Call for Papers

for

The University of Oxford's 29th Annual Graduate Philosophy Conference

University of Oxford 15th-16th November 2025

We invite submissions from all graduate students working in philosophy for the 29th Annual Oxford Philosophy Graduate Conference, to be held on the 15th-16th November 2025 at the University of Oxford.

Papers can be on any topic in philosophy. We aim to represent a broad range of philosophical debates and traditions in our final selection, across theoretical philosophy, practical philosophy, and the history of philosophy.

The selected graduate students will be asked to present their papers in a roughly 30-40 minutes long presentation. Each student presentation will be followed by a response, typically from a member of the Oxford Philosophy Faculty.

We are also delighted to announce our three keynote speakers at this year’s conference:  

Gillian Russell (Australia National University),

Sam Fletcher (University of Oxford) and 

Anil Gomes (University of Oxford)

Presenting at the conference offers an excellent opportunity to showcase your work to an enthusiastic and welcoming audience.

Eligibility: All current graduate students in philosophy are eligible to apply, except those studying at Oxford at the time of the conference.

We particularly encourage submissions by philosophers from groups underrepresented in the discipline.

The submission deadline is Friday 2nd May, 11:59 p.m. BST
