Deadline for submissions is the April 12th, we anticipate informing applicants about our decision by May 17th.
Understanding Value X is the tenth instalment of a highly successful postgraduate conference at the University of Sheffield that aims at cultivating postgraduate work on value in a welcoming and inclusive space. As such the University of Sheffield and the organisers of Understanding Value highly encourage submissions from members of underrepresented groups in philosophy. At Understanding Value we are interested in papers addressing issues pertaining to value broadly construed. Value permeates many questions in philosophical discourse and as such we welcome papers from any area of philosophy for consideration. We also welcome interdisciplinary contributions. For instance, areas of interest may include, but are by no means limited to:
Instructions for Submission:
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 is the April 12th 2021. We anticipate informing applicants about our decision by May 17th 2021.
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 organisers 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.
Other Information:
We have limited funding available to cover childcare to make attendance at the conference possible for those with children. This is offered on a first come, first serve basis. We will also make necessary accommodations for disabled conference participants (e.g. handouts and papers will be made accessible in advance and subtitles will be available). To enquire about either of these, please visit: valueconference@sheffield.ac.uk.
