New Generation Research Exchange
\n\;Call for Applications \;
\nSummary \;
\nThe Humane Philosophy Society\, in collaboration the Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Warsaw\, Blackfriars Hall\, University of Oxford\, and Faculty of Philosophy\, Zagreb University invite applications for the New Generation Research Exchange programme. The Exchange programme will give young scholars in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) working on Big Questions of fundamental human importance the opportunity to participate in three fully funded workshops taking place at the Universities of Warsaw\, Zagreb and Oxford. Participants will have the further opportunity to apply to continue the research during a term of funded supervised research at the University of Oxford on the Marek Matraszek Fellowship. Participants&rsquo\; research projects will be assessed by an external committee after the final workshop takes place to determine possible supervisors for research visits to Oxford. The Fellowship will conclude with an alumni workshop in the summer of 2026 to take place in Trogir\, Croatia. \;

\nEligibility
\nApplicants will normally be MA or early PhD students at Central and Eastern European research institutions\, including universities\, research academies and seminaries\, or young scholars from CEE on equivalent degree programmes outside the region. The programme is intended to support research projects of successful candidates during the final year of their MA course\, or developing their MA research topics for publication\, or with a PhD application in mind\, as well as those beginning to work on a PhD. Proposed projects should broadly fall under the project themes\, which are outlined below. \; It is expected that most applications will be submitted by natural scientists\, theologians and philosophers\, but there are no disciplinary restrictions and applicants with academic backgrounds in other areas are also welcome. Applications are welcome from researchers working in any religious tradition\, and from researchers working in no religious tradition.
\nFor the purposes of the project\, Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is defined as: Albania\, Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, Belarus\, Bosnia and Herzegovina\, Bulgaria\, Croatia\, Czechia\, Estonia\, Georgia\, Hungary\, Kosovo\, Latvia\, Lithuania\, Moldova\, Montenegro\, North Macedonia\, Poland\, Romania\, Serbia\, Slovakia\, Slovenia and Ukraine.
\nActivities
\nSuccessful candidates will participate in a series of three masterclasses during the course of the programme. The meetings will take place over three days each at the Universities of Zagreb\, Warsaw\, and Oxford. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their work as a group and with invited mentors\, as well as participate in seminars led by prominent visiting speakers. The Fellowship will cover all the costs of participating in each masterclass including travel and accommodation. The fellowship will conclude with an alumni workshop in the summer of 2026 which will cover all participant costs except travel. The total value of the Fellowship is 4000 USD. \;
\nSelected participants will have a further opportunity to receive the Marek Matraszek Oxford Fellowship to complete their work during a term at Oxford University\, where they will be able to work closely with a secondary supervisor to advance their research. The funding for research visits at Oxford University will cover accommodation\, living costs\, college fees\, and supervision and have a total value of 3000 USD. \;
\nSupported Research Themes
\nThe programme will support research which engages with Big Questions of universal human importance. We are especially interested in research into fundamental issues which straddle boundaries between disciplines including philosophy\, psychology\, physical sciences\, social sciences\, theology\, literature and cultural studies. Applicants will be expected to engage with recent developments in their disciplines\, and demonstrate a high standard of academic rigor. Suitable topics include\, but are not limited to:
\n▪ The significance of theological traditions for scientific practice today\;
\n▪ The relations of brains\, minds and human persons\;

Dans cette optique\, nous cherchons à\; mettre en place un rendez-vous ré\;gulier pour en discuter les diffé\;rents interpré\;tations et aspects.
\nDu fait de l&rsquo\;é\;tendue de la francophonie\, ces sé\;minaires auront lieu en ligne. Leur principe sera le suivant : les participant-e-s auront tous et toutes pré\;alablement lu un article ou un chapitre ré\;cent\, lequel sera pré\;senté\; trè\;s rapidement par souci de prioriser les é\;changes (10 minutes) par son autrice ou auteur. À\; partir de celui-ci\, un-e membre du ré\;seau ouvrira (5 min) à\; un dé\;bat plus large afin de discuter\, outre l&rsquo\;article\, les diffé\;rents interpré\;tations et aspects de l&rsquo\;&oelig\;uvre d&rsquo\;Arendt (1h30).
\nProgramme 2026\nEn 2026\, nous proposons quatre sé\;ances ordinaires du sé\;minaire et une sé\;ance spé\;ciale : «\; Arendt et la science é\;conomique »\;\, «\; Arendt et le travail »\;\, «\; Liberté\;\, volonté\;\, politique »\;\, «\; Arendt et la violence »\;\, «\; Philosophie\, é\;ducation et politique »\;.
\nLe sé\;minaire est ouvert à\; toutes et tous sans inscription pré\;alable \; n&rsquo\;hé\;sitez pas à\; venir y assister et y participer. Les articles et textes discuté\;s sont disponibles sur le site du RAF. N&rsquo\;hé\;sitez pas non plus à\; nous contacter pour toute demande d&rsquo\;information complé\;mentaire.
\nLe RAF ?\nLe Ré\;seau Arendtien Francophone (RAF) se veut un espace divers et pluriel\, rassemblant une communauté\; de doctorant-e-s\, enseignant-e-s\, chercheurs/ses\, intellectuel-le-s et toute personne inté\;ressé\;e ou engagé\;e dans l'é\;tude et la diffusion de la pensé\;e d'Hannah Arendt en France et le monde francophone. À\; travers cette plateforme\, nous souhaitons favoriser les é\;changes intellectuels\, offrir une visibilité\; accrue aux travaux de recherche et cré\;er des liens solides entre francophones s'inté\;ressant à\; et puisant dans l'&oelig\;uvre de cette autrice majeure du XXe siè\;cle.
\nOutre l&rsquo\;organisation de ce sé\;minaire et d'é\;vè\;nements acadé\;miques lié\;s à\; la pensé\;e d'Arendt\, le ré\;seau actualise continuellement un site web qui met à\; disposition : une bibliographie des textes de langue franç\;aise consacré\;s à\; Arendt ou la mobilisant\, un annuaire des membres du ré\;seau\, un agenda des activité\;s francophones qui lui sont dé\;dié\;es et une lettre d'information mensuelle.

An International Centennial Conference UID:20260822T223054Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-757c47d5c7-djdpn TZID:Europe/Paris LOCATION:Roma\; Paris\; Boston\, Italy DESCRIPTION:Stanley Cavell at 100 \; An International Centennial Conference \; \;
Paris: \;4-5 June 2026 \;| Organized by Sandra Laugier\, Université\; Paris 1 Panthé\;on Sorbonne \; Rome: 8-9 June 2026 \;| Organized by Piergiorgio Donatelli\, Sapienza Università\; di Roma \; Boston: 23-24 October 2026 \;| Organized by Juliet Floyd\, Boston University \; \; \;
In 2026\, we mark the centenary of \;Stanley Cavell (1926&ndash\;2026)\, one of the \;most original and wide-ranging American philosophers of the twentieth century. Cavell&rsquo\;s work traversed traditional disciplinary boundaries&mdash\;engaging deeply with philosophy\, literature\, film\, opera\, psychoanalysis\, politics\, and both American and European traditions of thought. In the spirit of his intellectual breadth and transnational sensibility\, we are organizing a three-part international conference to celebrate his life\, work\, and legacy in Paris\, Rome\, and Boston.
\nWhy This Conference Matters
\nStanley Cavell transformed philosophy into an act of acknowledgment&mdash\;of self\, of others\, and of the everyday. His writings on skepticism\, language\, film\, and the ordinary remain vital at a time when trust in both language and human connection faces renewed challenges. From \;Must We Mean What We Say? \;to \;The Claim of Reason\, from \;The World Viewed \;to \;Pursuits of Happiness\, and through his readings of Emerson and Thoreau\, Cavell helped redefine the scope and style of philosophical writing and teaching.
\nHis engagement with Wittgenstein and Austin reinvigorated the ordinary language tradition\, while his interests in modernism\, cinema\, and American transcendentalism forged a philosophical voice that responded to&mdash\;and often transcended&mdash\;the academic context.
\nThis centennial conference will bring together philosophers\, literary scholars\, and critics to reflect on Cavell&rsquo\;s legacy and extend the conversations he began.
\nThis call for papers concerns all three installments&mdash\;Paris\, Rome\, and Boston&mdash\;of the Cavell at 100 conference.
\nSuggested Themes:
\nWe welcome proposals that engage with the following themes or propose new directions for exploring Cavell&rsquo\;s thought.
\nConference Foci:
\nParis will focus especially on Ordinary Language Philosophy\, Film\, and Popular Culture.
\nRome will center mainly on Ethics\, Politics\, and Forms of Life.
\nBoston will treat primarily Philosophy and Literature\, Tragedy\, Music\, and the Idea of America.
\nSome themes&mdash\;such as skepticism\, modernism\, the ordinary&mdash\;cut across all three conferences.

This bi-monthly seminar\, held in English on Fridays\, is designed for doctoral candidates\, postdoctoral fellows and early-career researchers working across the broad field of politics. The seminar adopts an interdisciplinary understanding of political theories\, encompassing political thought\, political and intellectual history\, political sociology\, political philosophy\, law and political science.
Each session follows a dual format:
- Methodological discussions\, based on the collective discussion of selected key readings circulated in advance\;
- Research presentations\, where participants can share and discuss their ongoing work in a supportive and constructive environment.
This seminar aims to promote intellectual exchange\, build connections among peers\, encourage methodological reflections\, and facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue\, among doctoral\, postdoctoral and early-career researchers working in the field of political studies. \;

&ldquo\;Political&rdquo\; in the contemporary sense\, and as bound by its disciplinary definitions in political science and political philosophy\, assigns societal categories\, forms of law and moralities to the edges or beyond the limits of what is political. Yet again\, these excluded categories are both legislated by the Political within its limits of &ldquo\;discursive legibility\,&rdquo\; in Judith Butler&rsquo\;s parlance\, and relegated to the realms of the pre-political (including anti-political\, non-political). The &ldquo\;beyond political&rdquo\; serves to constitute the political as its Other\, to be subjugated or negated by it\, but also to be kept at bay as the source of elemental revolt\, i.e.\, &ldquo\;prepolitical.&rdquo\; (27 July-31 July 2026)
\n"Realism\, Materialism\, Epistemology: What is Living and What is Dead in Contemporary Thought?\," is the title of a summer school\, part of the SMR Summer Institute in Stagira/Olympiada (Greece)\, scheduled for August 17&ndash\;23\, 2026. It will explore the 21st century provocations and challenges to the dominance of the poststructuralist epistem across the humanities\, social sciences\, political philosophy\, and beyond. \;
\nThe School of Materialist Research is pleased to announce the third edition of its Advanced Design Practices Summer Institute\, Living Design: Ontological Design Redux. The program is aimed at graduate students (Master&rsquo\;s and doctoral) and early-career researchers who wish to expand their creative and critical research on questions related to design\, calling for a fundamental rethinking and redoing of design praxis. The school is taught by internationally renowned faculty in design and the arts from Goldsmiths\, University of London (UK)\, Politecnico di Milano (Italy)\, Arizona State University (USA)\, and Sandberg Instituut (Netherlands).

The idea that social\, political and ethical values do and should influence science has become a mainstream position in philosophy of science. The main points of contention in the current discussion about values in science include identifying the right values\, the right ways to manage their role in science\, the right stakeholders to participate in the conversation\, and the right methods for fostering public participation.
\nWhile this is a flourishing research programme\, it overwhelmingly takes place in North America and Western Europe. And in the vast majority of it\, the assumed societal context is an Anglophone democracy. This limits the kinds of values included in the discussion and the modes by which those values are considered. Some philosophers of science have recently started paying attention to this bias and the lacunae it creates\, discussing\, for instance\, values in science in non-democratic contexts (Pulkkinen forthcoming 2026)\, science and democracy in light of theories of democracy that are not mainstream in anglophone academia (Hilligart &\; Wilholt forthcoming 2026)\, and the lack of philosophical discussions about scientific communities in subaltern regions (Gutié\;rrez Valderrama 2025). However\, our understanding of the full consequences of this bias is currently limited.
\nThe aim of this two-day workshop is to open up the discussion about values in science to include a broader range of values and approaches to value inclusion in science\, with case studies from a wider set of geographical locations. \;
\nThis is a pre-conference workshop just before ENPOSS 2026.

\n\;Four days. Four major debates. Four internationally renowned invited professors.
\nArtificial Intelligence is already transforming how we work\, learn\, create\, govern societies\, practise medicine\, and understand what it means to be human. But who benefits from this transformation&mdash\;and what might be lost along the way?
\nThis intensive four-session online course examines some of the most urgent ethical\, social\, scientific\, and political questions raised by AI. Each session combines an accessible lecture with a live debate featuring a leading international figure:
\n \;Daron Acemoglu &mdash\; MIT economist and 2024 Nobel Laureate
Democracy\, Work and Artificial Intelligence (25 August 2026)
\;Brian Greene &mdash\; Columbia University physicist\, bestselling author and co-founder of the World Science Festival
Knowledge\, Science\, Education and Artificial Intelligence (26 August 2026)
\;Roman V. Yampolskiy &mdash\; University of Louisville computer scientist and leading AI-safety researcher
Medicine\, Bias and Existential Risk of Artificial Intelligence (27 August 2026)
\;Fernando Ribeiro &mdash\; vocalist of Moonspell\, writer and poet
Arts\, Music and Artificial Intelligence (28 August 2026)
\;25&ndash\;28 August 2026
\;16:00&ndash\;18:00 New York | 13:00&ndash\;15:00 Los Angeles | 21:00&ndash\;23:00 Lisbon
\;Live online via Zoom
\;Designed for a general audience &mdash\; no previous technical or philosophical training is required.
\nAcross four evenings\, the course will address questions that increasingly shape our collective future:
\n&bull\; Can AI strengthen democracy&mdash\;or concentrate power?
&bull\; Will automation liberate workers&mdash\;or deepen inequality?
&bull\; Can AI genuinely produce knowledge and creativity?
&bull\; How should education respond to generative AI?
&bull\; Can medical AI improve human life without reproducing discrimination?
&bull\; Could advanced AI become uncontrollable?
&bull\; What happens to artists\, authorship and originality in an automated culture?
This is not simply a course about new technology. It is an opportunity to examine the political\, ethical and human choices that will determine how AI is developed&mdash\;and whose interests it will ultimately serve.
\n \;Registration and information:

\n\nSSRI\, Depression\, Phenomenology
\n\nPsychiatria Danubina\, ISSN 0353-5053
\n\nOver the past two decades the reception of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors has shifted. Early phenomenological work approached the drugs with cautious openness (Svenaeus\, 2006). Later empirical phenomenological studies documented a more troubled picture of emotional flattening and disconnection (Teal\, 2009). This shift runs parallel to the collapse of the serotonin hypothesis of depression in psychiatric research (Moncrieff et al.\, 2022). This issue invites short contributions examining this changing reception across philosophy\, history\, and clinical psychiatry.
\n\nTopics
\n\n- phenomenology and philosophy of depression and SSRIs
\n\n- historical analysis of SSRI reception since the 1990s
\n\n- critical reviews of the serotonin hypothesis
\n\n- clinical and psychiatric perspectives on SSRI efficacy
\n\n- bioethics and informed consent in antidepressant prescribing
\n\n- discontinuation and withdrawal research
\n\n- sociological and cultural analysis of antidepressant use
\n\n- gender and embodiment in depression and treatment
\n\n- patient narratives and qualitative studies of SSRI experience
\n\n- comparative approaches combining biochemical and phenomenological critique
\n\nRequirements
\n\n- length minimum 2 pages\, maximum 20 pages\, ideal length around 5 pages
\n\n- language English - citation style APA
\n\n- original\, unpublished work

\nTheme
\nMany of us theorise about groups to which we do not belong\, and about issues which seriously impact groups to which we do not belong. In this workshop we will explore questions around how this theorising should be done\, and whether/when such research should be avoided. \;
\nJust Theorising is a reading workshop on responsible and responsive philosophical research. Participants will discuss the epistemological and methodological issues surrounding theorising across social difference.
\nParticipants will discuss texts from social epistemology\, applied ethics\, and by marginalised people writing outside academia &ndash\; all \;of which suggest ways to approach (or not to approach) \;theorising across social difference. \;
\nOur aim is to improve our \;philosophical \;practice by thinking together. \;By approaching these questions collaboratively and openly\, we hope to improve the philosophical and ethical quality of \;our \;future work. \;
\nFormat
\nThis workshop involves one full day of discussions\, and an optional collaborative session the following morning. \;
\nThe main event \;will involve a series of \;reading-group-style sessions\, where participants discuss existing texts on workshop themes. \; \;
On the second day\, the organiser will be holding an optional session\, where we will design an online resource to aid others who want to investigate these issues themselves or organise similar events.
How to participate
\nBecause this workshop is discussion-based\, we are limited to 20 attendees. This means that if we have more than 20 interested \;applicants \;we will need to say &lsquo\;yes&rsquo\; \;to some applicants and &lsquo\;no&rsquo\; to others. \;We hope that we \;won&rsquo\;t \;have to turn anyone away\, but if we do\, this will be decided \;based on \;who will get the most out of the workshop \;(not \;who is the most successful philosopher!). \;Therefore\, we ask applicants to \;state \;why the workshop is appealing to them\, and how they feel it will be useful to them. \;We are looking for an honest statement of how the workshop might support your work\, we are not looking for \;competitive statements of \;academic credentials. \;
\nAccess Information
\nThis event was made possible by the Leverhulme Trust\, thanks to them for funding \;an \;Early Career Research Fellowship which includes this project. This event \;revives the approach and goals of a 2018 event of the same name\, organised by Nadia Mehdi and Rosa Vince. \;Thank you to Nadia for her hard work in the original workshop.

In an effort to support philosophers as they respond to emergent problems\, the APA and the AAPT have organized a free\, two-afternoon\, interactive Zoom forum for philosophy teachers to share and develop strategies for addressing student AI usage. Participants will meet virtually in groups to discuss AI in introductory and general education philosophy courses\, AI in student writing\, AI in online philosophy courses\, and AI in formal logic. \;Because these AI discussions will be philosophy-specific\, we believe they will be particularly productive.
\nEach of the four 90-minute sessions will have a moderator\, who will give a brief presentation before opening the floor\, and a scribe\, who will take notes for later distribution to participants who are registered for any of the four sessions. The format will aspire to the AAPT-style\, active-learning sessions of The Teaching Hub. The sessions will be discussions\, not lectures. The focus will be on crowdsourcing the successful ways in which philosophers have responded to AI in their courses.
\nYou can register for any or all of the four 90-minute discussions: \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \;

\nCFP:
\nSince the postmodern movements such as Pop and hyperrealist art or literary genres ̶ New Journalism and creative non-fiction questioned the status of the real and the imitated\, the concept of authenticity has called for a constant reevaluation. Walter Benjamin&rsquo\;s 1935 assumption that &ldquo\;the presence of the original is the prerequisite to the concept of authenticity&rdquo\; has been called into question with the corporate and advertising practice continually rebranding the concept of authenticity to suit mass consumers&rsquo\; needs. Why is it then that within the contemporary culture\, with modes of expressions such as irony\, cynicism and sarcasm strongly present\, the notions of authenticity and freedom are still heavily linked with spiritual awakening and happiness? To what extent do authenticity\, individuality and freedom function as mere commercial products and advertising slogans? Have they over time become shallow romantic ideals or do they still hold the substance to be discovered and implemented into one&rsquo\;s line of thinking and living? What makes freedom and authenticity creatively attractive to artists\, thinkers and spiritual teachers? Can authenticity be defined\, measured\, conceptualized in the contemporary context of relativism? What are the main dynamics between freedom and authenticity?
\n\nDuring the conference\, we strive to discuss the contemporary status of authenticity and freedom\, their interrelationship and their association with concepts such as sincerity\, individuality\, vulnerability\, creativity and many others.
\n\nWe invite researchers representing various academic disciplines: art\, film studies\, literature\, theatre studies\, media studies\, anthropology\, psychology\, sociology\, politics\, cognitive studies\, to name a few.
\n\nDifferent forms of presentations are encouraged\, including case studies\, theoretical inquiries\, personal reflections\, problem-oriented arguments\, comparative analyses and creative expressions.
\n\nWe will be happy to hear from experienced scholars and young academics\, doctoral and graduate students\, as well as professionals from various disciplines. We also invite all persons interested in participating in the conference as listeners\, without giving a presentation.
\n\nOur repertoire of suggested topics includes but is not restricted to: \;
\n\nI. \;Sociology\, Anthropology\, History
\n\nGlobal and local authenticity
\nQuest for authenticity in the context of social and historical crisis
\nFreedom and coronavirus pandemic
\nII. Psychology and Psychiatry
\n\n\;Authenticity and self-growth
\n\;Authenticity and emotional armory &ndash\; perfectionism\, numbing\, etc.
\n\;Authenticity and shame
\n\;Authenticity and vulnerability
\n\;Authenticity and self-image
\n\;Authenticity and individuality: self-absorption versus self-confrontation \;
\nIII. \;Literature\, Film\, Theatre\, Visual Arts

\nGhostwriting
\nAuthenticity and autofiction
\nAuthenticity and creativity
\nAuthenticity and adaptation
\nOnline theatre performances during COVID-19
\nIV. \;Media Studies
\n\nFake news

\nIn the wake of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami\, artists attempt to explore ways to present the motif of &ldquo\;3/11&rdquo\; beyond geographic confinement&mdash\;beyond Japan. Given restricted access to the nuclear zone\, how do artists respond to &ldquo\;3/11&rdquo\; without direct physical proximity to Fukushima? How do overseas Japanese artists represent what took place back in their homeland? How do people outside Japan gain the access to experience and respond to &ldquo\;3/11&rdquo\;? To grapple with this representational dilemma of &ldquo\;here and there\,&rdquo\; this paper looks at the performance art of the contemporary Japanese artist Ei Arakawa&mdash\;Does This Soup Taste Ambivalent? (2014). In this conceptual project\, he attempted to mediate a geographic gap between New York (where he works) and Fukushima (where he comes from). He also intended to reach a geographical balance between Fukushima and the international audience by bringing his family to Frieze London. In dialogue with Does This Soup Taste Ambivalent?\, this paper brings comparative examples of Rirkrit Tiravanija&rsquo\;s installation Untitled (Free/Still) (2007) and the socially engaged art piece Conflict Kitchen (2010). This paper attempts to extend the metaphor of a geographic boundary to invisible yet crucial boundaries among people\, and to further spatialize what Nicolas Bourriaud regards as relational aesthetics. Visual representations of &ldquo\;here and there&rdquo\; can thus be thematically translated into a rendering of boundaries between artists and spectators/participants\, between social environment and human beings and between different ethnic groups. Moreover\, this paper examines the instrumental role of food in performance art. With the same incorporation of food\, these works take advantage of the taste to unite people from different backgrounds\, and to provide a corporeal medium to raise concerns for nuclear radiation and safety. The remediation of food\, in art practice and social media\, further produces a micro-social and micro-political narrative to think of food safety\, human safety\, and community conflicts.
\nAbstract in Japanese (if needed): 「あちらとこちら」：現代パフォーマンス・アートにおける食、安全、そしてコミュニティ 要旨では、2011年の東日本大震災と津波のあと、アーティストたちが 「3/11」を日本の外でどう表現するか を考える研究だと説明されています。特に、福島に直接近づけない状況で、アーティストはどう反応するのか、海外にいる日本人アーティストは故郷で起きたことをどう表すのか、日本の外にいる人はどうやってその出来事に触れ、応答するのか、という問いが立てられています。中心事例として扱われるのは、Ei Arakawa の Does This Soup Taste Ambivalent? (2014) です。要旨によれば、この作品は ニューヨークと福島の地理的な隔たりを媒介しようとした企画として読まれています。比較される例として、Rirkrit Tiravanija の Untitled (Free/Still) (2007) と、社会参加型アートの Conflict Kitchen (2010) も挙げられています。福島の出来事を、食べ物を使ったアートで世界の人にどう伝えるかを考える発表です。 そして、食べ物は人をつなぐだけでなく、安全や不安、社会の対立について考えさせる力を持つ、というのがポイントです。

\nSein und Zeit Today: Relevance and Resonance
\n(Padua\, February 17-19\, 2027)
\nWe are pleased to share the call for abstracts for the conference Sein und Zeit Today: Relevance and Resonance\, organized by the Centro Studi di Critica Heideggeriana (CSCH) on the occasion of the centenary of the publication of Being and Time by Martin Heidegger. The conference will take place from February 17 to 19\, 2027\, at the FISPPA Department of the University of Padua.
\nIn a context that has long been active in Heidegger studies\, the conference aims to bring into dialogue some of the most authoritative voices in the current debate on Heidegger&rsquo\;s work and thought across different philosophical traditions and geographical contexts. Alongside contributions from invited speakers in the regular sessions (Hiroshi Abe\, Francesco Camera\, Paola-Ludovika Coriando\, Costantino Esposito\, Giuliana Gregorio\, Servanne Jollivet\, Giusi Strummiello\, Mark Wrathall\, Holger Zaborowski) and a panel dedicated to the work of the Paduan philosopher Franco Volpi (&ldquo\;Being and Time&rdquo\;: A Practical Philosophy? Interpretative Perspectives in Dialogue with Franco Volpi\, with guest interventions from Jesú\;s Adriá\;n Escudero\, Adriano Fabris\, and Carlo Scilironi)\, the event will include parallel sessions featuring presentations selected through this call for abstracts. Proposed abstracts should focus on the relevance of Being and Time for contemporary thought\, a theme that applicants are encouraged to address from multiple perspectives.
\nThe guiding idea of the conference is to foster engagement with a classic text of twentieth-century philosophy by rereading it from the standpoint of the present and by relating the fundamental questions that run through Heidegger&rsquo\;s masterpiece to the concerns of an era &ndash\; our own &ndash\; shaped by radically transformed conceptual horizons and frameworks of thought. In this perspective\, the call invites contributions that critically engage with Being and Time in light of the questions the text continues to raise one hundred years after its publication. We welcome proposals that explore the relevance of Heidegger&rsquo\;s analyses in relation to themes such as existence\, temporality\, finitude\, historicity\, understanding\, language\, body\, being\, and instrumentality\, bringing these into dialogue with contemporary problems\, trajectories\, and fields of research. The aim is to encourage dialogue among different traditions of thought that have found in Being and Time a major source of inspiration &ndash\; such as hermeneutics\, existential philosophy\, and phenomenology of embodiment &ndash\; or that have engaged with it in original ways\, such as certain areas of analytic philosophy and pragmatism.
\nTo submit a proposal\, applicants are required to send\, no later than August 30\, 2026\, a title and an anonymized abstract in English\, Italian\, or German (max. 3\,000 characters\, including spaces)\, addressing Being and Time and its relevance today. Presentations will be delivered in the same language chosen for the abstract. Please also attach\, in a separate file\, a brief biographical note (max. 150 words). The expected duration of each presentation is 20 minutes\, followed by a 10-minute discussion.
\nThe results of the selection process\, conducted by the selection committee\, will be announced on September 30\, 2026.
\nAll materials must be sent by email to: seinundzeit2027@virgilio.it

The behaviour of quantum systems is said to be random\, the outcomes of quantum mechanical experiments are said to be random\, certain devices based on quantum processes are said to operate in a random way&hellip\; However\, the concept of randomness is rarely made precise in these contexts. Meanwhile\, in another branch of science &ndash\; computability theory\, also called recursion theory &ndash\; a fully precise concept of randomness has been developed\, termed &ldquo\;algorithmic randomness&rdquo\;. How are these two uses of the term &ldquo\;randomness&rdquo\; related? Is the concept of algorithmic randomness relevant to Quantum Mechanics? The aim of this workshop is to address various facets of this question in an interdisciplinary gathering. The event will take place at the Jagiellonian University in Krakó\;w on August 31st and September 1st\, 2026. The format of the workshop will be hybrid: it is possible to participate either in person or online (but the organizers strongly encourage in-person participation).

\nEditor: Ted Nannicelli (The University of Queensland\, Australia)
\nSince the publication of a 2023 issue of The Polish Journal of Aesthetics on the topic of &lsquo\;Art\, Aesthetics\, and Artificial Intelligence\,&rsquo\; questions about the implications of generative AI for the creation and appreciation of art have become increasingly pressing. In that issue of the PJA\, and in other scholarly journals\, philosophers and theorists have been wrestling with puzzling questions about what the prevalence of generative AI might mean for how we think about the definition of art\, the ontology of art\, the nature of creativity\, and the role of intentionality in artmaking.
\nAt the same time\, we have begun to see the emergence of a new cluster of questions about the ethical dimensions of the use of generative AI in our creative and appreciative practices. Regarding the creative side of things\, scholars and critics have asked whether generative AI might imperil traditional forms of artistic labor\, appropriate existing artworks and/or styles of individual artists\, threaten to reproduce biases and reinforce existing structures of social inequality\, or result in a kind of aesthetic de-skilling. Regarding appreciative matters\, we might wonder about the ethical implications of offloading to recommendation algorithms our decisions about what sorts of movies or music to experience\, or about what sorts of virtues of characters might be threatened if the object of our appreciation has been created not by another human but by generative AI.
\nThis issue of The Polish Journal of Aesthetics aims to bring together these two strands of inquiry. We invite scholars to submit papers that examine any of the various ethical dimensions of AI art\, including but not limited to:
\nSubmission deadline: 31 August\, 2026.

\nWe invite the submission of extended abstracts (but no longer than 1000 words) for presentations at the international conference on &ldquo\;Relational Normativity: Epistemic and Practical&rdquo\; that takes place at the University of Zurich from 18th to 20th February 2027. The abstracts should be sent to sebastian.schmidt@uzh.ch until August 31st 2026.
\nThe conference will host a series of renowned experts from ethics and epistemology to discuss the role of relational normativity across philosophical disciplines. If your talk gets accepted\, travel expenses\, including up to three nights at a central hotel in Zurich\, flight and train tickets\, as well as lunch and dinner\, will be covered. We also plan a follow-up project such as an edited volume with a major publisher or a special issue for an academic journal. Accepted talks will be invited as contributions to this follow-up project.
\nA recent trend in epistemology is to borrow ethical concepts to think about epistemic normativity. Maybe most notably\, the concept of epistemic injustice is meant to track the wrong that is done to someone in their capacity as a knower (Fricker 2007). More recently\, the idea that there is something we epistemically owe to each other (cf. Basu 2019) is taking hold. Epistemologists defend the idea that there is a distinctively epistemic kind of accountability and blame (Kauppinen 2018\; Brown 2020\; Boult 2020\; 2024)\, that we expect each other to meet our epistemic obligations to believe or know (Goldberg 2018)\, and that we owe epistemic redress (Hull 2019)\, atonement (Woodard 2023)\, or reparations (Altanian 2022\; Lackey 2022) to those we epistemically wronged\, who might then decide to epistemically forgive us (Green 2024). This has led some epistemologists to propose more fundamentally social meta-epistemologies (Dyke 2022\; Fleisher 2024\; Hannon &\; Woodard 2025)\, even proposing that epistemic normativity has relational foundations (Boult 2024).
\nWhile epistemologists take inspiration from the work of ethicists to develop their ideas on epistemic relationality\, the above literature develops largely in isolation from broader engagement with the recent ethical discussions on the relational structure of morality. Relational ethics has focused mostly on the explanation of our moral obligations to one another\, where obligations are typically understood as the correlates of rights or similar claims. To be under a moral obligation\, on this view\, is to be under a directed or second-personal duty to another person which is constitutively connected to the claim-right that this person has on you (e.g. Darwall 2006\, Wallace 2019\, Zylberman 2021). The relational understanding of morality illuminates the social significance of morality and the commonly held assumption that morality is grounded in relations of accountability and that moral wrongness warrants blame.
\nThe pioneering work and ongoing research by ethicists should be studied closely for the transposition of ethical concepts into epistemology to be intelligible and bear philosophical fruit. The aim of this conference is to bring together these two perspectives with a focus on discussing foundational issues surrounding relational normativity. Questions that will be discussed may include the following:

It profoundly influenced the development of 20th century philosophy of science. HPS departments and postgraduate programmes have been established worldwide\, while various HPS conferences have been running regularly. However\, HPS in the East is still underdeveloped. To be fair\, philosophy of science in East Asia is not as well developed as it might seem. For example\, in China\, philosophy of science is even sometimes conflated with analytic philosophy. This workshop series aims to advance and promote the research of HPS in the East. It will bring together philosophers of science and historians of science in the East to promote the dialogue across the boundaries with an aim to reflect on the nature\, methodology\, and development of HPS and explore new HPS approaches.

\nThis sixth edition of the Existential Philosophy for Times of Change and Crisis series seeks contributions exploring issues surrounding identity and community in times of uncertainty.
\nWriting in the aftermath of the Second World War\, Simone de Beauvoir&rsquo\;s existential ethics centred around the ambiguity of the human condition. Her work critiques traditional ethical frameworks subsuming plurality and ambiguity under the generalisations of normative concepts and practices. Ethics\, she argues\, should enable individuals to assume this ambiguity and plurality\, mindful of the diversity of our human condition. \;Ethics of Ambiguity\, \;notably\, strives to demonstrate how existentialism can be and indeed is inherently moral or social. Beauvoir appeals to us to recognise our freedom and responsibility\, yet at the same time highlights the limits of this freedom in situations of oppression\, and that this freedom is the most precarious in times of &lsquo\;uncertainty&rsquo\;&mdash\;where &lsquo\;crushed by present events\, [one] loses one&rsquo\;s way before the darkness of a future haunted by frightening spectres: war\, illness\, revolution\, fascism.&rsquo\;
\nBeauvoir&rsquo\;s existential ethics sought to respond to the challenges addressed to existentialism\, accused of miserabilism and solipsism. This conference seeks develop on Beauvoir&rsquo\;s works and legacy and those of her contemporaries\, and to explore the resources available within existential philosophy for rethinking the role of identity and community in times of uncertainty and crisis. Does the focus that existential philosophy places on the singular individual impede the construction of community? Does existentialism provide tools for articulating situations of oppression\, and navigating hostile environments? Does it provide guidance for concrete forms of action and activism\, and paths for navigating the uncertainty in the contemporary world?
\nContributions should engage with current issues from the perspectives of thinkers in existential philosophy and phenomenology\, such as Albert Camus\, Theodor Adorno\, Simone Weil\, Emil Cioran\, Simone de Beauvoir\, Jean-Paul Sartre\, Karl Jaspers\, Hannah Arendt\, Martin Heidegger\, and their nineteenth-century predecessors (Kierkegaard\, Nietzsche\, Stirner&hellip\;). \;

It was indeed marginalized and forgotten in the Romantic and modernist periods haunted by the myth of originality. Yet\, in recent years\, scholars across the humanities\, social sciences\, and even the neurosciences\, have returned to the ancient\, yet strikingly contemporary\, realization that humans are an imitative species\, or homo mimeticus (www.homomimeticus.eu).
\nTaking the study of all too human\, posthuman\, and nonhuman forms of imitation beyond its traditional confines within aesthetic realism and mimetic desires\, influential figures in continental philosophy (Nancy\, Malabou)\, literary theory (Miller)\, feminism (Cavarero\, Butler)\, political theory (Connolly)\, New Materialism (Bennet)\, posthuman studies (Hayles)\, history of psychology (Borch-Jacobsen)\, the neurosciences (Gallese) and more\, have joined forces across disciplines to promote a &ldquo\;mimetic (re-)turn&rdquo\; attentive to the relational\, embodied\, plastic\, contagious\, resonant\, and mirroring (im)properties of a chameleon species (see for instance Homo Mimeticus and Homo Mimeticus II).
\nThe goal of this speical issue of Tró\;pos: Journal of Hermeneutics and Philosophical Critique \;is to engage productively\, critically and creatively with the mimetic (re-)turn to both deepen and further the transdisciplinary field of mimetic studies. Please familiarize yourself with this field first via the links above first as we look for contributions that are explicitly positioned within mimetic studies. We are especially interested in the contemporary conceptual masks of mimesis that enable us to further explore the two &ldquo\;faces&rdquo\; of mimesis that go beyond good and evil: understood as a vibrant affect that destabilizes the boundaries of individuation\, mimesis on the one hand generates life-negating pathologies and\, on the other hand\, produces life-affirmative patho-logies. We welcome contributions to new mimetic studies across different disciplines and theoretical schools\, including but not limited to:
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Modernist mimesis (phantom egos\, homo duplex\, crowd behavior)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Mimicry\, interculturality\, decolonization
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Postmodernist mimesis (pastiche\, intertextuality\, simulation)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Mimesis in postcritique &\; affect theory (identification\, apprehension\, attunement)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; (New) fascist mimesis (myth\, disinformation\, post-truth)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Mimetic posthumanism (hypermimesis\, AI simulations\, homo mimeticus 2.0)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; After post-poststructuralist mimesis (Derrida\, Irigaray\, Lacoue-Labarthe\, Nancy\, Lawtoo)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Mimicry after Critical Theory (Benjamin\, Adorno\, Fromm\, Jameson)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Hermeneutics and Mimesis (Heidegger\, Gadamer\, Vattimo)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; New materialist mimesis (contagion\, influx &\; efflux\, entangled humanism\, &ldquo\;flesh&rdquo\;)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Gendered mimesis &\; mimetic inclinations (Irigaray\, Butler\, Cavarero\, Ahmed)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Mimetic resonance (Rosa)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Imitation &\; neuroscience (mirror neurons\, plasticity\, epigenetic mimesis)
\n- \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Mimesis and (literary) selfhood (life writing\, autofiction\, relating narratives\, autotheory)

\nPhilosophical Counselor
\n(Filozofski savjetnik)
\n\nInterdisciplinary Journal for Practical Philosophy\, Psychotherapy and Philosophy of Health
\n\nABOUT THE JOURNAL
\nPhilosophical Counselor (Filozofski savjetnik in Croatian) is an international peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to fostering interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary dialogue between the humanities and biomedical sciences. The journal provides an academic platform for exploring theoretical and practical intersections of philosophy and mental health\, while simultaneously promoting the popularization of philosophical expertise beyond narrow academic frameworks into domains of care\, support\, and the advancement of life harmony as a working virtue.
\n\n\nSCOPE AND FOCUS
\n\nThe journal welcomes scholarly contributions addressing the following primary domains:
\nPhilosophical Practice and Applied Ethics: Investigations of methodologies\, ethical frameworks\, and applications of philosophical inquiry in individual and group settings\, with particular attention to the practical implementation of philosophical counseling and consultation.
\nPhilosophy of Psychotherapy: Critical examinations of the ontological and epistemological foundations of various therapeutic and psychiatric models\, including comparative analyses of different psychotherapeutic schools and their underlying philosophical assumptions.
\nPhenomenology\, Lifeworld and the Body: Investigations into classical phenomenological themes &mdash\; the structure of experience\, intersubjectivity\, embodiment\, temporality\, and the lifeworld. Papers that continue the tradition of Continental philosophy and bring it into dialogue with contemporary questions about human existence\, perception\, space\, and everyday life.
\nPhenomenology of Psychopathology and Philosophy of Health: Research exploring the lived experience of mental difficulties and analyses of consciousness structures in clinical contexts\, as well as broader philosophical investigations into concepts of health\, illness\, and well-being.
\nBiomedical Humanities: Integration of philosophical\, social\, and cultural perspectives within medical practice and theory\, addressing the ethical\, existential\, and social dimensions of healthcare.
\nMetaphilosophical Investigations: Reflections on the nature\, methods\, and boundaries of philosophy itself\, particularly as it relates to practical and clinical applications.
\n\nWhile these domains constitute the journal's primary focus\, Philosophical Counselor actively encourages submissions that extend beyond these boundaries and explore innovative intersections between philosophy and related disciplines. The journal is committed to supporting academics and students in publishing original work that advances scholarly discourse and fosters meaningful collaborations across disciplinary lines. Contributions addressing themes in philosophical theology\, traditional phenomenology\, religious studies\, philosophical anthropology\, bioethics\, neuroethics\, philosophy of mind\, philosophy of medicine\, narrative medicine\, medical humanities\, existential psychology\, philosophical pedagogy\, social philosophy\, philosophy of disability\, philosophy for children\, and philosophy of care are equally welcomed for consideration. The editorial board particularly values interdisciplinary work that challenges conventional categorizations and opens new avenues for theoretical and practical inquiry. Scholars working at the margins of established fields or developing novel methodological approaches are encouraged to submit their work\, as the journal seeks to serve as a platform for intellectual innovation and the cultivation of scholarly networks that transcend traditional academic boundaries.

Perspectives Series 01 UID:20260822T223130Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-757c47d5c7-djdpn TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY IS NOT AUTOMATION.
IT IS ANTICIPATION.
ETHICS Lab Press is opening the Call for Chapters for the inaugural volume of the Perspectives series.
We are looking for diagnostic philosophy on anticipatory systems\, delegation\, frictionless environments\, AI\, urban space\, embodiment\, and technological mediation.
Not literature reviews.
Conceptual pressure.
Selected contributions will form a curated international volume exploring the transformation of human agency under anticipatory technological conditions.
Jan Grzanka\, editor of the biannual scientific journal &lsquo\;Universitas Gedanensis&rsquo\;\, together with Elżbieta Mikiciuk\, invite you to contribute to the next issue of the journal entitled &lsquo\;Mysticism of Open Eyes&rsquo\;.
\nThe motto of the issue is André\; Malraux's words: &lsquo\;The 21st century will be mystical... or it will not be.&rsquo\; We do not interpret them as a striking metaphor\, but as a diagnosis of the times. If Christianity is to survive\, it cannot be an escape from the world\, a form of spiritual escapism. The concept of &lsquo\;mysticism of open eyes&rsquo\;\, developed by Johann Baptist Metz\, means mysticism that does not separate itself from reality\, focused on private spiritual experience\, but is sensitive to suffering\, seeing the faces of others. It is a mysticism of compassio\, compassionate\, especially present with those who have been hurt and concerned about the justice they expect.
\nToday\, in an age of violence\, inequality and new forms of exclusion\, indifference has become one of the most dangerous temptations of &lsquo\;disembodied&rsquo\; and individualistic spirituality\, a pseudo-mysticism that not only replaces shallow religiosity\, but leads faith astray. &lsquo\;Open Eyes&rsquo\; is a protest against a misunderstood path of mystical contemplation. Mysticism will either become a sensitive\, loving presence in the world\, attentive to human beings and all living creatures\, or it will lose itself in non-existence. If the 21st century is not mystical in this sense\, it will become spiritually dead and helpless in the face of apatheism.
\nThe editors plan to publish two issues of the journal\, which will then be used as the basis for a book to be published by the Krakow Society of Authors and Publishers of Scientific Works &lsquo\;Universitas&rsquo\;. For several years now\, a series of publications has been appearing\, based on articles published in the Universitas Gedanensis journal\, supplemented with additional materials and published under the collective title Bibliotheca Culturae Scriptae (Library of Written Culture).
\nEach volume of the series is planned as a separate collective work\, edited by Dr Jan Grzanka and an expert in the field invited to collaborate. In the edition &lsquo\;Mysticism of Open Eyes&rsquo\;\, the co-editor of the volume is Prof. Elżbieta Mikiciuk\, PhD\, from the University of Gdańsk.
\nAll information about the journal and the publishing series is available at: universitasgedanensis.com.pl. The tabs &lsquo\;For authors&rsquo\;\, &lsquo\;Reviewing guidelines&rsquo\; and &lsquo\;Publication ethics guidelines&rsquo\; contain detailed guidelines for publishing articles in &lsquo\;UniversitasGedanensis&rsquo\;.

\nEdited by Christine Tappolet and Christian Nadeau
\nThe Centre de recherche en é\;thique (CRÉ\;) invites you to submit a manuscript for publication in the first special issue of its new journal Res Practica\, to be launched formally in the Fall of 2026 and which will replace Les Ateliers de l'é\;thique / The Ethics Forum. This special issue aims to explore the plurality of forms that responsibility takes in our individual\, social\, and institutional practices. Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives by bringing together expertise in moral and political philosophy\, political science\, and legal theory\, our objective is to examine the concepts of moral responsibility\, political responsibility\, and legal responsibility.
\nWe especially welcome contributions that interrogate the points of convergence and divergence between these different kinds of responsibility: their foundations\, their attribution criteria\, their functions within our normative practices\, and the tensions they may generate in contemporary contexts.
\nAs the journal is fully bilingual\, submissions may be in either French or English. The articles will be accompanied by a short abstract in the other language.
\nWe invite the submission of research articles (8\,000 to 12\,000 words) addressing questions related to moral\, political\, and legal responsibility\, as well as issues at the intersection of these fields\, including but not limited to the themes listed below:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Moral agency\, psychological capacities\, and responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Responsibility attributions\, reactive attitudes\, and emotions
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Responsibility\, blame\, and punishment
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Defenses and apologies
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Responsibility for non-voluntary attitudes (beliefs\, emotions\, etc.)
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Moral constructivism and moral responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Disagreements in responsibility attributions and the question of relativism
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Legal responsibility: criminal vs. civil
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Moral guilt and legal guilt
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Punishment and liability
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Legal doctrines of control\, fault\, and risk
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Corporate responsibility and institutional responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The responsibility gap and artificial intelligence
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Punishment and responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Collective and individual responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Collective agency and excuses
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Political responsibility vs. social responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Tensions between moral and legal responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Reducing one kind of responsibility to another
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Collective and individual responsibility
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Group agency and intentionality
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Responsibility toward future generations
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The political responsibility of states and social responsibility
\n\;
\nSubmission Guidelines
\n\;Submitted manuscripts may be in French or English. They should be between 8\,000 and 12\,000 words\, including references and footnotes. Manuscripts must be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 200 words and must be anonymized in preparation for double-blind peer review.
\nManuscripts must be submitted by email to aeef@umontreal.ca no later than August 31\, 2026.
\nAbout Res Practica
\nThe aim of Res Practica is to create a space for fruitful exchange between experts from a variety of disciplines whose work focuses on\, or has implications for\, ethical\, political\, and more broadly normative questions. One important goal is to further our understanding of practical problems that confront both individuals and societies by uncovering philosophical assumptions often left implicit. Another goal is to encourage exploration of innovative solutions to normative dilemmas that confront individuals and societies\, in order to provide original and informed ethical guidelines and public policies. Res Practica will invite authors to reach across traditional disciplinary divides\, and to explore the multiple ways in which experts from a variety of academic disciplines\, including but not restricted to moral and political philosophy\, applied ethics\, political sciences\, and law\, can cast mutually enriching light upon pressing practical questions. Res Practica is also committed to promoting exchanges between experts writing in different languages. While we will begin with English and French\, we hope\, over time\, to broaden the range of linguistic traditions that can find a home in our pages.
\nRes Practica&rsquo\;s editors in chief are Christine Tappolet (Université\; de Montré\;al)\, Daniel Weinstock (McGill University) and Samuel Dishaw (UCLouvain).

For example\, presentations might discuss (but are not limited to): the epistemology of inquiry\, the metaphysics of inquiry\, ethical norms of inquiry\, historical perspectives on inquiry\, or the structure of scientific inquiry.
We aim to foster the sharing of ideas in an inclusive\, welcoming and low-pressure environment. Papers that are already accepted for publication will not be accepted. We aim to be sensitive to the needs of early-career scholars.
The group meets biweekly on Zoom during each of the Fall and Spring semesters.

Special consideration is given to finding a meeting time that works for presenters of accepted papers.
