Charles S. Peirce Society Sessions at the 2026 Central Division Meeting of the American Philosophical Association

The Charles S. Peirce Society invites abstracts of approximately 500 words (excluding works cited) for presentations at its affiliated group sessions at the 2026 Central Division Meeting of the American Philosophical Association.

Submissions may address any topic related to the work of Charles S. Peirce. While presentations need not focus exclusively on Peirce, his work or thought should constitute a central theme of the presentation. Abstracts that explore connections to Peirce from fields outside of philosophy or the history of philosophy (broadly construed to include semiotics and its history) are welcome, though preference will be given to submissions within those areas. Presenters will have around a 20-minute presentation time (not including Q&A). 

Membership in the Charles S. Peirce Society is not required at the time of submission. However, authors of accepted abstracts must be members of the Society upon confirming their participation. Go here for membership information.

Please submit your abstract by Thursday, July 31, 2025, via email to [email protected], directed to Dr. Aaron B. Wilson (Director). Submissions should include:

• The abstract (as a separate document or within the email)
• Author’s name and contact information
• Institutional affiliation
• A current CV

Late submissions may or may not be considered.

Authors will be notified of a decision by August 31st, 2025.

Limited financial support for travel is available. Please go here for more information.
