interest. The first is from Avery Kolers (Deadline: July 30), the second is
from Rowan Bell (Deadline: March 15), and the third is the NASSP call for

Call for Papers:
Centennial Celebration of the work of Mary Warnock (1924-2019)
Mary Warnock was a pioneering and influential figure in applied and public
philosophy. In addition to academic work on existentialism, ethical theory,
the imagination, reproductive ethics, and the philosophy of religion, her
reports on special needs education and artificial reproduction had a major
impact on public awareness and public policy.
The *Journal of Applied Philosophy *(JOAP) plans a special issue to
commemorate Mary Warnock’s centennial with the final issue of the 2024
volume. The issue will feature both academic articles (6000-8000 words) in
any area of applied philosophy, with special emphasis on areas in which
Mary Warnock published; as well as shorter interventions (1500-3000 words)
in *public *philosophy, understood as the attempt to engage lucidly and
nontechnically with timely issues of public debate or to put issues onto
the public agenda.
*Academic articles: *Papers are invited in any area of applied philosophy,
with special emphasis on those in which Mary Warnock published. Papers
should be prepared for anonymous review according to JOAP guidelines and
submitted through the Journal’s submission portal. When submitting, select
“Special Issue” and type in “Warnock”. *Deadline: January 31, 2024*. This
deadline is not flexible due to November 2024 publication date.
*Public Interventions: *Philosophical interventions are invited on any
topic of contemporary debate, in any region or country, with preference for
topics that are also resonant beyond that country’s borders. Writing should
be nontechnical and accessible. Articles should be prepared for anonymous
review and accompanied by a very short (two-sentence) abstract indicating
the topic and the position defended on that topic. When submitting, select
“Special Issue” and type in “Warnock”. *Deadline: July 30, 2024*. Public
interventions will be reviewed “up” or “down” with opportunities for only
minor revisions.
Direct questions to: akolers at louisville.edu or joap at appliedphil.org.

The Canadian Society for Trans Philosophy (CSTP) and the Canadian Society
for Women in Philosophy (CSWIP) invite the submission of abstracts for
inclusion in our upcoming conference, “Trans/Feminist Philosophy: Pasts,
Presents, Futures.” The conference will be held *August 14-16, 2024*, at
the University of Guelph.
We encourage interdisciplinary submissions, as well as submissions which
challenge traditional notions of philosophical scholarship. This includes
proposals for creative or performative presentations, as well as
traditional paper presentations.
We especially encourage applications from those who are underrepresented in
philosophy. The conference will prioritize accessibility. Find details
below.
Prospective participants are invited to submit either paper abstracts of
750-1000 words, or proposals for creative/performative presentations, on
topics related to the general theme of trans/feminism. This is understood
as an inclusive disjunction; trans philosophy, feminist philosophy, and/or
transfeminist philosophy is welcome. Topics may include, but are not
limited to, the following:
· The nature of trans/feminism (in philosophy or otherwise)
· The transness of feminist philosophy; the feminism of trans
philosophy
· Trans/feminist decoloniality; trans/feminism and Indigeneity
· Trans/feminism and race
· Trans/feminism and disability
· Trans/feminist fat studies
· Transphobia, misogyny, transmisogyny
· Methodologies of trans philosophy, feminism, trans/feminism
· T4T philosophy, or philosophy by and for trans people
· Trans/feminist metaphysics, epistemology, or logic
· The role of philosophy in fighting anti-trans legislation and
activism
· Histories of trans/feminist philosophy; where did we come from?
· Current issues in trans/feminist philosophy; where are we now?
· Futures of trans/feminist philosophy; where do we go from here?
Submissions are due March 15, 2024. Applicants will be notified of
acceptance or rejection by April 1, 2024.
Abstracts and proposals may be submitted at this link:
https://forms.gle/4RtDSWHJrJ7tRaVm6
Accessibility considerations
All sessions will be offered in hybrid format. Applicants will be invited
to indicate whether they would prefer to attend in person or not. In-person
attendants will be encouraged to wear masks, which will be provided.
Guidelines for accessible presentations will be distributed with successful
participant notifications. Conference rooms and the reception space are
wheelchair accessible, and information about wheelchair accessible
transportation and accommodations will be made available by February 15 at
the latest. Food will be vegan/vegetarian, and there will be space on the
registration form to note other dietary restrictions. Participants are
asked not to bring or wear strong scents. A quiet room will be available,
and there will be gender-neutral and accessible bathrooms nearby.
We aim to offer affordable accommodation options for participants. We are
also working to secure financial assistance for graduate students and other
attendees with financial need. Further information will be available on the
conference website by February 15 at the latest.
If you have any questions or concerns about accessibility, please contact
conference organizer Rowan Bell at rbell09 at uoguelph.ca. All conference
participants will be asked to identify any presentation technologies and/or
other supports required to participate, and anything else that can help
mitigate potential barriers to participation. All information will be kept
confidential.

*The Program Committee:*
program at northamericansocietyforsocialphilosophy.org
Dan Lowe, University of Michigan (co-chair)
Roksana Alavi, University of Oklahoma (co-chair, ex-officio)
Janice Moskalik, Seattle University
Vincent Chiao, University of Toronto
*Local host:* Kevin Graham, Creighton University
*Accessibility and Inclusivity*
NASSP is committed to creating an inclusive intellectual community where
philosophers from historically marginalized groups feel welcome and are
able to participate. NASSP recognizes that there are a variety of barriers
of entry due to systemic discrimination and oppression that might prohibit
participation in its events and governance (and in professional philosophy
more broadly). NASSP is committed to removing those barriers and
challenging oppressive norms within the profession more broadly,
specifically (though not exclusively) for those related to race, ethnicity,
Indigeneity, sexual orientation, ability, class, or gender.
Creighton University is a Catholic and Jesuit university, and its website
on Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion states that “all in our community are
charged to foster an environment of awareness, inclusion and compassion for
all, regardless of age, culture, faith, ethnicity, immigrant status, race,
gender, sexual orientation, language, physical appearance, physical ability
or social class.”
Accommodations will be available either in a residence hall on the campus
of Creighton University or in a hotel near campus.
Questions? contact at northamericansocietyforsocialphilosophy.org
*Social Philosophy Today*
Papers presented at the conference are eligible for consideration for
publication in *Social Philosophy Today*, a peer-reviewed journal published
electronically and available for print on demand. Although most articles
published in *Social Philosophy Today* are based on papers presented at the
conference, the journal is not a proceedings volume. Only those articles
recommended on the basis of peer review will be accepted for publication.
*NASSP Conference Awards for Graduate Students:*
The North American Society for Social Philosophy awards an annual prize of
$800 for the best Graduate Student Paper on a topic in social
philosophy. Prizes will only be awarded to conference attendees who are
still enrolled in a program towards a degree beyond the B.A. or first
university diploma at the time of the conference. (Note that if the paper
is coauthored then all the authors must meet this requirement.) There is no
obligation to use prize money for conference-related costs.
To be considered for this award, full papers of no more than 3,000 words
must be submitted on or before February 15, 2024 to
gradaward at northamericansocietyforsocialphilosophy.org; please include a
word count with submission. Abstracts must also be submitted according to
the above instructions for consideration by the program committee by
February 15, 2024, as only those whose abstracts are accepted by the
program committee will be considered for the graduate award.
*NASSP Support for International Presenters*
The NASSP will waive fees for conference registration and for the banquet
for those participants traveling from outside of the United States and
Canada.
