CFP: Contemporary Work in Phenomenology

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Boston Phenomenology Circle invites submissions for its first annual symposium on Friday, April 1, 2016 at Boston University. The Circle, founded by graduate students at Boston University and Boston College, is a forum and network for individuals working on phenomenology in the Boston area.

The theme of this first symposium is Contemporary Work in Phenomenology. We seek to display cutting-edge interpretive work on figures in the phenomenological movement, including contemporary engagements with phenomenology (e.g., from philosophy of mind and language, metaphysics, logic, social and political philosophy, critical theory, aesthetics). This one-day symposium has space for four paper presentations.

The symposium will also feature two keynote speakers:

Avner Baz (Tufts)
George Heffernan (Merrimack College)

Please send submissions to [email protected] by February 1, 2016. Papers should not exceed 3500 words, and should be suitable for a 20-minute presentation. Please prepare papers for blind review, enclosing a separate document with your name, paper title, affiliation, contact information, and a 150-word abstract. Acceptance will be announced by March 1, 2016.
