CFP: Georgia Philosophical Society: 2022 Spring Conference

Georgia Philosophical Society

2022 Spring Conference at the University of Georgia

Call for Abstracts

Over the past year, the Georgia Philosophical Society has hosted online workshops on issues in today’s turbulent world. These were a great success in terms of the number and quality of submissions, the size and diversity of the audience, and the liveliness of the discussions. This spring, we look forward to continuing this exchange of ideas. We plan to hold an in-person conference at the University of Georgia. However, if the need arises, we will move to a virtual format.

The main conference will take place on Saturday, June 4th with an undergraduate session on the afternoon of Friday, June 3rd. The conference will include plenary sessions with commentators on presentations, as well as smaller, workshop-style sessions.

We invite abstract submissions exploring any philosophical topic from professional philosophers (an academic appointment in a philosophy department is not necessary) and graduate students working in philosophy. Membership in the Georgia Philosophical Society is not required. If you would like your presentation to be considered for the plenary sessions, please denote this in your abstract. Authors whose abstracts are selected for a plenary presentation should be prepared to submit full papers no less than one week prior to the conference.

We also invite full-paper submissions of no longer than 3,000 words from undergraduate philosophy students for the Friday evening workshop session.

The deadline for submitting abstracts (200-300 words) or papers (3000 words) is March 31, 2022. Please send an email including with your name, institution (if applicable), current position, title of your presentation, and an abstract to [email protected]. Please use as your subject line: GPS Abstract Submission. Undergraduates, please use: GPS Undergraduate Paper Submission
