CFP: Philosophy of Religion Student Conference

Submitted papers will undergo blind review by a student committee. The deadline for submissions is October 15, 2006. Accepted papers will be presented and discussed in sessions lasting about an hour and fifteen minutes. These sessions will consist of the following: a presentation by the author lasting about 25 minutes followed by a response by a commentator lasting about 10-15 minutes, then a response from the author lasting about 5-10 minutes, then questions from the audience.

Submissions to the conference should consist of two separate documents: (i) a cover page, and (ii) your abstract and paper. On the cover page, please list the following:

1. Your full name
2. Email or mailing address
3. Telephone number
4. School affiliation (if any)
5. Title of the paper
6. Word count

Papers should be no longer than about 3,000 words. The first page should consist of just the title and an abstract of at most 200 words (which won’t count toward the 3,000 word limit for the paper). Please remove from your abstract and paper any information that would allow us to identify you. You can send papers to our mailing address or send them by email as attachments in Adobe PDF (.PDF) or Word Document (.Doc) format, to shievak at hotmail com. If you submit your paper electronically, please write ‘Rutgers Religion’ in the subject line of the email. To submit papers by mail, send them to:

Rutgers Philosophy of Religion Conference
Attn: Shieva Kleinschmidt
Philosophy Department, Rutgers University
26 Nichol Avenue

Also, we will be looking for commentators for these papers. If you would like to volunteer to comment, or have questions about the conference, please don’t hesitate to contact us. For more information, check the website (coming soon!) at: http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~shievak/RR.htm

We look forward to your submissions.
