The Eastern Study Group of NAKS invites submissions for detailed abstracts (1,000-1,200 words) for its 2026 annual meeting, to take place at the University of Toronto, in Toronto, Ontario. Submissions (in .doc, .docx, or .pdf format) should be prepared for anonymous review and include a word count. Please supply author name, affiliation, and contact information in a separate file. Graduate students should note their status in the contact information. Please send all abstracts electronically enaks2026@gmail.com.

The selection committee welcomes contributions on all topics in Kant scholarship and the Kantian philosophical tradition (both systematic and historically-oriented), including discussions of Kant’s immediate predecessors and successors.

The best graduate student paper will receive a $300 stipend and be eligible for the Markus Herz Prize awarded by NAKS. Papers already presented at other NAKS study groups or meetings are not eligible for submission. Presenters must be members of NAKS in good standing (though this is not required in order to submit a paper).
