OVERVIEW

The Charles Darwin Scholar Program was established in 2013 at Charles Darwin University, to enhance the work and legacy of its namesake. Professor of Philosophy, Daniel Dennett, has been selected as the 2018 Charles Darwin Scholar. The conference is themed around the Charles Darwin Scholar Award, with a priority placed on research interests of Dennett in the topics of human consciousness and evolutionary biology, particularly as these topics relate to adaptation, both cultural and biological.

We invite submissions on a range of topics, including:
