CFP: TOP Undergraduate Journal of Philosophy

The Other Philosopher is an international undergraduate journal dedicated to empowering underrepresented voices in philosophy.

We are currently seeking submissions for the Fall 2018 issue of the journal. Papers can be written on any topic, but we encourage work that engages with women and minority philosophers or in other ways explores the relationships between philosophical methodology, medium, and inclusiveness.

The deadline to submit papers has been extended through November 1, 2018!

Submit through our website at https://womenofphilosophy.wixsite.com/wop-journal/submit or by email to [email protected]. If submitting by email, be sure to remove all identifying information from the submission and include it either in the body of the email or in a separate attachment.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

We accept:

• submissions of any length up to 4,000 words.

• mostly traditional academic essays, but also any other writing form that serves a work's philosophical content:

  • Poetry

  • Fiction

  • Mixed Media

  • etc.

• submissions from anyone who has not attended graduate school in philosophy (this includes current undergraduates and authors who are not affiliated with an educational institution)

• submissions with multiple authors

• submissions in languages other than English: we will publish English translations alongside the original work

We are looking for submissions that:

• engage with philosophy written by women and minorities

• confront the parochialism of mainstream history of philosophy, either through direct criticism or by presenting alternative narratives

• discuss diversity-related issues in academic philosophy's established practices, institutions, and communities

• disturb traditional metaphilosophical boundaries (i.e. between continental and analytic philosophy)

• take risks with medium and methodology
