IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS FOR "In Wittgenstein's Footsteps", 14-16 September 2012 Three calls were sent out during the past fall and spring inviting abstract submissions for the conference, "In Wittgenstein's Footsteps", to be held 14-16 September 2012 at the University of Iceland, in commemoration of the visit of the young Ludwig Wittgenstein and his friend, David Pinsent, to Iceland, in the fall of 1912. The deadline for abstract submission was June 15th, so the period for submitting abstracts has now run out. Many abstracts were received well in advince of the deadline, and most of those have already been reviewed by a volunteer panel of experts and the submitters informed of the results of the review. However, as might have been expected, a minor flood of submissions was received on and around the deadline date, and it will take some time to work through this. If you have submitted an abstract and received acknowledgement of receipt but have not yet received a decision from the review panel, I beg your patience. Our reviewers are all busy academics and are doing the reviews as a great service to the conference organizers on a volunteer basis. In some cases, they have been able to respond within a few days (occasionally even the same day!) - and this is welcome for everyone - but in other cases the response has taken many weeks, due to the press of other commitments. So, if you have received an acknowledgement, but not yet a decision, please be assured that a decision will be forthcoming. If you have submitted an abstract but have not yet received acknowledgement of receipt - which is likely to be the case if you submitted close to the deadline - please wait until June 30th. If you have not by then received acknowledgement of your abstract submission, kindly send an e-mail stating that fact and giving the date of your submission. Please DO NOT RESUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT under these circumstances. Those whose abstracts are favorably reviewed will be invited to submit papers for the conference, and the papers will also be reviewed (i.e. acceptance of and abstract is not tantamount to acceptance of a conference paper). Papers that have not been invited on the basis of an abstract review will not be considered. The final deadline for paper submission is 15 March 2012, and decisions will be rendered by 15 May 2012. However, decisions will be rendered earlier on papers submitted earlier. IMPORTANT! In all e-mail correspondence pertaining to the conference, you are asked to put "In Wittgenstein's Footsteps" in the subject line of your message. All submissions and correspondence to Professor Mikael M. Karlsson: mike@xxxxx Messages to the list are archived at http://listserv.liv.ac.uk/archives/philos-l.html. Discussions should be moved to chora: enrol via http://listserv.liv.ac.uk/archives/chora.html.
