All submissions should be formatted for blind review and sent to Stephen Puryear, NCPS Secretary-Treasurer, at [email protected]. Please use the subject line “2018 NCPS Submission”.
In the body of your email, please indicate your name, email address, phone number, and institutional affiliation (if any). If you wish your paper to be considered for a prize (see below), please note whether you are an untenured faculty member, graduate student, or undergraduate.
Location All sessions will be on the campus of Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC. Part of the Charlotte (NC) metropolitan area, Rock Hill sits approximately 26 miles south of Charlotte-Douglas International Airport (CLT), 80 miles east of Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport (GSO), and 80 miles north of Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE).
Panels and Workshops Panel and workshop proposals on any topic in philosophy, including its pedagogy, are welcome. Proposals should specify issues to be discussed, format (including time to be allotted), and names of presenters, and should include brief abstracts of presentations.
Undergraduate Papers A sufficient number of undergraduate submissions will allow for a session devoted to papers by undergraduates. Undergraduate submissions should be clearly labeled as such.
