Paideia is an international philosophical journal for undergraduates and master's students. Its aim is to promote high quality philosophical debate between different universities. The journal allows a confrontation with high profile publications through a rigorous and not dogmatic discussion.

Paideia wants to open an international room for particularly outstanding papers to prove their value. They can focus on both the historical and theoretical philosophy, from an analytical or continental point of view. An editorial board, composed of both PhD candidates and lecturers, judges the papers via a blind peer-review. Papers should be original and not yet published nor submitted in any other journal. Paideia also has a book reviews and interviews section.

In case you wish to take part as reviewer or interviewer send us an e-mail.

English, German and French are accepted.

CFP: Pop Culture and Philosophy (Undergrad Conference)

Pop Culture and Philosophy

Georgia Southern University

April 20, 2013

Paper Submission Due Date: March 1, 2013

Proposal:

How do the films and television we watch, the books we devour, the music we listen to, the art we gaze at, the very culture from which we emerge orient us in the world and determine our understanding of reality, our faith in reason, our hope to discover a concrete ethic to guide our lives and choices. In short, how much does popular culture dialogue with philosophy and how have philosophers responded to her? This spring we invite undergraduate students to submit papers spanning the history of philosophy dealing with topics related to pop culture. Papers analyzing the philosophical value/disvalue and/or meaning /consequences of particular films, books, TV shows, music and social media will be especially welcomed. We also look forward to papers on philosophers who have repeatedly attempted to think about the role of culture in creating a society and/or damaging a community (e.g. Plato and the poets, Nietzsche and German opera, etc.). Finally, we will also have panels devoted to philosophy papers in general, so feel free to submit outstanding class papers for which you would like to get further feedback.

Submission Guidelines:

Papers can be no longer than 4,000 words though shorter papers are welcomed. Group presentations may also be submitted. Deadline for submission is March 1, 2013. To ask questions about the conference, please contact conference coordinator, Dr. Danielle A. Layne, at dlayne@georgiasouthern.edu.

The top papers will be published in Georgia Southern's undergraduate philosophy journal: The Indefinite Dyad. We are also planning to present a production of Sartre’s No Exit at this year’s reception.

Sponsored by the Center for Learning Enrichment Committee and Georgia Southern University College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the Department of Literature and Philosophy.

April 5, 6, and 7th 2013

The Eastern Michigan University Undergraduate Conference in Philosophy is now accepting papers
for its conference to be held Friday through Sunday, April 5, 6, and 7th, 2013. Papers selected for
presentation will be allotted 20 minute presentation times, followed by “formal” comments and Q & A.

advanced degree (in philosophy) will be considered.

Papers submitted for the conference should be 8-12 pages in length and include an abstract
approximately 250 words in length.

The deadline for submission is February 25th 2013, and only completed papers accompanied by an

We will also be using a “formal” commentator system; so, even if your paper is not selected for
presentation, you may be considered for such a role. Please let us know, along with your paper
submission, if you are willing to fill such a role. This also means that all selected papers will receive
formal feedback at the conference.

Faculty Mentors: Last year we enjoyed having faculty attend in a purely support role. We strongly
encourage students to bring faculty mentors to the conference. The dialog among professors,
discussion of pedagogy, and expansion of mentoring opportunities for students, are among the
desirable benefits of this conference.

Papers, abstracts, and questions should be submitted electronically to emuphilclub@hotmail.com

Faculty Supervisor: Dr. W. John Koolage, wkoolage@emich.edu

Publication Opportunity: The top (3 to 5) papers submitted will be published in the inaugural run of our new undergraduate philosophy journal!
