Philosophy Conferences and Calls for Papers

Papers on any philosophical topic are welcome. Our symposium provides a professional style philosophical forum for aspiring undergraduates to present significant and original work. All papers will be evaluated by blind review process. At the conference, a judge from a university with important graduate program will determine the top three presentations.

Please submit:
• A computer file of the paper in MS Word (papers accepted for the conference will be posted on the web); and
• two copies of each of the following: the paper, an abstract, and a separate cover sheet

Papers should be designed for a 20 minute presentation time [approximately 10 pages].

Eligibility: any undergraduate student who does not have an undergraduate degree prior to May 1, 2008.

Abstracts should be attached to the paper, should be one paragraph, double spaced, no more than 150 words. These abstracts should not contain the author’s name or institutional affiliation, since they will be evaluated in a blind review process.

Cover sheets should be on a separate sheet, and should contain the title of the paper, the author’s name, and the author’s institutional affiliation, address, e-mail address, and phone number.

All submissions must be postmarked by Monday, September 24, 2007. Acceptance notification will occur by October 15, 2007
