Long Island, New York, April 8th, 2011)

In order to increase student awareness of and interest in philosophy,
and to encourage contributions to the scholarly community, Dowling
College Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies invites
students to submit papers relating to any philosophical topic or
period. Authors of accepted papers will be given the opportunity to
present their work at Dowling College's first undergraduate philosophy
conference.
Deadline for Submissions: January 15th, 2011

Submission Guidelines:

1. Although papers must relate to a philosophical topic or period,
that does not mean that other areas, such as psychology, sociology,
neurology, biology, etc., are excluded. As long as the paper engages
with its topic in a philosophical manner you are more than welcome to
submit the paper. Presenters should plan on having 15 minutes to
present their work (approx. 8-10 pages long). Time limits will be
strictly enforced.

2. Attach a copy of your submission in .doc or .docx format to an
email, and send it to Adam Kohler at agkohler@gmail.com and Christian
Perring at perringc@dowling.edu. Within the email, please include
your name, email address, and college/university that you are
affiliated with.

3. Please do not include your name on your paper, so that it may be
reviewed "blind" by a committee of conference organizers.

4. Authors whose papers are accepted will be notified by Feb 15, 2011.

5. When you submit your paper, please indicate whether you would be
interested acting as a discussant for another speaker's paper.

Please remember that you do not have to be a philosophy major to
submit a paper! All currently enrolled undergraduates are welcome to
submit their work.


The Rudolph Campus of Dowling College is located in Oakdale, NY. This
is 50 miles from NYC, and 25 minutes walk from the Oakdale LIRR train

CFP: North American Undergraduate Conference in Religion and Philosophy

Friday and Saturday, March 25-26, 2011
Saint Francis University
Loretto, Pennsylvania 15940

We cordially invite undergraduates to submit proposals for the fifth
annual North American Undergraduate Conference in Religion and
Philosophy. Submissions are encouraged from students majoring in all
academic fields.

Although any paper related to religion and philosophy will be
considered, priority will be given to those addressing this year's
theme, "Race in America." As philosopher Cornel West asserted, "A
fully functional multiracial society cannot be achieved without a
sense of history and open, honest dialogue." Accordingly, this year's
conference will forthrightly address philosophical and religious
questions of race and how these questions relate to politics, culture,
society, and history. To begin our conversation, this year's keynote
speaker will be George Yancy, Associate Professor of Philosophy at
Duquesne University and author of Black Bodies, White Gazes: The
Continuing Significance of Race.

Paper proposals (roughly 250 words) should give a concise description
of the presentation. The deadline for proposals is February 18, 2011.
Please include your full name, paper title, institution, e-mail, phone
number, and the name and contact information of your major professor.
Presenters must submit their full paper by March 11, 2011 to be
considered for conference prizes. Proposals and final papers should be
sent via e-mail attachment to Dr. Arthur Remillard at
aremillard@francis.edu.

The keynote address will be given on Friday evening, with a student-
led discussion to follow. All student presentations will be given on
Saturday from approximately 9:00am-5:00pm. This conference is open to
the public and free for presenters and non-presenters alike. For more
information, directions, contacts, scheduling, etc., please visit our
website: www.francis.edu/NAUCRP.htm; or join our Facebook group, "St.
Francis University Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies."

This conference is organized by St. Francis University and Westminster
College, with support from SFU's School of Arts and Letters,
Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, and the Institute for
Ethics.
