The 5th Annual Philosophers' Cocoon Philosophy Conference (PCPC)

VENUE: The University of Tampa

October 14-15, 2017

Organizer/Contact: Marcus Arvan

About the Conference

This conference, associated with The Philosophers' Cocoon, aims to provide early-career philosophers a constructive forum to discuss their work. It will be unique in several respects:

• Although attendance is open to all, paper presenters will be early-career philosophers (graduate students, post-docs, tenure-track Assistant Professors, etc.)
• Although commentators and audience members are encouraged to present objections, constructive criticism (raising objections but also offering and discussing possible solutions) will be a guiding theme of the conference.
• Due to the kinds of travel-funding issues that early-career philosophers often face, several paper sessions will be reserved for Skype presentations.

Information for Attendees

TRAVEL: The University of Tampa, located in the heart of downtown Tampa, is a convenient 15 minute drive from the airport.
