The Philosophy of Logic, Math, and Physics Graduate Student Conference

The graduate students of the Western University (London, Ontario) philosophy department are excited to announce our 24th annual Graduate Student Conference, taking place in person on June 5 and June 6, 2025. The aim of this conference is to promote cooperation and critical engagement amongst graduate students doing research in the philosophy of physics, mathematics, and logic. Papers in philosophy of physics will be considered for the Annual Clifton Memorial book prize. The contest will be adjudicated by philosophy of physics faculty members at Western.

Graduate students who have not yet defended their PhD thesis are invited to submit papers on any topic in philosophy of logic, philosophy of mathematics, and philosophy of physics. We hope to generate discussions about the deeply intertwined nature of these disciplines.

Submission Guidelines:

• Submissions are accepted via email to [email protected].
• Maximum 5000 words, including footnotes and appendices (but not references). If the paper includes tables, figures, or equations, an appropriate number of words should be subtracted from the limit.
• Papers should be accompanied by an abstract that is no longer than 300 words.
• Papers are to be prepared for anonymous review (meaning your name should not appear within the paper).
• Co-authored papers are not eligible for submission.

Submission Deadline: April 1st, 2025.

Accepted Papers: Each presenter will be allocated an hour-long time slot; presentations should be 30 to 40 minutes long, with 20 to 30 minutes for a Q&A period.

Please send any questions to the LMP Committee: [email protected].
