Call for Papers

Perception and Human Experience

Keynote Speaker:  Dr. Susanna Siegel, Harvard University

Dr. Siegel will speak on cognitive penetrability and perceptual
justification, arguing that several popular theories of perceptual
justification make false predictions in cases where perceptual experiences
are cognitively penetrated.

We invite submissions from graduate students to our 12th annual graduate
student conference.  We encourage submissions from various academic
disciplines interested in exploring the interdisciplinary roles of
perception and its connection to human experience. Submissions should
philosophically broach the question of sensory modalities and what they tell
us.

By submitting an abstract and outline, the author agrees that upon
conference admittance, he or she will prepare and submit a draft manuscript
by March 1, 2009. Only submissions that adhere to the following guidelines
