[Galileo] CFP: Philosophy of Social Science

[George Gale]

TENTH ANNUAL
PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE ROUNDTABLE
MARCH 7-9, 2008
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON ­ SEATTLE
 
 
CALL FOR PAPERS
 
We are organizing the tenth annual working conference on topics in
philosophy of the social sciences. The 2008 Roundtable will continue a
tradition of meetings that brings together philosophers and social
scientists to discuss a wide range of philosophical issues raised in and by
social research. This year the Roundtable will be hosted by Alison Wylie at
the University of Washington, Seattle.
 
Keynote speakers will be:
Nancy Cartwright, Center for Philosophy of the Social and Natural Sciences,
London School of Economics; Philosophy, University of California ­ San Diego
Charles Mills, Philosophy, Northwestern University
 
Abstracts on any topic in philosophy of the social sciences are welcome.  We
will assemble a two-day program of papers to be presented in workshop format
so that intensive discussion can be the focus of the meeting.  We choose
papers with the aim of ensuring a broad mix of topics and of presenters from
diverse disciplinary backgrounds. We particularly welcome contributions from
junior colleagues and colleagues new to the area. In this spirit, we have
established an alternate year policy for regular participants; in general,
we will give preference to new contributors over those who presented papers
at the previous year¹s Roundtable. Selected papers from the Roundtable will
be published in an annual special issue of Philosophy of the Social Sciences
(see any March issue of Philosophy of the Social Sciences from 2000 onward
for papers from prior Roundtables).
 
Send a ONE-PAGE ABSTRACT to any of the organizers by 
DECEMBER 15, 2007.
