Aporia XXVI Call For Papers

For the 26th edition of Aporia and the Feminist Edition we are looking for philosophy papers in an analytic style that:

(1)  Are written by undergraduate students of Philosophy, or people who have recently graduated and have not yet completed a year of postgraduate studies in Philosophy

(2) If graded by your institution, accepted submissions will have generally received a first-class grade, though this is not a strict requirement.

(3)  Are between 2,000 and 5,000 words long, excluding bibliography and abstract

(4)  Include an abstract of no longer than 300 words

(5)  Are written in Chicago Style with footnotes and a bibliography 

(6)  Anonymised for blind peer-review 

(7)  Submitted as Word Documents or .tex files with an accompanying PDF file

(8)  Articles should be formatted according to the Chicago Manual of Style (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1982-2010). Recent editions (16th or 17th) should be used for clear guidance on referencing electronic media, including websites, blogs, etc.

(9)  Additionally, if you would like your paper to be considered for the Feminist Edition, please indicate that when you submit by selecting the appropriate submission type.

Please submit your work using the OJS submission portal found here by January 11th, 2026, 11:45 PM. 

We invite and strongly encourage submissions from undergraduates at all stages of their degree. Please note that, often, the publication of accepted submissions will be contingent on them undergoing certain revisions. Any questions can be sent to aporiajournal@st-andrews.ac.uk
