Undergraduate Philosophy Conference (Liverpool)

Welcome back! There will be a number of posts in the near-future outlining some exciting changes and events associated with The Big Questions, so check back frequently. One minor change beginning this semester is that we are going to update the blog with information about local philosophy events. I wanted to mention this one as soon as possible because the due date is soon (10 February): there will be an upcoming undergraduate philosophy conference at the University of Liverpool, and submissions are being accepted until midnight 10 Feb. See below for details.

Details

To all philosophers! We are pleased to announce that the University of Liverpool Philosophy Society will be holding its first Undergraduate Philosophy Conference next March. Submissions are welcome from anyone with current undergraduate status or equivalent.
Your papers can be on any topic you wish, from analytic discussion to continental enquiry, and any branch of philosophy. This is an opportunity to pursue your own interests in philosophy and we are hoping for a wide variety of topics. Please note that the papers should be clearly written, argumentative and demonstrate some original thinking, not merely descriptive or a simple regurgitation of a particular philosopher's work. The required length is 3000-5000 words to ensure at least 20-30 mins presenting time.
If your paper is accepted, all expenses except travel will be covered by the conference.
Please submit your papers to H.E.Lewendon-Evans@student.liverpool.ac.uk. For each paper, please attach a cover letter that includes an abstract of the paper, your name, institution and email address. The submission deadline is midnight of Friday 10th February 2012.
