2018-19 Undergraduate/Graduate/Otherwise-Potentially-Appropriate-for-Undergraduate Conferences and Journals

Organized by Russell Marcus, Hamilton College. Additions/corrections are welcome: Email me. Some notes. Past Years. Current Year.

Conferences Journals (Note that some conferences have publications attached; I don't track that here, so read their submission pages closely.)

The APA and Hi-Phi Nation are offering an undergraduate public philosophy writing prize. The deadline is December 20, 2018. I'll post a link when I find one.

Notes:

I'll keep these lists as current as I can, in order of submission deadlines.
Entries without submission dates are usually for organizations with past conferences or journals which reliably repeat; see below for other potentially-useful links.
I gather some of these from philevents.
Here is a good blog, with calls for papers for journals appropriate for undergrads.
