Call for papers

We welcome submissions from all graduate students in philosophy for the 22nd Annual Oxford Philosophy Graduate Conference to be held on 10-11th November 2018 at the University of Oxford.

The University of Oxford's Annual Graduate Philosophy Conference enjoys a reputation as one of the most prestigious philosophy conferences at the graduate level in the United Kingdom.

Papers can be on any topic in philosophy. We aim to represent a broad range of philosophical debates and traditions in our final selection, across areas of both theoretical and practical philosophy.

Each student presentation will be followed by a response from a member of the Oxford Philosophy Faculty.

All submissions will undergo a double-blind review process.

For submission details, see below.
