TENTH ANNUAL PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE ROUNDTABLE MARCH 7-9, 2008
|
|
| CALL FOR PAPERS |
We are organizing the tenth annual working conference
on topics in philosophy of the social sciences. The 2008 Roundtable
will continue a tradition of meetings that brings together philosophers
and social scientists to discuss a wide range of philosophical issues
raised in and by social research. This year the Roundtable will be
hosted by Alison Wylie at the University of Washington, Seattle. Abstracts on any topic in philosophy of the social sciences are welcome. We will assemble a two-day program of papers to be presented in workshop format so that intensive discussion can be the focus of the meeting. We choose papers with the aim of ensuring a broad mix of topics and of presenters from diverse disciplinary backgrounds. We particularly welcome contributions from junior colleagues and colleagues new to the area. In this spirit, we have established an alternate year policy for regular participants; in general, we will give preference to new contributors over those who presented papers at the previous year’s Roundtable. Selected papers from the Roundtable will be published in an annual special issue of Philosophy of the Social Sciences (see any March issue of from 2000 onward for papers from prior Roundtables). Send a ONE-PAGE ABSTRACT to any of the organizers by DECEMBER 15, 2007. If you would like to be on a distribution list for email notices, send a note to this effect to James Bohman at the address below. Check the Roundtable website for news and updates: |
