It is a two-day conference, organised by graduate students for graduate students. The conference provides graduate students an opportunity to present their work and receive extensive feedback from peers and specialists in the field. Priority will be given to current doctoral students, but we also welcome submissions from postdoctoral researchers, as well as MA students. As such we welcome relevant submissions from those working in traditionally ‘continental’ or ‘analytic’ philosophical areas, as well as from those working in cognitive science, neuroscience and psychology. Our intention is to encourage fruitful and robust discussion across intellectual traditions and disciplinary boundaries. We invite abstracts from those working in and around issues occurring at the intersection of phenomenology, cognitive science and the philosophy of mind. This may involve papers with an explicitly critical stance, just as it may include papers concentrating on the possibilities of mutual illumination. Over the course of the conference we hope to explore the latest developments occurring in this space, particularly surrounding issues related to the compatibility or incompatibility of transcendental and naturalistic approaches. A sizeable body of original and important research is developing at the intersection of the phenomenological tradition, philosophy of mind, and cognitive science. This year the conference theme is ‘Phenomenology, Science, and Consciousness: The Transcendental and the Naturalistic’. We are welcoming submissions for the 7th Annual University of Sussex Graduate Conference in Phenomenology. Keynote Speakers: Michael Wheeler (University of Stirling) and David Roden (Open University) ANNUAL GRADUATE CONFERENCE IN PHENOMENOLOGY
