CFA Reminder: Philosophy of Biology at the Mountains (POBAM) 2020
Philosophy of Biology at the Mountains (POBAM) 2020 Workshop + Seminar
June 8-12, 2020
University of Utah
Salt Lake City
Workshop CFA REMINDER:
Submission deadline: January 31, 2020.
All submissions must be made through EasyChair: easychair.org/cfp/POBAM2020.
The POBAM Workshop showcases new work in the philosophy of biology. Submissions can be on any topic in the philosophy of biology or biology-oriented philosophy of science, though priority will be given to novel and innovative work. Interdisciplinary projects bridging philosophy and biology are highly encouraged.
For 2020, you may submit a proposal for either a full-length talk (30 minutes + 30 minutes Q&A) or a 5-minute lightning talk + poster. The latter option includes a poster display as well as a chance to pitch your project to other POBAM participants in a special “POBAM Poster Pitch” session, which will be held at the beginning of the workshop.
Abstract submissions may be up to 500 words and must be prepared for blind review. Please indicate in your submission whether you are applying for a full-length talk or a lightning talk + poster, and whether you wish to be considered for a lightning talk + poster if you are not accepted for a full-length talk.
Seminar and keynote UPDATE:
We are excited to announce our first keynote speaker: local biologist Nalini Nadkarni. In addition, this year’s seminar instructors will include Melinda Fagan (University of Utah), Carla Fehr (University of Waterloo), Stephen Downes (University of Utah), Catherine Kendig (Michigan State University), Roberta Millstein (UC Davis). Others to be announced.
