-----Original Message----- From: British Society of Aesthetics <[email protected]> To: news <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Sep 11, 2014 5:27 am Subject: [AE] 2nd Call for Conference Proposals: BSA Connections Conference The British Society of Aesthetics has announced a second round of funding for its successful Connections series of conferences.? The Society is looking to fund two conferences, each with a grant of up to GBP12,000.
A Connections conference should be designed to enhance the dialogue between aesthetics and other areas of philosophy. The majority of papers should be by philosophers who have hitherto not had a primary research focus in aesthetics (effectively an AOS in aesthetics), though they may have made some contributions to the field. The remainder of the presenters should have a research specialism in aesthetics. Papers should explore the connections of other areas of philosophy with aesthetics, or be in aesthetics. The conference should be held within one year of the notification of a successful application; it must be held in the UK, though the organisers need not be based there; and the organisers are responsible for all practical matters concerning its running. The BSA expects to be the sole funder of the conference, which should include 'British Society of Aesthetics Connections' in its title, and all conference materials should publicise the role of the BSA. Proposals should be sent to [email protected] no later than Monday 1 December 2014.? They should be no more than 2,000 words long, and include a proposed date range and venue, a draft budget, and a list of proposed speakers and topics (indicating which speakers have already agreed to contribute, conditional on the success of the application). Applicants will be informed of the outcome of their applications by mid-January 2015. Any questions about this Call for Proposals should be addressed to the President of the BSA, Berys Gaut [email protected] This call is also available at: http://british-aesthetics.org/?portfolio=bsa-connections _______________________________________________ news mailing list [email protected] http://lists.aesthetics-online.org/listinfo.cgi/news-aesthetics-online.org
