SUBMISSIONS
The NTPA welcomes papers from all philosophical perspectives although it is especially amenable to the continental philosophical tradition. We invite both individual and two-person panel submissions. Individual submissions should include a completed paper of 3,000-3,500 words and an abstract of 150 – 200 words. Two-person panel submissions should include a title and proposal for the panel of 250-500 words, along with completed papers and abstracts. The NTPA employs a blind review process for non-invited papers, consequently authors names and institutional affiliations should not appear on their proposals, papers, and footnotes, and rather only be included on a separate cover sheet.
Individual Submission:
• Cover sheet with author’s name, title, institutional affiliation, and title of paper
• Abstract of 150-200 words
• Completed paper of 3000-35000 (author’s name and affiliations removed)
Two-person Panel Submission:
• Cover sheet with both authors names, titles, institutional affiliations, and title of panel
• Proposal for panel of 250-500 words
• Abstracts for both papers of 150-200 words each
• Both completed papers of 3000-35000 (authors names and affiliations removed)
DEADLINE FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS: January 28, 2024
As space will be limited, we anticipate the opportunities for presenting papers to be very competitive. Email submissions to NTPA Coordinator, Andy Amato: [email protected]
If you are interested in participating in one or both workshops, please indicate this in your email.
Note: In partnership with UTD, we are currently in the process of developing a new website for our annual conference. Upon completion, we will direct members and participants to the new site for all conference information and updates.
