We welcome submissions on any topic in the philosophy of biology or general philosophy of science with a biological focus. 

Those who would like to present their work at the workshop must submit an abstract of 2-3 double-spaced pages by September 15, 2009. There is a limit of one submission per person. All abstracts should be submitted in an editable format (e.g. .doc, .rtf) via email to Elliott Sober (ersober@wisc.edu).

Abstracts will be reviewed by a program committee that will decide which papers will be presented at the workshop. Those submitting abstracts will be notified in early December of
the program committee’s decision.

Those selected for the program need to submit their papers at least six weeks prior to the workshop. These papers will then be made available on the workshop website.  Though the papers can be of any length, speakers will be limited to thirty minutes to present their ideas. Speakers are strongly encouraged to talk through the central ideas of their paper, rather than read it. There will be no official commentators, thereby enhancing opportunities for participation among all workshop attendees, who are expected to have read the papers before the workshop.
