CFA: UK Sartre Society 2022 Conference

CFA: UK Sartre Society, Oxford, July 2022; Deadline: Sunday 24 April.


The UK Sartre Society is pleased to announce that our 2022 conference is planned to be held in person at the Maison Française in Oxford on Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th July.

We invite abstracts on any aspects of the works of Beauvoir or Sartre. We intend to hold a large event ranging across their whole careers and all their genres.

Our keynote speakers will be:
– Professor Meryl Altman (DePauw University), author of Beauvoir In Time (Brill, 2020).
– Dr Henry Somers-Hall (RHUL), author of Judgement and Sense in Modern French Philosophy (Cambridge University Press, 2022)

We also intend to screen the 1947 film made from Sartre's screenplay, Les Jeux sont faits.

Abstracts should be no more than 500 words. Please bear in mind that each selected paper will be scheduled 30 minutes for presentation plus some time for questions.

All talks at the conference will be presented in English, so abstracts should be in English.

Abstracts must be submitted through our online submission system. This is a simple text system, so abstracts cannot include footnotes or text formatting. Please prepare your abstract in a simple text editor, then paste it into our form.

Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously, so should not include any information that would identify their authors.

The abstract submission system will close at midnight (UK time) at the end of Sunday 24th April, so that the review process can begin the next day.

We plan to communicate our decisions in early May, then announce the line-up and open registration in the middle of May.
