Annual MeetingThe SPP sponsors an annual meeting, usually held in June. Meetings consist of invited lectures and symposia, contributed papers, and a Presidential address. Social events include a receptions and lunch meetings. SPP encourages suggestions for the invited portion of the program for upcoming meetings. These should be directed to this year's Program Co-Chairs. We also encourage members (especially non-philosophers) to submit contributed papers to the meeting.
Diversity InitiativesThe SPP Diversity Committee holds sessions at the annual meeting. In addition, in 2011 there was a meeting, chaired by Valerie Tiberius and Carrie Figdor, regarding the APA-funded project to use SPP expertise to begin experimentally Studying the Gender Gap in Philosophy. The resulting report is forthcoming in the journal Hypatia.
Past Meetings
* As a result of moving meeting time from fall to spring, no meeting was held between fall 1974 and spring 1976. | 38th Annual Meeting, June 2012The 2012 meeting of the Society for Philosophy and Psychology will be held 21-23 June 2012, at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Schedule and ProgramThe SPP Program Committee Chairs for 2012 are Fiery Cushman (Brown, Psychology) and Jonathan Weinberg (Arizona, Philosophy). [Draft Program for 2012 Meeting] Note to Speakers and Chairs: Each contributed session consists of 3 papers allocated a total of 60 minutes each for presentation, commentary and questions. Speakers are encouraged to prepare remarks of about 35 minutes, leaving 10 minutes for commentary, 10 minutes for questions and 5 minutes for transition between speakers. Chairs will strictly enforce the total time allocated to each speaker, and will follow the order of presentations listed in the program. This last detail is especially important, so that attendees can rely on the start and finish times for each session when planning their time.
Registration and Dues PaymentOnline registration payments can be made by credit card or PayPal. For on-site registration we will accept credit cards, cash ($US), and checks drawn on US banks. You can join the SPP or pay your annual dues along with your registration. [Online Registration for Members] [Online Registration for Non-Members] Advance/Online registration will close on 4 June 2012. Late and On-Site registration will be available, however a US$50 surcharge (US$25 for students) will be added. Conference Location and Local TransportationThe conference will be held on campus at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The meeting rooms will be located in Wolf and Fleming Halls, with registration and the book display in Fleming. Further details and maps will be posted here. Boulder boasts an extensive network of bus routes. The primary route from the Boulderado to the law buildings is the SKIP. Those staying at the University Inn can ride the SKIP as well or the Dash or the 204. Those staying at the Best Western or in the CU dorms would do best to walk
Poster Instructions and Poster MadnessThe posters will be 3'(h)X4'(w), or approximately 90 cm X 120 cm. They can hold up to 12 letter-size pages (8.5" X 11", approximately 21 cm X 27 cm). Some useful tips on preparing a poster have been assembled in the SPP Poster How-To guide. The presenting author (or other designated presenter) should be at the poster during the times specified on the program. We are also planning for Poster Madness. During Poster Madness, each poster presenter will have the opportunity to give a brief 45-60 second presentation on their poster. The idea is that poster presenters can use the Poster Madness presentation session to give a quick advertisement to the topic of their poster. All poster presenters are encouraged (but not required) to give one of these short advertisements. We will have a computer available for projections. Because presentation time for each quick Poster Madness talk is limited, all speakers using a single slide for their poster advertisement are required to submit their slide before the meeting, so that they may be loaded onto the laptop before the session begins. In addition, please title the slide with the presenter’s name, affiliation, and the title of the poster. Because of time constraints, we are asking each presenter to limit their talks to one slide per person.
