hot takes

 

Part I

In this workshop, six folks from Philosophy Twitter will make their best case for an unpopular and (too-)easily dismissed philosophical view. (Join us also for Part II on August 21st!)

"APA-
STYLE"

25-minute paper presentation, followed by 10-minute invited commentary, 5-minute reply, 10 minutes Q&A

Designed for those looking to present an already-written paper in a traditional conference setting. This talk type is modeled on the standard session format of the American Philosophical Association (APA).

Especially encouraged to submit:

grad students at any stage 
- advanced undergrads

adjunct/contingent faculty
independent scholars

Submission
Requirements

≤3000 word paper

anonymized for review

.docx or .pdf

COFFEe
HOUR

15-minute overview sketch of a paper in progress, followed by 45 minutes informal conversation.

Designed for those looking to bounce some new or otherwise not-so-baked ideas off some fellow philosophers in a constructive and conversational environment. This is the most informal talk type.

Especially encouraged to submit:

grad students at any stage 
- early career researchers

adjunct/contingent faculty
independent scholars

Submission
Requirements

500-750 word abstract

anonymized for review

 .docx or .pdf

COLLOQUIUM
 

50-55 minute lecture-style presentation, followed by a 5-minute break and 50-60 minutes Q&A.

Designed for those looking for experience presenting in a longer-form, "job talk"-style format without the actual stakes of a "job talk" or department colloquium lecture. This is the most formal talk type.

Especially encouraged to submit:

late-stage grad students 
- early career researchers

adjunct/contingent faculty
independent scholars

Submission
Requirements

500-750 word abstract

anonymized for review

 .docx or .pdf
