SYMPOSIA
Proposals for symposia are invited in all areas of
philosophical aesthetics. Proposals may be for panels on particular themes,
author-meets-critics sessions or other special sessions. Proposals for
symposia should include a general description of the topic or theme, along
with the names and affiliations of all proposed participants and brief
abstracts of all papers.
Symposia will last two hours, including
discussion time, and should normally have three participants (at most four).
Students may not submit proposals for symposia, though symposia may include
students as participants, in which case their status should be
specified.B The BSA has adopted the Good Practice Policy recommendations of
the British Philosophical Association and the Society for Women in
Philosophy. When drawing up a list of potential invited speakers, organizers
must take reasonable steps to ensure that women are well represented, and
provide evidence of having done so in their proposals. See the Good Practice
website (bpa.ac.uk/resources/women-in-philosophy/good-practice) for more
information and advice.
PAPERS
Papers are invited in all
areas of philosophical aesthetics. All submissions should include a 200-word
abstract and must be prepared for blind review.
There are two
categories of submission:
1. Regular submissions may not exceed 3500
words excluding abstract (around 30 minutesb reading time, to be followed by
discussion). Students may not submit in this category.
2. Student
submissions by students enrolled in MA or doctoral degree programmes are to be
marked as such at the time of submission and may not exceed 2500 words
excluding abstract (around 20-25 minutesb reading time, to be followed by
discussion). Students whose papers are accepted will receive a stipend to
defray conference fees, accommodation and travel costs. The winner of the
prize for the best paper by a student will also receive a prize of B#100.
Abstracts without full papers, papers that are not prepared for blind review
and papers that exceed the maximum length will not be considered.
You may either submit a paper or be a member of a proposed panel, but not
both.
Please also indicate whether you are willing to serve as a
panel chair.
