Social Philosophy Today CFP (due Dec. 31, 2024)

Social Philosophy Today, a double-blind peer-reviewed journal from the North American Society for Social Philosophy, welcomes article-length submissions at any time in any area of social and political philosophy, as well as shorter replies to previously published SPT articles. Accepted articles will be published online first before being placed in the next annual volume. Volume 41 will include a section on “Community, Identity, and Belonging” – the theme of the 2024 International Social Philosophy Conference. If you would like your article-length submission to be considered for this section, please indicate so and submit by December 31, 2024.

The maximum length for an article is 8,000 words, including notes and references, but 5,000-6,000 words is preferred. Articles must include an abstract at the beginning of no more than 200 words.

The maximum length for a reply to an SPT article is 4,000 words, including notes and references. Please include “Reply to ___” in the title.

To facilitate anonymous review, the author(s) should not be identified in the manuscript or in any electronic signature.

For citations, please use the Chicago Manual of Style author-date system.

Manuscripts should be submitted as Word files. They should be double-spaced, including quotations, notes, and references. Please use endnotes, rather than footnotes.

Submissions should be sent to SPTeditor@northamericansocietyforsocialphilosophy.org. If the submission is co-authored, please provide the name(s) and email address(es) of the co-author(s) in the text of your email message.
