Keynote Speakers: David Albert, Alyssa Ney, & Michael Tooley
We

nature. Aiming for both
depth and breadth, we welcome cutting-edge work at any level of
specificity or generality.

words. Graduate students are invited to submit full papers
of 3000-4000 words. All submissions should be prepared for blind
review, and should be suitable for 30-40min sessions. Submissions are
due June 1, 2017 and should be sent as an email attachment in pdf format to heather.demarest@colorado.
Graduate stipend: Graduate students are encouraged to submit
