to the Leibniz Review.
The rates for LSNA membership are:
· $20/year for online-only subscriptions for student members

· $35/year for print+online subscriptions within the U.S. and Canada
