Call for Proposals:

Sessions, Panels, Papers

 

The Philosophy and Culture Area is a welcoming and inclusive group which seeks any and all papers and panel discussions that explore the intersection of philosophy and culture.  We typically run 8 or more sessions each year. We are going to have a number of panel discussions as well. Please submit your panel discussion name as a panel in the submission process. All philosophical approaches are welcome. Non-philosophers must make clear the connection of their project to the philosophical tradition.

 

Given recent events, and the location of this year’s conference, we encourage submissions on hot-button topics concerning the Philosophy and Culture of New Orleans life, local politics, public education, police, the legal system, labor relations, and others that come to mind are most welcome.

 

Please submit an abstract of your paper or discussion panel of no more than 200 words (including presentation title) and complete contact information (name, institutional affiliation, mail and e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers). You must be a member of the PCA to submit an abstract. ONLY abstracts submitted through the PCA/ACA website may be considered for inclusion in the conference program.

 

A Note on Undergraduate Submissions:

Philosophy and Culture accepts individual undergraduate submissions and discussion panel proposals. At the conference these sessions will be chaired by an Area Chair or, in the case of a group from one institution, a supervising faculty member. Chairs and faculty are happy to mentor students. Any help needed will be given to make your presentation the most beneficial. Let the chair know if you need anything: Christopher M. Innes, cinnes@boisestate.edu.
