Expanding the Notions of Community and Solidarity
Keynote Speaker: Tina Chanter, DePaul University
The 4th annual Philosophy Graduate Student Conference will be held February 15-16, 2008 at the University of Memphis, in Memphis, TN. The purpose of the conference will be to discuss the notions of community and solidarity by expanding them into various areas in contemporary thoughts. This conference aims to provide a forum for graduate students to present their ideas concerning how we can re-think the questions on community and solidarity today and to provide new theoretical and practical possibilities for political and ethical thinking. Our hope is to capture a wide array of interests and perspectives, tapping into multiple areas such as feminism, race theory, and post-colonial theory in contemporary applications to politics from both continental and analytic perspectives.
Deadline for submission of papers is December 15, 2007. Papers should be sent as Word Documents not to exceed 12 double-spaced pages. Papers should be suitable for blind review, including a cover letter with all relevant personal information (name, contact information, university affiliation). Electronic submissions are preferred.
