*Call for Papers: *Australasian Postgraduate Philosophy Conference 2016

*Deadline for Abstracts and Travel Funding: 31st July*

*Basics: *The Australasian Postgraduate Philosophy Conference 2016 will be
held at the Australian National University in Canberra from Saturday 24th
to Monday 26th September 2016 (with an opening plenary address on Friday
23rd of September).

*Talks: *We invite abstract submissions on any philosophical topic (200
words maximum) from all postgraduate students currently enrolled at an
Australasian university. Sessions will generally be 1 hour in length (30
mins speaking, 30 mins question and answer). There may be opportunities for
shorter and longer session depending on demand, your preference can be
indicated when submitting an abstract.

*Diversity: *The conference organisers are committed to supporting
diversity in philosophy and particularly encourage submissions from
underrepresented groups in philosophy.

*Poster Presentations: *The conference will involve a time slot dedicated
to the presentation of posters in an informal circulate and talk format.
Any attendee is welcome to present a poster (printing will be available at
the conference for A3 size posters) as long as it is not on the same topic
as a talk they are giving. We believe this will provide an excellent
opportunity for those presenting less standard work or wishing to develop
ideas not yet ready for full paper or talk presentations.

*Travel Funding: *There will be a limited amount of travel funding available to
cover travel costs for postgraduate speakers with preference given based on
total travel distance. Speakers from within NSW will only be eligible for
funding in extenuating circumstances (ACT residents are not eligible).
Allocation of funds will take into account other funding sources available
to attendees. Applications for travel funding can be submitted with
registration at the link below.

*Registration: *Registration is free and open to all graduate students and
upper level undergraduate students (3rd year and honours) who wish to
attend. You can register and submit an abstract here:
