Subject: CFA - Steven Pinker: Critical responses

 
The third book in the Critical Responses series will be a collection of
chapters on Steven Pinker’s ideas. While complying with scholarly standards of
accuracy and cogency, we’re looking for user-friendly papers with immediate
appeal to those who follow Pinker (sympathetically or
unsympathetically)—direct and unpretentious prose which will be immediately
readable by the intelligent non-academic. So, substantial critical content,
but written in a clear and entertaining style, aimed at a savvy, lay audience
is desired.

Papers must focus on topics that are significantly connected to the life,
work, or cultural impact of Steven Pinker, but especially to the actual
content of the ideas he advocates. We expect the chapters to come from diverse
points of view rather than reflecting any specific standpoint.

Papers should not be primarily expressions of agreement or disagreement with
Pinker’s general outlook but should critically and fairly assess particular
aspects of his oeuvre. Any relevant topic will be considered. Some
possibilities include his ideas on moral emotions, human nature, behavioral
genetics, rationality, language acquisition, linguistics, cognition,
artificial intelligence, and human progress. 

Submission Guidelines:
1. Submit an abstract (300 words) and CV by e-mail to Sandra Woien at
sandra.woien at asu.edu by August 31, 2022. 
2. Notification of accepted abstracts: September 15, 2022
3. Final papers should be approximately 4000 words. Submission deadline for
drafts of papers: December 1, 2022.
