The Society for Student Philosophers invites the submission of papers
for possible presentation at its 2010 conference at the University of
Texas at Austin. We are especially interested in papers that touch on
some topic connected to our conference theme: Philosophy and
Communication. Many topics in philosophy and communication have
relevance to those in the other field, for example, topics in ethics,
new technologies, aesthetics, art, the public sphere, free speech, the
philosophy of language, rhetoric, metaphor, persuasion, issues of
social/political philosophy, etc. Although submissions do not need to
focus specifically on “philosophy and communication,” papers that have
some relevance for both fields are especially encouraged. Other papers
will still be considered.
 

Authors must be of on-going graduate or undergraduate student status
(in any discipline) and papers must not be published or accepted for
publication. Papers previously presented at SSP events are excluded
from submission. Papers should be suitable for a 25 minute
presentation. Leave identifying references out of the submitted paper,
but include author information (address, department, institution,
etc.) in the text of your email.
 

Deadline for submissions:  November 2, 2009
 

Please send your completed paper to Dr. Scott Stroud, SSP Director,
at: ssp_confere...@hotmail.com
