CFP: Third Annual Philosophy
Student Conference at Dowling College
(Oakdale, Long
Island, New York, April 6, 2013)
Sponsored by the Forum for Advanced Studies Gaetanno Massa, Rome,
Italy
In order to increase
student awareness of and interest in philosophy, and to encourage contributions
to the scholarly community, Dowling College Department of Philosophy and
Religious Studies invites students to submit papers relating to any
philosophical topic or period. Authors of accepted papers will be given the
opportunity to present their work at Dowling College’s third annual philosophy
student conference. Now extended to first and second-year graduate students!
Deadline for
Submissions: January 5, 2013
Submission
Guidelines:
1. Although papers
must relate to a philosophical topic or period, that does not mean that other
areas, such as psychology, sociology, neurology, biology, etc., are excluded.
As long as the paper engages with its topic in a philosophical manner you are
more than welcome to submit the paper. Presenters should plan on having 20
minutes to present their work (approx. 10-12 pages long). Time limits will be
strictly enforced.
2. Attach a copy of
your submission in .pdf, .doc, or .docx format to an email, and send it to dowlingphilconference@gmail.com. Within
the email, please include your name, email address, and college/university that
you are affiliated with.
3. Please do not
include your name on your paper, so that it may be reviewed “blind” by a
committee of conference organizers.
4. Authors whose papers
are accepted will be notified by February 3, 2013.
5. When you submit
your paper, please indicate whether you would be interested acting as a
discussant for another speaker's paper.
Please remember that
you do not have to be a philosophy major to submit a paper! All currently
enrolled undergraduates are welcome to submit their work.
The Rudolph Campus of
Dowling College is located in Oakdale, NY. This is 50 miles from NYC, and 25
minutes walk from the Oakdale LIRR train station.
