Our conference provides a supportive environment in which undergraduate students from across the nation can present their original work in philosophy and/or religion. Papers on any topic within these fields will be considered for acceptance. Accepted authors should prepare for a 30-minute presentation—20 minutes for your paper presentation and 10 minutes for Q & A.
The $250.00 Errol Rohr Prize in Philosophy and Religion will be awarded to the best paper. Participants will also enjoy a keynote presentation by Dr. Thomas Senor from the University of Arkansas.
Submit your papers via email to Jasmine Barker at jmbarker@king.edu. Acceptance will be determined by blind review by a jury of scholars from various institutions. Accordingly, please submit the following as three separate attachments to your email:
