CFP: Northwest Student Philosophy Conference

The Northwest Student Philosophy Conference (NWSPC) is organized by undergraduate students and aims to showcase the philosophical research of undergraduate, graduate, and professional philosophers.  In the last several years, we have been privileged to host Alex Guerrero (2014), Meghan Sullivan (2013), Carrie Jenkins and Jonathan Ichikawa (2012), Kris McDaniel (2011), Ben Bradley, Shieva Kleinschmidt, and Laurie Paul  (2010), Kit Fine (2009), Michael Rea (2009), Dean Zimmerman (2008) and Jonathan Schaffer (2007) as keynote and guest speakers. 

This year, our conference takes place Memorial Day weekend, May 22-24. We are pleased to announce that Heather Demarest from the University of Oklahoma will be delivering the keynote address. All students – undergraduate, masters, graduate – are invited to submit papers. Entrance is fairly competitive as we have only 6-8 open slots for student presentations, this should not discourage interested applicants. Papers can be on any philosophical topic, preferably no longer than 6,000 words. Submission deadline is March 20.

HOW TO SUBMIT PAPERS:

1. Prepare the paper for blind review

2. Provide an abstract (up to 300 words) between the title and main text of the paper

3. Send an e-copy as an attachment (either as word document or pdf) to [email protected]

4. In the email to which the paper is attached, provide relevant contact information: Name / Institution / Email / Phone
