Philosophy of Social Science Roundtable

The Philosophy of Social Science Roundtable is an annual event held in North America.  The conference is a small, workshop style event.  Papers on any topic related to the social sciences, broadly understood (as including, for example, social epistemology or social ontology) are welcome.  We especially welcome contributions from social scientists.

This year's Roundtable will be run jointly with the Conference on Responsible Data, AI, and Social Systems.  The conferences will share four plenary speakers: Michael Kearns (University of Pennsylvania), Anita Allen (University of Pennsylvania), Avrim Blum (Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago), and Debra Mayo (Virginia Tech).

We welcome extended abstracts (between 600-1,200 words) for papers on any topic in philosophy of the social sciences, especially those that tackle philosophical issues as they arise in, and are consequential for, practicing social scientists.  Please email submissions to [email protected] no later than December 15, 2024. Abstracts should be blinded and attached to your email as a Microsoft Word document; please include your full name and affiliation in the accompanying email.
