Call for Papers

Society for Student Philosophers Annual Conference
University of Texas at Austin
Austin, Texas
April 9-11, 2010

Conference Theme: Philosophy and Communication

Keynote Speakers:

Dr. Larry A. Hickman

Dr. Gerard A. Hauser

University of Colorado at Boulder

The Society for Student Philosophers (SSP) invites the submission of papers for possible presentation at its 2010 conference at the University of Texas at Austin. We are especially interested in papers that touch on some topic connected to our conference theme: Philosophy and Communication. Many topics in philosophy and communication have relevance to those in the other field, for example, topics in ethics, new technologies, aesthetics, art, the public sphere, free speech, the philosophy of language, rhetoric, metaphor, persuasion, issues of social/political philosophy, etc. Although submissions do not need to focus specifically on "philosophy and communication," papers that have some relevance for both fields are especially encouraged.

The goal of this event is to start a dialogue between students in philosophy and communication. Although no one paper can exhaust this conversation, we seek individual papers that will spark discussion in both disciplines. Feel free to contact Dr. Scott Stroud at the email below with any questions you may have concerning your submission to this conference.

Authors must be of on-going graduate or undergraduate student status (in philosophy, communication, or any other discipline) and papers must not be published or accepted for publication. Papers should be suitable for a 25 minute presentation. Leave identifying references out of the submitted paper, but include author information (address, department, institution, etc.) in the text of your email.

Deadline for submissions: November 2, 2009

Please send your completed paper to Scott Stroud, SSP Director, at: ssp_conference@hotmail.com
