Call for Papers
We hope to include up to two papers by graduate students in the program. We invite submissions of papers of any length, though the main ideas should be suitable for presentation in 40 minutes. Papers can be on any topic in the philosophy of probability, broadly construed. Papers need not be prepared for blind review.
Please email papers, and full contact information, by Monday August 24th to antony.eagle[at]philosophy.ox.ac.uk. We aim to notify successful candidates by September 1.
With the support of the Faculty of Philosophy, we are able to contribute to UK travel and accomodation costs for successful candidates.
