Hello All!

The submission deadline for the FALL 2022 US Midwest SWIP conference has been extended until Monday, May 9th. The full CFA is attached.

Looking forward to gathering again (after a long and hard hiatus) in beautiful Milwaukee come September!

All good wishes,

Meredith

The Midwest U.S. Division of the Society for Women in Philosophy invites papers in all areas of feminist philosophy, theory, and praxis, including but not limited to ethics, social/political philosophy, aesthetics, phenomenology, existentialism, epistemology, and metaphysics. U.S. Midwest SWIP is interested in enriching discussions about contemporary social and political issues, and we welcome work that interrogates how such issues intersect with race, gender, ability, sexuality, class, and the like.

Submission Guidelines:  

Please submit an extended abstract of 800-1000 words with a preliminary bibliography prepared for blind review (we will also accept full paper submissions of no more than 3000 words). Also include a cover page with the title, institutional affiliation, rank or occupation, and email address of the presenters (as a separate attachment). Please send all submissions as MS word documents to: [log in to unmask] by May 9th, 2022.  

In light of this year’s keynote address, we are particularly interested in submissions that engage with the art of trespassing, how to use art resistantly, liminality and resistance, Latinidad, and/or the work of Mariana Ortega specifically, and will give preference to submissions that address these topics. 

The program committee gives preference to women and members of other marginalized groups who are working on feminist projects that engage multiple axes of oppression. We also welcome the work of scholars at any stage in their careers.
