Presentation Format
Each presentation will last 30 minutes. This will be followed by comments for 15 minutes, and a 15 minute Q&A. The first day of the conference will end with a talk by the keynote speaker. There will be a dinner reception following the keynote and a general conference reception the closing evening.
Submission Guidelines
-
We welcome submissions from all current graduate philosophy students. We are prioritizing submissions from those in the region (within ~250 miles of Amherst, Massachusetts), due to very minimal travel funds to defer costs of presenters.
- Papers should be no more than 4000 words, excluding footnotes and bibliography, prepared for a 30 minute presentation. The document containing your submission should be fully anonymized, and sent to [email protected]
-
Emails should also include a separate cover letter which lists your (i) name, (ii) institution, (iii) paper title, (iv) contact info (email), and (v) a 100-200 word abstract.
The deadline for submitting papers is 11:59pm (EST) on Sunday, November 3rd, 2024.
Notifications of acceptance will be sent in the last two weeks of November.
