2000 Annual Conference
CALL FOR PAPERS
This is the first call for papers for the South Carolina Society for
Philosophy (SCSP) meeting which is to be held jointly with the North
Carolina Philosophical Soociety (NCPS) meeting at Duke University on February
25-26, 2000.
Papers on any philosophical topic (ethics, politics, religion, science,
logic, metaphysics, epistemology, language, etc.) are welcome. Papers
should be
designed for a presentation time of twenty minutes (about ten pages.)
There
will be some special sessions with invited speakers, but the bulk of the
sessions will be based on submitted papers. Papers will be reviewed by
the
program chair and two other referees. Authors will be notified of
acceptances no later than January 31, 2000.
Panel and workshop proposals are welcome. Possible topics include
teaching
philosophy, applied ethics, and cultural themes in philosophy. Proposals
should specify issues to be discussed, format (including time to be
allotted: 20, 40, or 60 minutes), and names of presenters, and should
include abstracts of presentations. Proposals from "mixed" groups (i.e.,
those including both NCPS and SCSP members) are especially encouraged and
may be sent to either of the addresses below.
Papers should be no more than 10 double-spaced pages in length, prepared
with one inch margins, and typed in a standard font. Authors should be
prepared to present their papers in time-slots of approximately 20 minutes
(with a further 10 minutes allotted for questions after the paper
presentation). A cover page should be attached to submissions, with the
following information: title, an abstract of 300 words, author's name(s),
affiliation, complete mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address.
Graduates and undergraduates who wish their papers to be considered for an
award (see below) should say so explicitly on their cover page. Two hard
copies of the paper should be sent to the Program Chair, to arrive no
later
than January 14, 2000:
James Griffis
2000 Program Chair, SCSP
Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences
800 University Way
USC–Spartanburg
Spartanburg, SC 29303
Prizes will be awarded for the best papers authored by a graduate student
and undergraduate student. If you fall into one of these categories,
please submit three copies of your paper together with a 150-word abstract.
It is possible that other student papers, in addition to the prize-winning
ones, will be included on the program. Submissions from students are very
strongly encouraged. Those who teach promising students are asked please
to
encourage submissions from these students. Papers submitted for
consideration for an award will be judged by two referees who are not from
the student's institution.
The conference will be held at Duke University. Details will be posted
here as they become available.
We have rooms at the following hotel:
The Brownstone Inn
2424 Erwin Road
Durham NC

The Brownstone has reserved a block of rooms at $49 a night, single,
double, or king. A continental breakfast is included. People who want to
reserve a room should do so before January 10, 2000 and should mention
"Philosophy Meetings." I will include this information in the newsletter
(soon to come), but please send this to any one you know might be
interested in attending not on this list.
