CFP: 2010 Joint Session of the Aristotelian Society and the Mind Association

CALL FOR PAPERS
2010 JOINT SESSION OF THE ARISTOTELIAN SOCIETY
AND THE MIND ASSOCIATION
UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, DUBLIN, 9TH–11TH JULY
The Joint Session is the annual conference of The Aristotelian Society
held in conjunction with The Mind Association. It is the largest and
primary conference for philosophers in the UK. There is a wide subject
base and international speaker profile.
OPEN SESSIONS
A number of parallel sessions on Saturday and Sunday afternoons will be
available for the presentation of papers not previously published. There
will be a considerable number of these sessions available, allowing room
for many submissions to be included. The intention is to accommodate all
philosophical material suitable for presentation to a professional
audience, so far as time and space in the programme allow, and not to
operate a selective policy.
Each presentation should last no more than 20 minutes, so that a further
10-15 minutes may be allowed for discussion. Presented papers should aim
to introduce material involving recent research. There are no restrictions
on the areas of philosophy which papers may address. Philosophers whose
papers are included in this part of the programme must be or become
subscribing members of one of the organising societies.
Those wishing to make a presentation should submit by e-mail attachment a
copy of their paper (no more than 2000 words), together with a 250-word
abstract, to jointsession@ucd.ie by 1st February 2010. Decisions on
whether papers have been accepted will be made by the end of March 2010.
Authors wishing for an earlier response should submit papers as early as
possible.
Papers accepted for the Open Sessions will not be published in the
Supplementary Volume of the Aristotelian Society (unlike papers invited
for the plenary programme of the conference); and expenses will not be
paid.
POSTGRADUATE SESSIONS
Two parallel sessions on the Saturday afternoon will be devoted to short
presentations by graduate students (or those who have recently obtained a
postgraduate degree). Each student should speak for 20 minutes, allowing
10 minutes for discussion.
Students wishing to participate should send their paper, preferably by
attachment in Word 98 or higher, otherwise in two hard copies, by 1st
February 2010 to: The Executive Secretary, The Aristotelian Society, Room
281, Stewart House, Russell Square, London WC1B 5DN. Email:
mail@aristoteliansociety.org.uk.
The paper should be about 2000 words but no more than 2500 words,
including notes and bibliography, and should begin with a brief abstract.
It should be typewritten in 12-point text, single-spaced throughout (i.e.
including references and quotations), on one side of white A4 paper. All
pages should be numbered and have margins of 1 inch or more. Papers
containing symbols liable to distortion in transmission should be
submitted as hard copies; otherwise electronic copy is welcome.
Please ensure that there are no self-identifying references in the text.
Submissions should be accompanied by a separate page containing the title
of the paper, the name of the author, institution and status, and email
and postal addresses.
Authors are advised to consult supervisors about what may be suitable for
presentation to a largely professional audience. Given the tight word-
limit, they are advised to give as much space as they can to the statement
of their own ideas.
The papers will be sent to referees, and a maximum of eight will be
selected for presentation at the Joint Session. The programme will be
settled in May 2010.
The selected authors will have their conference fee and accommodation
expenses (but not their travel costs) paid by the Mind Association and the
Aristotelian Society.
Some papers may subsequently be considered for publication in the
Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society.
Nobody should submit a paper for both the Postgraduate and the Open
Sessions, and only one paper may be submitted per individual. However,
graduate students whose submission for the Postgraduate Sessions is
unsuccessful may subsequently be advised that their paper has been
accepted for the Open Sessions. Conference costs will not be paid by the
organisers.
