==================== HES POSTING ==================== Call for Symposium Proposals Philosophy of Science Association Sixteenth-Biennial Meeting, 21-25 October 1998 Members of the PSA are invited to submit proposals for symposia to be presented at the 1998 PSA meeting in Kansas City, October 21-25. Proposals must include sufficient supporting material to permit the program committee to evaluate the quality and interest of the symposium. The proposal should include: (1) the title of the proposed symposium; (2) a description of the topic and a justification of its current importance to the discipline (about one or two pages); (3) titles and abstracts of papers; (4) a list of participants and either an abbreviated cv or a short biographical information file for each; (5) addresses of each participant, with the institutional affiliation, postal and email addresses, and telephone and fax numbers. Please indicate clearly the name of the organizer or contact person for the purposes of communication with the Program Committee. In addition to inviting proposals in traditional, core areas of the philosophy of science, the Program Committee wants also to encourage the submission of proposals in areas where the philosophy of science engages social issues in science or issues in science policy. A selection of symposium papers will be published after the meeting in PSA 1998, vol. 2, which will be published as a supplementary issue of Philosophy of Science. Organizers should make it clear to symposium participants that, normally, by accepting the invitation to participate in a symposium they agree to present a paper at the meeting and to deliver a manuscript for consideration for publication shortly after the meeting. Symposium organizers who wish to invite someone who would not submit a manuscript for publication should make that status clear in the symposium proposal. Symposium proposals should reach the chair of the Program Committee no later than July 31, 1997. The Program Committee for PSA 1998 is as follows: Robert Brandon (DukeUniversity), James Cushing (University of Notre Dame), John Dupre (University of Exeter and Birkbeck College, University of London), Marc Lange (University of Washington), Lynn Hankinson Nelson (Rowan College of New Jersey), Kristin Shrader-Frechette (University of South Florida), and John Worrall (London School of Economics).
