FINAL CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: Deadline for submissions **Jan 31** Philosophy of Biology in the UK 2014
Christ’s College, University of Cambridge Monday 31st March and Tuesday 1st April 2014 The aim of this conference is to gather together UK researchers at all levels, and in all kinds of department, whose work intersects philosophy and the biological sciences. Graduate students and early career researchers are particularly encouraged to attend, and we hope for a diverse audience of philosophers and biologists from all parts of the country. Philosophy of biology is a growing area of research in the UK, and this conference will serve to celebrate and nurture that growth. The program will comprise six plenary talks from invited speakers, with a number of slots for contributed papers. We invite contributed papers addressing any topic in the philosophy of biology, broadly construed. Those keen to present a paper should submit an abstract of no more than 500 words (inclusive of references) in the body of an email to [email protected]. Abstracts containing mathematical symbols may be sent as PDF attachments. Abstracts will be reviewed, and the authors of papers selected for presentation will be informed as soon as possible after the deadline. **Please note that, although one aim of the conference is to provide a forum for UK-based researchers, abstracts from authors who are based outside the UK are very welcome.** Plenary speakers: Patrick Bateson (Cambridge), Ellen Clarke (Oxford), John Dupré (Exeter), Kevin Laland (St Andrews), Tim Lewens (Cambridge), Samir Okasha (Bristol). Deadline for submitted abstracts: FRIDAY 31ST JANUARY 2014. We especially encourage submissions from graduate students and early career researchers, and from members of under-represented groups in philosophy. A Call for Registration will follow shortly. There will be a small registration fee to partially offset the costs of hosting the meeting, but every effort has been made to make the event affordable to graduate students.
