CFP: Graduate Student Panel: American Philosophy's Borders: Dialogues and Debates

Graduate students are cordially invited to submit papers for the 41st annual meeting of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy, to be held in Denver, Colorado. The theme of the conference is: American Philosophy's Borders: Dialogues and Debates. While papers in all areas of American Philosophy are welcome, some preference will be given to papers which attempt to engage American Philosophy with other approaches (including Continental Philosophy, Analytic Philosophy, Non-Western Philosophy, and Feminist Philosophy, though certainly not limited to those genres) upon issues or problems of mutual concern.

The deadline for submissions is November 15, 2012. This is a firm deadline. We will stop accepting submissions at midnight Eastern Standard Time on November 15th. Please submit your paper or proposal following the guidelines below.

Submission Guidelines:

Papers should be no longer than 3000 words. Longer papers will not be considered. Submissions must include a 100-150 word abstract. Accepted papers will be presented in their entirety by the author during a session and, in most cases, will be followed by a ten minute commentary and a period of open discussion.

One does not need to be a member of SAAP to submit a paper, but will need to become a member in order to present. For more information on membership, please go to http://www.american-philosophy.org/membership.htm

All submissions must be submitted electronically to [email protected]

Electronic submission requires the following files:

(1) Document with Author Information, Title of Paper, Abstract, and Keywords - File name “SAAP 2014 Graduate Panel”

(2) Document with paper prepared for blind review

(please do not include any information about your submission itself in the body of the email)

Anonymity: Papers must be suitable for blind review. Please refrain from making references to your own work, your location, or anything obvious that could reveal your identity. If the author’s identity can be determined through self-references, endnotes, etc., the submission may be disqualified. Avoid headers/footers because they often contain information that breaches anonymity. NOTE: MS Word documents can sometimes reveal the author's identity through word tags. Microsoft explains how to change or erase these here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100240611033.aspx#1

Please note that multiple submissions will not be accepted and that persons participating in invited sessions may not submit to the regular program.

Confirmation: All persons making submissions to the annual meeting website will receive
confirmation of receipt of their submission. If you have not received a confirmation within 48 hours, the submitter should contact the session organizer directly. If you have not received notification regarding the decision about your submission by 15 December, please contact the session organizer.

Scheduling: The Program Committee assumes that it may schedule a paper or session at any time between Thursday at 2:00 p.m., and Saturday late afternoon.
 
Student Travel Funds: Limited travel funds are available to assist students whose papers are accepted for the program. More information will be available upon acceptance.
