CFP: 2018 Southeast Graduate Philosophy Conference

CALL FOR PAPERS

12th Annual Southeast Graduate Philosophy Conference (SEGPC)

 Friday, April 6th – Saturday, April 7th, 2018

Keynote Speaker: Richard Boyd

The Southeast Graduate Philosophy Conference is a national conference held annually since 2006 at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. Each conference has an invited keynote speaker as well as a capstone speaker drawn from the faculty at UF. Our capstone speaker will be our newest addition to the Department, Dr. Duncan Purves. Each paper accepted for presentation will be assigned a commentator. The conference is thus a great opportunity for graduate students to present their work and receive critical feedback in a professional venue.
