History & Philosophy of Psychology SectionAnnual Conference 7th-9th April University of Edinburgh Call for Papers
The History & Philosophy of Psychology Section invites submissions for its 2009 annual conference to be held in the Psychology Building in the School of Philosophy, Psychology and Language Sciences at the University of Edinburgh.
We invite proposals for individual papers or symposia in any area dealing with conceptual and historical issues in psychology, broadly defined. This year, we would particularly welcome submissions on the history of psychology in Scotland, the Edinburgh philosophical tradition, or those exploring the relationship between Charles Darwin and the history of the human sciences (2009 being the bicentenary of Darwin's birth and 150 years since the publication of On the Origin of Species.)
The conference is open to independent and professional scholars in all relevant fields, not just Section or British Psychological Society members. A limited number of bursaries will be available to students who have had their paper accepted for presentation.
It is hoped that there will be a guided tour or museum visit such as a trip to view the unique Edinburgh phrenology collection. The cost of the conference, full board, including 2 nights' accommodation in a local hotel, will likely be approximately £310. Day attendance rates will also be available.
Presentations will be limited to 20 minutes. For individual papers, abstracts should be up to 200 words. For symposia, the submission should include details of the convenor, the speakers, the theme and abstracts of the contributing papers.
All submissions should be sent via email to Dr Alan Collins on:[log in to unmask] . The deadline for submissions is MONDAY 8th DECEMBER 2008.
