Concerned Philosophers for Peace

28th Annual Conference

Hosted by Loyola University Maryland

Baltimore, MD

October 22nd-24th, 2015

Conference Theme:

Cultural Violence

Cultural violence refers to the aspects of a culture that can be used to legitimize direct or structural violence. Cultural violence limits our possibilities to imagine peaceful forms of living by normalizing direct and structural violence. Thus, to understand the causes of violence it is necessary to unmask the discourses that make it acceptable. This year’s CPP conference invites submissions on the following topics (however, we welcome all papers relevant to the mission of the CPP): 

-The nature of cultural violence

-Manifestation of cultural violence in different domains (race, ethnicity, gender, class, nationality, religion)

-Discourses of cultural violence

                              -Educational Systems
