Submissions
Please submit abstracts of 500 words or fewer. Prepare your abstract for blind review (i.e., remove all content that may identify you as the author), and send it to valueconference@sheffield.ac.uk. Our submission deadline will be announced soon. For those who have already submitted their abstracts, you don't need to submit again. However, if you would like to withdraw your submission, please send us an email as well.
Submissions must be accompanied by a cover sheet, attached as a separate file, which provides the author(s)'s name(s), email address(es), institutional affiliation(s), and the title of the proposed paper.
The organizers are eager to assemble a demographically diverse program. To aid in this endeavour, if you are a member of a group that is underrepresented in professional philosophy and wish to identify yourself as such, please include this information on your cover sheet as well.
Both files must be in one of these formats: .pdf, .doc, .docx, .rtf, or .txt.
There is a limit of one submission per author.
Important Dates:
Deadline for submissions: 3rd, October, 2020

Other Information

Details will be available closer to the conference date.
