The Midwest Division of the Society for Women in Philosophy will be 
meeting November 6-8 at Michigan State University, East Lansing, 
Michigan. The Midwest SWIP meeting is an interdisciplinary conference 
with a particular emphasis on troubling the discipline of philosophy and 
the theory/practice distinction. We invite papers in all areas of 
feminist philosophy, from political theory and ethics to metaphysics and 
epistemology, panels, and performances engaging feminist praxis and 
theorizing conceived broadly. The Society has a history of friendly 
engagement at the intersection of race, class, gender and sexuality.
