Last updated 1 November 2026. Usually updated weekly, on Mondays.
I keep this list as a service to colleagues and students working in early modern philosophy (roughly 1600 to 1800), medieval and Renaissance philosophy, and the history of philosophy of language. It is selective, not exhaustive. I choose items by hand from calls that reach me and from PhilEvents, and I leave out jobs and work outside these areas. Each entry links to the full call. Entries are removed once their deadline or event date has passed. If you know of a call or event that belongs here, email me at bhill28@uwo.ca.
