* Submission deadline was extended to January 25th. 

Duquesne Women in Philosophy on : R I S K

To be held:  April 7, 2018

Keynote Speaker: Jeanine Weekes Schroer (University of Minnesota Duluth)

Duquesne Women in Philosophy (D-WiP) invites papers and abstracts on the theme of “risk.” Full papers of approximately 3,000 words suitable for a 20-minute presentation will be prioritized, although substantial abstracts (a minimum of 700 words) are also welcomed. Full-paper submissions should be accompanied by an abstract of 250 words or less. Due to the underrepresentation of women’s work in philosophy, we encourage the participation of women authors. However, all submissions will receive blind review. For blind review, authors should not include their names or affiliations in the text.

Please send submissions as a single document prepared for blind review to [email protected] by January 1, 2018. For more information, please contact [email protected]
