CFP: 2025 Midwest Study Group of the North American Kant Society

The Midwest Study Group of the North American Kant Society (NAKS) invites submissions for detailed abstracts (1,000-1,200 words) for its 2025 annual meeting, to take place November 14–15, 2025, at the University of Notre Dame, hosted by Professor Alix Cohen ([email protected]). Submissions (in .doc, .docx, or .pdf format) should be prepared for anonymous review and include a word count. Please supply author name, affiliation, and contact information in a separate file. Graduate students should note their status in the contact information.

Please send all abstracts electronically to Bennett McNulty ([email protected]). The submission deadline is July 15th, and notifications will be send out in mid-August.

The selection committee welcomes contributions on all topics of Kantian scholarship (both contemporary and historically-oriented), including discussions of Kant’s immediate predecessors and successors. We especially encourage submissions from individuals of groups underrepresented in philosophy and Kant scholarship in particular.

The best graduate student paper will receive a $200 stipend and be eligible for the Markus Herz Prize awarded by NAKS. Papers already presented at other NAKS study groups or meetings are not eligible for submission. Presenters must be members of NAKS in good standing (though this is not required in order to submit a paper).
