Workshop with Robert C. Neville, Professor of Philosophy, Religion and Theology:
Realism in Religion and the Metaphysics of Goodness
Heidelberg Center for Amercian Studies in cooperation with FEST – Institute for Interdisciplinary Research
Tuesday, June 26th, 9-12 am, Curt an Heidemarie Engelhorn Palais, Hauptstraße 120, Heidelberg.
Warum sind wir eigentlich in der Lage, zwischen Wirklichem und Fiktivem zu unterscheiden? Gibt es besondere kognitive Akte, in denen Erfahrungen gemacht werden, die uns diese Unterscheidung ermöglichen? Max Scheler und einige andere haben die These vertreten, dass die Erfahrung der Wirklichkeit in der Erfahrung von Widerstand gründet. In Phänomenologie und Pragmatismus wurde diese These auf verschiedene Weise entwickelt und auf zahlreiche philosophische Probleme angewendet. Der Workshop verfolgt das Ziel, diese Ansätze in Verbindung zu bringen und so die zuletzt wieder intensiv diskutierte Frage nach der Wirklichkeit in einer neuen Perspektive zu behandeln. Im Rahmen des Workshops wird Dina Emundts das Thema Charles Sanders Peirce über „Resistance“ besprechen.
Ort: Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, Raum 2070A
Beginn: 18.05.2018 09:00

The original Call for Papers can be found here.
Organisers: Chiara Ambrosio and Núria Sara Miras Boronat
The Women in Pragmatism Workshop will take place at UCL on 2 August 2022. It will consist of two interactive sessions (scholars circle; three minute presentations), where all attendees will be able to share work-in-progress, and an interactive mentoring session. The day will conclude with a roundtable presentation and the launch of the book Women in Pragmatism: Past, Present and Future, edited by Michela Bella and Núria Sara Miras Boronat.
Call for papers
The organisers welcome contributions from women, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and all trans colleagues working on any area of pragmatism. We specifically require that participants present work in progress, on which they are seeking feedback in a collegial and supportive environment. As the workshop will run just before the European Pragmatism Conference, we cannot accept submissions that have been accepted for the European Pragmatism Conference.
There are two routes to participate with a contribution to the workshop. Please choose your preferred format, and submit only to one of the following:
Three-minute presentations
The organisers invite submissions for three-minute presentations. Presenters will submit a title and three slides in advance of the conference (see instructions below), and all three-minute presentations will be compiled together for presentation at the sessions. After the presentations, the audience and speakers will be divided in groups for in-depth discussion of the presentations, followed by a plenary discussion which will bring all the groups together.
If you would like to submit a three-minute presentation, please fill in this form by 30 June 2022, at midnight (CET). The form only asks you for your contact details and the title of your presentation. Send your three slides (in PowerPoint format) to Chiara Ambrosio at c.ambrosio@ucl.ac.uk by 30 June 2022.
Scholars Circle
This is a format launched this year at the SAAP Conference, and we are grateful to Judy Whipps and Barb Lowe for bringing it to our attention! Participants submit a 300-400 word abstract of a work in progress. Facilitators will then create “Circles” consisting of 3-4 individuals, grouping the participants with attention to abstract content, scholarly experience, and stage of academic career (e.g. graduate students, tenured professors, instructors, tenure-track instructors, independent scholars, etc.). Participants will then share and receive feedback on their work within their circles, and 20-30 minutes at the end of the session will be used to have a representative of each group relay back key highlights from the discussion to the other groups.
If you would like to submit a work in progress for a Scholars Circle session, please use this form and submit an abstract by 30 June 2022 (midnight CET).
Deadline: 30 June 2022
Contact: Chiara Ambrosio (c.ambrosio@ucl.ac.uk)
Date: 2 August 2022

There is a limited number of spots available for papers pertinent to the topic of the conference (all talks will be on-site; no zoom). Young scholars are especially encouraged to apply. We are committed to creating a friendly and vibrant environment where to receive constructive feedback and inspiration. If you are interested, please send an abstract (word or pdf) of no more than 400 words to michael.festl@unisg.ch by 31 January 2022 or earlier. We will notify you whether you can take part in the conference by the end of February.
Deadline: 31 January 2022
Contact: Michael Festl (michael.festl@unisg.ch)
Date: June 9 – 11 2022
Location: Dewey-Center St. Gallen, Switzerland
The call for individual papers will open on 4 January 2022.
The organizers invite presentation proposals exploring and applying pragmatist ideas to issues and debates in all fields of philosophical and social inquiry, as well as debates in the natural, biomedical and social sciences. Pragmatism being the overall theme of the conference, we encourage the presentation title to reflect explicitly its connections with the theme of the conference. Presentations that explore issues at the interface of Pragmatism and social justice, critical race theory and intersectionality are especially welcome.
Submissions from women scholars and other underrepresented groups in philosophy are especially welcome. This conference follows the BPA/SWIP good practice guidelines.
45 minutes (including discussion) will be allocated for each individual paper presentation. The time is fixed and cannot be exceeded. We expect presenters to reserve at least 10 minutes for discussion. The submission abstracts are expected to include a clear description of the paper’s contents and its contribution to its field of inquiry.
Please submit your paper proposal via our online electronic form. Submissions deadline is at midnight (Central European Time) on 7 February 2022. Please follow the instructions (including word limits) given and save the contents of your submission separately in case of technical difficulties. We expect to announce the results of the call by 14 March 2022.
The Richard Rorty Society invites papers on the topic of “Richard Rorty’s Anti-Authoritarianism” from current and recent graduate students (within three years of receiving their PhD) or those who do not yet hold a PhD for a paper competition to coincide with its 2021 meeting. The meeting will be hosted online by David McClean of Rutgers University, School of Arts and Sciences, Newark, NJ.
We will dedicate a panel to a discussion of the winning paper at the Richard Rorty Society’s online mini-conference, to be held October 14 and 15, 2021 (US Eastern Time). In addition to a panel dedicated to discussion of the winning paper, the RRS is offering a prize of $500 (USD) and editorial support for potential publication in a relevant, peer-reviewed journal.
