The Eastern Study
Group of NAKS invites submissions for detailed abstracts (1,000-1,200 words)
for its 2025 annual meeting, to take place at Swarthmore College, in
Swarthmore, PA, outside of Philadelphia. Submissions (in .doc, .docx, or .pdf
format) should be prepared for anonymous review and include a word count.
Please supply author name, affiliation, and contact information in a separate
file. Graduate students should note their status in the contact information.
Please send all
abstracts electronically to Krista Thomason, kthomas2@swarthmore.edu.
The selection
committee welcomes contributions on all topics of Kantian scholarship (both
contemporary and historically-oriented), including discussions of Kant’s
immediate predecessors and successors. We especially encourage submissions from
individuals of groups underrepresented in philosophy and Kant scholarship in
particular.
The best graduate
student paper will receive a $300 stipend and be eligible for the Markus Herz
Prize awarded by NAKS. Papers already presented at other NAKS study groups or
meetings are not eligible for submission. Presenters must be members of NAKS in
good standing (though this is not required in order to submit a paper).
