Conference: 24th – 26th July 2013
Glasgow
Description: There has been much interest lately on the part of academics, museum professionals and policy makers on interactions between universities and museums. Critical theory, influenced by Continental philosophy, has had a shaping role on the discussions which have taken place; however, so far there has been little attention to what the insights of philosophers in the Anglo-American tradition might bring to the table. This conference will highlight the scholarship of philosophers in the Anglo-American tradition who have engaged with museums and taken seriously the philosophical questions they raise.
Keynote speakers:
Call for papers: Papers should take 30 minutes to present and be submitted in a form suitable for blind review. Our aim is to involve speakers with a variety of perspectives. It is intended that papers presented at the conference should be suitable for publication as a special supplementary volume of Philosophy (scheduled to appear with Cambridge University Press in 2014). It is a condition of accepting the invitation to participate in the conference that we would have the first right of refusal on a final version of any paper delivered at the conference.
The deadline for submissions of papers is 15th May 2013. The conference fee will be waived for accepted speakers and lunch and dinner for three days will be provided. Speakers are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation costs.
Papers should be submitted, and enquiries addressed, to Dr Anna Bergqvist (a.bergqvist@mmu.ac.uk).

Description: The BPPA Annual Conference began in 1997 and will reach its 17th successive year in 2013. Our conference has the dual aim of showcasing the highest quality postgraduate work in philosophy and finding creative ways to meet the needs of current graduate students. Our format combines a traditional two-day postgraduate philosophy conference with an entire day devoted to career preparation. To our knowledge, this is a combination offered by no other graduate philosophy conference in the world.
Keynote speakers:
Call for papers: We invite papers in all areas of philosophy. Speakers must be postgraduates, or have been recently (within 6 months) awarded their PhD. Please submit an abstract of no more than 500 words to bppaglasgow@gmail.com by 25th April 2013.

Conference: 23rd – 25th June 2013
Edinburgh
Description: We invite submissions for the first annual Midsummer Philosophy Workshop. This year the workshop will be hosted by Eidyn at the University of Edinburgh. The aim of the workshop is to discuss new work in analytic philosophy. We welcome submissions by anyone from anywhere, but we particularly encourage early career researchers to submit. Essays on any topic are welcome but since the workshop will be attended by participants in a range of areas of specialization, papers that are broadly accessible and shorter papers (up to 8000 words, including footnotes) will have a better chance of getting accepted. We also invite volunteers for comments and to serve as session chairs, and there are a limited number of spaces available for other people interested in attending.
Call for papers: To submit a paper, volunteer to comment or chair, or for information on registering, please email the 2013 Midsummer Philosophy Workshop Program Committee at midsummerphilosophy@gmail.com by April 15, 2013.
