DESCRIPTION:<p>The philosophy graduate students at Boston University are soliciting papers and abstracts from graduate students in any area of philosophy for the Boston University Annual Graduate Student Conference on &ldquo\;Bodies in Contexts: Epistemological Considerations for a Diverse Society&rdquo\;.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong><br></strong></p>\n<p>The recognition and appreciation of diversity lie at the intersection of the epistemological\, the ethical\, and the practical. Commitment to diversity calls for a change in our linguistic\, epistemic\, and ethical practices from everyday life to medical\, legal\, and academic contexts.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong><br></strong></p>\n<p>However\, one concern is that philosophy has not provided sufficient room for reflecting on bodies\, identities\, and their situatedness within social contexts. Such reflections are a necessary step for a meaningful philosophical contribution towards a diverse and more equitable society.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Our keynote speaker this year will be Prof. Rima Basu (Claremont McKenna College).</p>\n<p><strong><br></strong></p>\n<p>We welcome contributing papers that address the following questions and topics:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Standpoint epistemology</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Relationship between embodiment and identity</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>The epistemic implications of bodily situatedness&nbsp\;</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>The epistemology of diversity</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>The possibility of bodily objectivity</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Bodily awareness and perception</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Bodily oppression</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Bodily autonomy (e.g. in sexual and/or medical contexts)</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Bodies and decolonization</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Underrepresented philosophical traditions&rsquo\; approaches to bodies</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>The study of disability</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Diversity as a value</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>Language inclusivity</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Information for Submission:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Submissions should be in the form of a short abstract (200-250 words) and a full-length paper (4\,000-5\,000 words).
