NINTH ANNUAL
PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL SCIENCE ROUNDTABLE
MARCH 23-25, 2007
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA – TAMPA


CALL FOR PAPERS

We are organizing the ninth annual working conference on topics in philosophy of
the social sciences. The 2007 Roundtable will continue a tradition of meetings
that brings together philosophers and social scientists to discuss a wide range
of philosophical issues raised in and by social research. This year the
Roundtable will be hosted by Stephen Turner at the University of South Florida. 

Keynote speakers will be: 
Hans Henrik Bruun, Sociology, University of Copenhagen
Philip Mirowski, Economics, University of Notre Dame

Abstracts on any topic in philosophy of the social sciences are welcome.  We
will assemble a two-day program of papers to be presented in workshop format so
that intensive discussion can be the focus of the meeting.  We choose papers
with the aim of ensuring a broad mix of topics and of presenters from diverse
disciplinary backgrounds. We particularly welcome contributions from junior
colleagues and colleagues new to the area. In this spirit, we have established
an alternate year policy for regular participants; in general, we will give
preference to new contributors over those who presented papers at the previous
year’s Roundtable. Selected papers from the Roundtable will be published in an
annual special issue of Philosophy of the Social Sciences (see any March issue
of Philosophy of the Social Sciences from 2000 onward for papers from prior
Roundtables). 

Send a ONE-PAGE ABSTRACT to any of the organizers by DECEMBER 15, 2006

If you would like to be on a distribution list for email notices, send a note to
