The Society for Women in Philosophy (Pacific Division) is inviting contributions for its annual conference.
November 9-10, 2013
Arizona State University
Tempe, Arizona
Keynote speaker: Margaret Walker (Marquette)
The theme of the 2013 PSWIP meeting is:
Sustaining and What Sustains
We invite papers that think broadly about the theme of sustaining and
what sustains. When we think of what needs to be sustained, we might
think of the environment, communities, cultures, friendships, family,
self-esteem, trust, the humanities, human and animal
welfare, and ourselves as knowers and cultural producers. In light of
what humanly created or natural threats does the need to be sustained
arise? In sustaining what matters, what ways of relating, activities,
attitudes, and socio-political principles and
structures are important? What is it that sustains us as individuals
and collectively, bodily, epistemically, culturally, aesthetically, and
spiritually?
Papers
do not need to address the theme in order to be considered. We invite
work from all areas of philosophy and all ways of doing philosophy. We
are a friendly group and promise good conversation and lively debate.
In order to make our conference affordable we do not charge a registration fee. Some refreshments/food will be provided. Small travel stipends are available for graduate students and un/underemployed philosophers. Please let us know with your submission if you would like to be considered for one of these.
Deadline for submission: July 1, 2013
Please send your ~3,000 word paper suitable for a 30 minute presentation to:
Nellie Wieland
Executive Secretary, PSWIP
