Prize Competition Theme: Mass Incarceration and Racial Justice Type: 2019 Res Philosophica Essay Prize Institution: Res Philosophica Deadline: 1.6.2019 __________________________________________________ Res Philosophica invites papers on the topic of mass incarceration and racial justice for the 2019 Res Philosophica Essay Prize and a special issue of the journal. Submissions addressing any of the many philosophical questions related to mass incarceration and racial justice are welcome. The author of the winning paper will receive a prize of $3,000, and the paper will be published in the associated special issue of the journal on the same topic. Submissions for the prize will be automatically considered for publication in the journal's special issue. Special Editors: Scott Berman and Chad Flanders The journal is sponsoring a conference on mass incarceration and racial justice in March of 2019. Papers accepted for publication in the special issue will appear in the volume with papers given at the conference. Such invited conference papers will not be eligible for the prize. The above CFP is for special issue of the journal, and not the conference. In addition to the conference at Saint Louis University (SLU), St. Louis, MO, USA, there will also be a panel discussion with our speakers and some of our students who are incarcerated that are participating in Saint Louis University’s Prison Education Program. Participants in the program earn an Associate of Arts degree from SLU while incarcerated. Submission Guidelines Submissions will be triple anonymously reviewed: authors do not know the identity of the referees; referees do not know the identity of the authors; and editors do not know the identity of the authors. Please format your submission so that it is suitable for anonymous review.

We prefer initial submissions in PDF format, but will also accept LaTeX and Microsoft Word documents. For accepted papers, we prefer LaTeX documents, but will accept Microsoft Word as well.
