UK Sartre Society annual conference 2026 will be held on 1–2 July at the Maison Française d’Oxford

Keynote Speakers:

Jane Hiddleston (Oxford)

Marguerite La Caze (Queensland)

Mark Wrathall (Oxford)

We invite abstracts on any aspects of the works of Beauvoir, Sartre, or Fanon.

Abstracts should be no more than 500 words. Please ensure your abstract makes clear what your line of argument will be.

Please bear in mind that each selected paper will be scheduled 20 minutes for presentation plus some time for questions. All talks at the conference will be presented in English, so abstracts should be in English.

Abstracts must be submitted through our online submission system. This is a simple text system, so abstracts cannot include footnotes or text formatting. Please prepare your abstract in a simple text editor, then paste it into our form.

Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously, so should not include any information that would identify their authors.

The submission system will close at midnight (UK time) on Saturday 31st January.

We plan to communicate our decisions by the end of Saturday 28th February.

We hope to announce the line-up and open registration in late March or early April.
