23rd Annual CUNY Graduate Philosophy Conference: 2020
Every year the second year PhD students in our department put on a graduate conference. This year we've decided to focus on the analytic/continental divide. Clink on the link above to see our call for paper abstracts.
FAQ
Q: What should my abstract look like?
A: It should be no more than 350 words, excluding references. It should outline the paper’s principal argument(s), give a good sense of the paper’s philosophical contribution(s), and be anonymized. Please include with your submission a cover page that includes your name, affiliated institution, contact information, and title of paper.
Q: How do I apply?
A: Send us your anonymized abstract to [email protected] by January 25th, 2019.
Q: Who is the keynote?
A: Talia Mae Bettcher (California State University, Los Angeles)
Q: When and where will the conference be?
A: April 2, 2019 @ The Graduate Center CUNY, New York City
Q: Is there any funding?
A: Unfortunately, we can't provide travel bursaries to our student speakers. However, we are going to do our best to put our student speakers up at fellow graduate students' houses so that they don't have to pay for accommodation. There will be some snacks and food provided on the day of the conference.
Q: What if I want comments on my paper?
A: Speakers who are accepted on the basis of their abstracts will have the option to submit their papers by an early deadline if they wish to have a commentator.
Q: I don't work on "traditional" philosophical topics. Should I apply anyways?
A: The conference is committed to providing a platform for marginalized persons and topics in the discipline. In answering some of the questions presented in the CFP (see above link) we highly encourage papers regarding, among other topics: critical race theory, feminist philosophy, queer theory, trans philosophy, and disabilities studies. Speakers from marginalized groups in the discipline are strongly encouraged to submit. Any abstracts that aim to discredit already marginalized philosophers or philosophies are strongly discouraged.
