Do beliefs affect experience?

CALL FOR PAPERS
The British Psychological Society’s Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section invites submissions for its 2009 annual conference to be held at St Anne’s College, University of Oxford.
We invite proposals for individual papers or symposia on how our values, assumptions and beliefs shape our experience.
The conference is open to everyone, not just BPS and section members.
We will provide three bursaries to students whose proposals for talks are accepted.
The keynote speakers are:
- Raymond Tallis - who will critique the Computational Theory of Mind and what he calls ‘Mythinformation’
- Jonathan Cole - who will speak about neurological impairment, embodiment, belief and intersubjectivity
- Chris French - who will talk about the role of belief in shaping interpretations of anomalous experiences
All submissions should be sent to Dr Susan Stuart by 1st May s.stuart@philosophy.arts.gla.ac.uk
For paper submissions, please submit an abstract of up to 350 words, in DOC, PDF or RTF format. Please include your name, contact details and institutional affiliation. We will consider all paper submissions for inclusion in either talk or poster format (unless you indicate that you do not want your paper to be considered for one of these).
For symposia, please email a description of up to about one side of A4, detailing the content and format of your proposed session. Please also indicate the names of any confirmed speakers or session leaders.
Details concerning conference registration and accommodation are available online at www.bps.org.uk/consciousness2009
Please note that the early registration deadline is the 24th July. Registration fees rise by £10 after this date.
