The Bertrand Russell Society invites any interested person to deliver a paper or talk at our next annual meeting, to be held in May or June 2009 (exact date and place yet to be decided). Papers, presented in 20-minute talks, can be on any facet of Russell's life, work, or influence, and should be directed to a general audience consisting of a mix of academics and non-academics. The Annual Meeting is an informal weekend gathering of Russell Society members of diverse interests and backgrounds.
Please submit a title and abstract to Prof. Alan Schwerin, BRS President, Dept. of Philosophy, Monmouth University, West Long Branch, NJ by April 30, 2009.
