Dear all: Please find attached the CFP for the University of Alberta Philosophy Graduate Student Conference "Disagreement," May 10-12, 2013. I would be very happy if you could distribute it to the graduate students in your department. In the meantime, I hope this finds you well. Kind regards, Yasemin Sari Publication Support Group, Co-President, Department of Philosophy University of Alberta Call for Papers: Disagreement University of Alberta Philosophy Graduate Conference May 10-12, 2013 Edmonton, Alberta Keynote Speakers: Thomas Christiano, University of Arizona Adam Morton, University of British Columbia We invite submissions of papers by graduate students and postgraduates (who were awarded their PhDs no earlier than 2007) to the graduate philosophy conference to be held on May 10-12, 2013 at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. At first, one might take ‘disagreement’ to be merely a matter of subjective opinion. Nevertheless, disagreement is a pervasive and genuine phenomenon of and in our experience which calls for philosophical reflection. This conference focuses on the notion of disagreement broadly construed. We invite papers that discuss the nature, value of, and attitudes towards disagreement. Papers from both the analytic and continental traditions, as well as from disciplines and traditions of investigation other than philosophy are welcomed. Possible questions for consideration include but are not limited to: What constitutes disagreement? What distinguishes private from public disagreement; internal from external disagreement; or intra- from inter-personal disagreement? Are all disagreements resolvable, and on what grounds? Are disagreements structured by power dynamics? Is reconciliation always desirable or is there value in perennial discord? Can there be faultless or harmless disagreements in the realms of ethics/politics/aesthetics/epistemology, etc.? If so does this entail some sort of relativism or pluralism, and if it does is this a bad thing? Deadline for submissions: January 30, 2013 (Extended from January 10, 2013) Submission Guidelines: Papers should not exceed 3000 words. They should be prepared for blind review and sent as a PDF file to [log in to unmask] In a separate PDF attachment, please include your name, academic affiliation, e-mail address, paper title, and an abstract of no more than 150 words.
