The British Undergraduate Philosophy Society is very happy to announce
that the British Undergraduate Philosophy Conference 2006 will be held
from Friday 8th to Sunday 10th September at St.John's College,
University of Durham.

Our keynote speaker this year is Professor AC Grayling (Birkbeck
College, University of London), author of The Refutation of Scepticism,
Moral Values, An Introduction to Philosophical Logic, The Meaning of
Things, and many noted research papers.

We expect two full days of lively discussion, and equally lively
socialising! The conference is non-profit-making: the cost of
registration, two nights bed and breakfast accommodation and
refreshments is just 54 UKP. Registration without accommodation is 14
UKP.

To register, via post or through our online booking system, or for more

-----------------------

Undergraduates at UK or Irish Universities are invited to submit papers
of 2,000-2,500 words (15-20 minutes reading time). 

Papers should be:

.	carefully structured

.	clearly written

Your audience will be fellow undergraduates: expect discussion to be
focused, but relaxed and friendly. Outstanding papers from the
conference will be offered publication in our academic journal, the BJUP
(www.bups.org/BJUP).

Papers should be submitted via email to submit@bups.org and should be
prepared for blind review with a separate cover sheet giving name,
affiliation, contact details and paper title. The deadline for
submission is Saturday August 5th. Submission enquiries to info@bups.org

If you know anyone else who would be interested, please spread the word.
We look forward to seeing you at the conference!
