List, FYI
Graduate Student Session (travel funding available)
Graduate students are invited to submit papers for the 47th annual meeting
of the Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy, to be held in
the City of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. The central theme of the
conference is Inter-American Philosophy. While papers and proposals in all
areas of American Philosophy are welcome, some preference will be given to
papers and proposals examining representative topics such as:
- Past, present and possible future philosophical connections between
philosophers and philosophic traditions in different parts of the Americas,
especially with the Classical American philosophical traditions.
- North American and Latin American Philosophy: explorations of the
mutual influence of philosophy done in the north and the south or fruitful
comparisons of the philosophical insights of prominent philosophers on both
sides of the continent, including Latinx and indigenous thought.
- Examination and elaboration of the important contributions of
philosophers in the Americas (e.g., Pragmatism, Mexican Existentialism) to
past and present problems in the Analytic and Continental traditions.
- Philosophers on the common ideals and common socio-political problems
of the Americas. For example:
- Democracy and decolonialism, its nature, prospects and challenges in
the Americas;
- How philosophy can contribute to the amelioration of the common
problems of North and South America.
- Philosophical ideas and debates about the identity of the Americas
in relation to other nations, regions, and cultures.
- Philosophy of technology and science in the Americas, environmental
practices and movements throughout the Americas, and Philosophy of
Education (including philosophy for children) in and throughout the
Americas.
