OPEN, PG, and SWIP Sessions
The 99th Joint Session of the Aristotelian Society and the Mind Association will be hosted by the COGITO Epistemology Research Centre at the University of Glasgow from 11 to 13 July 2025.
Conference attendees must be members of either the Mind Association or the Aristotelian Society. You can join the Aristotelian Society from as little as £5 here.
THE 2025 OPEN SESSION
The Open Sessions take place during the Saturday and Sunday afternoons of the conference. There is a large number of places available, allowing room for an extensive and diverse programme of talks. There are no restrictions on the areas of philosophy which papers may address. The intention is to accommodate all philosophical material (so far as time and space in the programme allow) that is suitable for presentation.
Each Open Session talk lasts up to 20 minutes and is followed by an additional ten minutes for discussion.
THE 2025 POSTGRADUATE SESSION
The Postgraduate Session takes place on the Saturday afternoon of the conference. All submissions are blind reviewed and a maximum of eight are selected for presentation. Only current postgraduate students (including those who have obtained a postgraduate degree within the past year) can submit for the Postgraduate Session. Each talk for the Postgraduate Session lasts up to 20 minutes and is followed by an additional ten minutes for discussion.
THE SOCIETY FOR WOMEN IN PHILOSOPHY (SWIP) SESSION 2025
The SWIP Session is a special panel held on Saturday afternoon as part of the Open Sessions, which draws together papers that further the aims of SWIP broadly construed. This includes papers on feminism and related emancipatory philosophies, women in the history of philosophy, and achieving gender justice and related forms of justice in the profession. Each talk in the SWIP Session lasts up to 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
SWIP is committed to ensuring that financial considerations do not pose a barrier to participation. For presenters who cannot access institutional funding and would not otherwise be able to attend, we will cover the cost of early bird registration and contribute to the costs of basic travel and accommodation up to a maximum of £250.
