To apply, please fill in this form.
If you are interested in presenting, please submit an abstract of 500-1000 words, prepared for blind review and suitable for a 30-45-minute presentation (followed by discussion) to a general philosophical audience. If your abstract is not selected, you have the option to be considered for one of the commentator-at-large slots without submitting further material.
If you are interested in participating as a commentator-at-large, please submit a 1-paragraph explanation of why you would be interested in participating.
Depending on the funding we secure, we may be able to offer up to 3 bursaries to partially support travel costs for speakers in precarious positions.
