CfA: BPPA conference on the Philosophy of Mental Health

The British Postgraduate Philosophy Association (BPPA) is delighted to announce that we are now inviting submissions of papers to be considered for our conference on the Philosophy of Mental Health, broadly conceived, which will constitute our 2023 regional conference for London and the South-East of England . The conference is scheduled to take place the 30th of June 2023, at Senate House, University of London. The deadline for expression of interest is the 27th May 2023 at 12pm GMT. 

The main question behind the conference is: what does philosophy have to say about the mental health epidemic? Thus, we are accepting proposals for talks that loosely relate to this question: from Philosophy of Psychology and Philosophy of Psychiatry, to general philosophical concerns surrounding the notion of happiness, wellbeing and the flourishing of individuals. We welcome submissions from graduate students of any UK-based institution, although, being a regional conference, we will give preference to students in the London and South-East of England area. People who have previously completed a postgraduate degree in philosophy and are in the transition to another are also welcome, regardless of their enrolment status. We especially encourage applications from all who identify as members of underrepresented groups in academia.

Some travel bursaries will be available for students who are not based in London. We will also be able to provide childcare support for presenters with caring responsibilities. For any further information, don't hesitate to contact us at british.postgraduate.philosophy@gmail.com.
  
Speakers will be asked to prepare a presentation of around 20 minutes and take friendly and constructive feedback from audience members. To express interest, please fill out this minimal application: https://forms.gle/9MSJ9xug7Z8Jf1JE8
