CFP: The 24th Annual Oxford Philosophy Graduate Conference

We welcome submissions from all graduate students in philosophy for the 24th Annual Oxford Philosophy Graduate Conference.

Update: In light of the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we have decided to postpone our conference which was originally scheduled to take place on 14-15th November 2020. The new date of the conference will be 6-7th February 2021. The submission date (3rd August 2020) remains unchanged.

The University of Oxford’s Annual Graduate Philosophy Conference enjoys a reputation as one of the most prestigious philosophy conferences at the graduate level in the United Kingdom.

Papers can be on any topic in philosophy. We aim to represent a broad range of philosophical debates and traditions in our final selection, across areas of both theoretical and practical philosophy.

Each student presentation will be followed by a response from a member of the Oxford Philosophy Faculty. 

All submissions will undergo a double-blind review process.

For submission details, see below.
