Conference Announcement Theme: California Roundtable on Philosophy and Race Type: 9th Annual Meeting Institution: Hunter College, City University of New York Location: New York, NY (USA) Date: 5.–6.10.2012 __________________________________________________ The California Roundtable on Philosophy and Race was begun in 2004. This roundtable is usually held during the end of September/beginning of October. During its first four years, the CRPR was alternatingly held on the campuses of University of San Francisco or California State Northridge in California, where its initial founders, Ronald Sundstrom and Gregory Velazco y Trianosky, respectively, held faculty appointments. Since then, the CRPR has gone national, but it has retained its original name to remember its roots. This roundtable brings together philosophers of race, and those working in related fields in a small and congenial setting to share their work and to help further this sub-discipline of philosophy. Philosophical papers are invited on any issue regarding race, ethnicity, or racism, and including those that take up race in the context of another topic, such as feminism, political philosophy, ethics, justice, culture, identity, biology, phenomenology, existentialism, psychoanalysis, metaphysics, or epistemology.
