CFP: Eighteenth Annual Cambridge Graduate Conference on the Philosophy of Mathematics and Logic

The Cambridge Graduate Conference on the Philosophy of Mathematics and Logic returns for its eighteenth year. We plan for the conference to be held, as in previous years, in St John's College, Cambridge on 25–26 January 2025. The conference is intended as a forum for graduate students who work in formal areas of philosophy to present their work to their peers. 

As such, we welcome papers in logic and other formally-informed areas of philosophy, such as: philosophy of mathematics, logic and philosophy of logic, applications of logic to epistemology and metaphysics, formal epistemology, decision theory, and applications of formal methods to the philosophy of science. Papers will have respondents, and will be followed by open discussion. Respondents will be selected from members of the Cambridge University Faculty of Philosophy and other philosophy departments in the UK.

Papers should be no longer than 4000 words, and suitable for a 40 minute presentation. They should also be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 150 words. The paper should be anonymised and suitable for blind refereeing. Please include a separate detachable cover sheet including name, title, institution, and contact details. Submissions are preferred in .doc or .pdf format. They should be emailed to [email protected]. Receipt of submission will be confirmed by email. Please note that we cannot accept more than one submission per student.

We adhere to the BPA/SWIP good practice guidelines concerning conferences, accessibility, and travel. We particularly encourage submissions from women and other under-represented groups. Moreover, we would like to emphasise that the venue will be completely wheelchair accessible with a large lift and an accessible toilet and service dogs are welcome. There will be breaks between talks. Please do contact us with any queries related to accessibility.

The deadline for submissions is 6 November.

We will notify authors of the decision regarding their paper by 15 December. For successful applicants we will cover the cost of accommodation, conference fee, and the conference dinner. We expect to be unable to reimburse travel costs for graduate speakers.
