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 3,000-3,500 (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 3,000-3,500 (authors names and affiliations removed)
DEADLINE FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS
January 26, 2025
As space will be limited, we anticipate the opportunities for presenting papers to be very competitive. You may email your submission to submission@ntxpa.org
If you are interested in participating in one or both workshops, please indicate this in your email.
