The Graduate Philosophy Club of Virginia Tech invites the submission of papers
for its 4th annual fall conference which is to be held in Blacksburg, Virginia,
on November 7th and 8th, 2008.
We welcome submissions by graduate students in metaethics, normative ethics and
applied ethics. Also welcome are papers dealing with any philosophical topic
relating to developments in ethics through the 20th Century (e.g., the
implications that cognitive psychology or evolutionary biology have for
ethics). Papers should be no longer than 3500 words, must be presentable in
20-30 minutes, and should include a short abstract (200 -250 words). Please do
not include identifying
information in the abstract or body of the paper. Instead, attach a separate
cover sheet with the submitter's name and paper title, mailing address, e-mail
address, telephone number, and institutional affiliation.
Please e-mail your paper, abstract, and cover page as .doc files to Heather
Oldham at: VT.GradPhilClub@gmail.com
Deadline for submissions is October 1.
