CALL FOR PAPERS:

We invite submissions from all graduate students working in philosophy for the 30th Annual Oxford Philosophy Graduate Conference, to be held on the 13th-14th November 2026 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.

Each selected graduate student will be asked to present their paper in a 30-40 minute presentation. Each presentation will be followed by a response, typically from a member of the Oxford Philosophy Faculty.

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

David Chalmers (New York University),

Monima Chadha (University of Oxford), 

Rob Simpson (University College London),

In addition, 

Adrian Moore (University of Oxford) will be holding a workshop on how to publish in philosophy journals.
