Submissions

We welcome proposals for papers, symposia, discussions, workshops or other academic activities which draw upon phenomenological concepts, and which engage with health, relationships, creativity, or the process of understanding experience.

 

In the spirit of our routine practice, we are especially keen to host works-in-progress and to hear discussions about methodological and conceptual innovations, dilemmas and challenges.

 

Proposals should be submitted by email to phar-aston@outlook.com by Friday 20th December 2024. Decisions will be announced in the first week of January.

 

We do not propose to have a poster session. We are keen to support creative approaches to presentation, engagement and discussion. If you have an idea for a format which is unusual, or which may require a specific configuration of space, please contact us to discuss it, on the email address above.
