UPSS Biennial Meeting Session
PSA Biennial Meeting UPSS Session
All UPSS scholars participating in the UPSS Mentoring Program who are current graduate students or within 3 years of receiving their PhD are eligible to submit a paper to be considered for presentation in the UPSS Session at the PSA Biennial Meeting. UPSS scholars work with their mentors to refine a paper for presentation on any topic in the philosophy of science. If you do not yet have a mentor, please click here, and indicate that you would also like assistance developing a talk to present at the PSA Biennial Meeting. Please request a mentor by June 1st so mentees have time to work together with their mentors on refining their symposium submission by the due date of August 1st.
Co-authored papers are permitted only if all co-authors are participants in the UPSS Mentoring Program. Papers co-authored with an UPSS mentor are only allowed if the mentee is the first author and PSA session presenter.
Submissions must include a 1,000-word abstract, not including references. Abstracts should be prepared for blind review. A second, short abstract of no more than 100 words should also be submitted for inclusion in the PSA program if accepted. The UPSS Session submission form also asks you to provide a brief diversity statement explaining how your participation would contribute to increasing diversity and advancing the mission of the UPSS Initiative. Please visit the submission form to submit your materials.
Abstracts will be reviewed by a subcommittee of the UPSS Committee. Deadline for submitting abstracts to be considered for UPSS PSA Session at the upcoming PSA meeting in San Diego, CA is August 1st, 2026.
The top three submitted abstracts will be selected for presentation at the biennial meeting.
