SOPHE CALL FOR PAPERS AND CONFERENCE INFORMATION
PAPER and PANEL PRESENTATION PROPOSALS DUE BY SEPT. 1, 2026
SOPHE is an international organization to encourage and
provide a forum for scholarship in the philosophical, historical, and social
foundations of education, educational biography, pedagogical praxis, and the
education-liberal arts nexus.
For its scholarly presentations, SOPHE prefers
argumentative, thesis-driven papers, clearly linked to larger philosophical,
historical, and social issues concerning education (including higher education)
as a social institution and the connections between education and the liberal
arts including biography, history, literature, the sciences, and mathematics.
Depending on focus of submissions, the program will have topical sessions that
include philosophy of education, history of education, educational praxis,
issues in education, and educational biography, among others. We invite
proposals from scholars in colleges of education and arts and sciences,
graduate students, and independent scholars.
Individual presentations should be timed to finish within
the strict limit of TWENTY (20) MINUTES. Panel Presentations (three or more
presenters) should be timed to finish in FIFTY (50) MINUTES.
Graduate student presentations are encouraged.
Proposals should be 200-300 word
abstracts or summaries of the presentation. Versions of presentations may be
submitted for publication in the refereed Journal of Philosophy and History of
Education and may be up to 30 double-spaced, 12 point
pages.
