I know that many folks are going to be at the FEAST conference, but for those who were unable to get to IL, I wanted to remind folks that this year's California Roundtable on Philosophy and Race is happening the same weekend in Boston. Professor Linda Martín Alcoff of Hunter College is our keynote speaker this year!
If you're living near Boston or NYC, it would be great if you could come and join us! And if you can help us publicize it by sending it to your listservs and colleagues who can't make it to FEAST this year, that would be very helpful also. Many thanks!
Below is the updated program. For more information, please go to the website: www.caroundtable.webs.com
