Call for Papers
Eastern Michigan University’s 4th Annual Undergraduate Conference in Philosophy
March 8th and 9th, 2014
The Eastern Michigan University Undergraduate Conference in Philosophy is now accepting papers
for its conference to be held Saturday and Sunday, March 8th and 9th,
2014. Papers selected for presentation will be allotted 20 minute
presentation times, followed by “formal” comments and Q & A. All papers in philosophy, broadly construed,
will be considered for the conference; since this is an undergraduate
conference, no papers by professionals, graduate students, or others holding an
advanced degree (in philosophy) will be considered.
Papers submitted for the conference should be 8-12 pages in length and include an abstract approximately 250 words in length.
The deadline for submission is January 10, 2014, and only completed papers accompanied by an abstract will be reviewed. We expect to announce the papers selected for presentation before the end of January.
We will also be using a “formal” commentator system; so, even if your paper is not selected for presentation, you may be considered for such a role. Please let us know, along with your paper submission, if you are willing to comment. This also means that all selected papers will receive formal feedback at the conference.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Eric Stencil, Utah Valley University
Faculty Mentors: Last year we enjoyed having faculty attend in
a purely support role. We strongly
encourage students to bring faculty mentors to the conference. The dialog among professors, discussion of
pedagogy, and expansion of mentoring opportunities for students, are among the
desirable benefits of this conference.
Papers, abstracts, and questions should
