1st International Congress of the Chilean Society for Philosophy of Science
Valparaíso, January 14th-16th, 2026
The Chilean Society for Philosophy of Science (SOCHIFIC) issues an international call for abstracts (CFA) for its 1st International Congress, which shall take place at the Universidad de Valparaíso (Valparaíso - Chile) on 14th-16th January 2026. The SOCHIFIC Congress will celebrate our Society's 10th anniversary, establishing a permanent event that delivers space for the discussion, exchange of ideas, and dissemination of investigation in philosophy of science by both Chilean and international scholars.
The philosophy of science extends beyond classrooms and university offices, playing a significant role in knowledge generation, social practices, and public policy, affecting everyday issues concerning science’s roles in society. We invite researchers to submit proposals.
For this year’s annual HPS conference, we are seeking a variety of perspectives on the phenomenon of “scientific expertise”: How have sciences, expertise, and the state been co-constitutive and mutually reinforcing? How have (and how do) practices of quantification and categorization contribute to colonial expansion and reification of racial hierarchies? How can we assess “good judgment” within scientific practices? Can such assessments be articulated and generalized to domains “outside the lab,” or are they inevitably “tacit” and context-specific? What are the tensions and synergies between scientific and religious epistemologies and authorities?
We are currently accepting submissions for twenty-minute papers and for posters. Abstracts should be approximately 500 words for papers and 100 for posters.
Abstracts are due January 31st, 2026. Submit here.
