DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Call for Proposals:</strong></p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp\;</strong></p>\n<p><strong>The Imagination: Powers and Possibilities</strong></p>\n\n<p>22&ndash\;23 March 2024</p>\n<p>Boston College (Chestnut Hill\, MA)</p>\n<p>Department of Philosophy</p>\n<p><br>While often relegated to the realm of fantasy or escapism\, the imagination nonetheless stands at the heart of human experience&mdash\;giving rise to artistic expression\, therapeutic catharsis\, the projection of power and scientific possibilities\, and even opening avenues to the divine. The imagination carries within it a characteristically human quality\, along with the very possibility for the transgression (or transcendence) of that humanity toward the sublime.</p>\n\n<p>This conference invites proposals on topics related to the nature\, necessity\, and ethical usage/unethical manipulation of the imaginative faculties\, including (but not limited to): literary and aesthetic endeavors\, religious and sacramental experience\, politics and propaganda\, or in the task of scientific inquiry itself. Submissions from graduate students across a diverse range of disciplines are welcomed and encouraged.</p>\n\n<p>The conference will take place from 22&ndash\;23 March 2024 on the Chestnut Hill campus of Boston College. Speakers should anticipate 20 minutes to present\, with time for questions to follow.</p>\n\n<p>Applicants should prepare anonymized abstracts for blind review between 350&ndash\;500 words\, submitted via email as a Word or PDF document\, to frwoody@bc.edu</a>. In the body of the email\, please include the following identifying information:</p>\n\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Name</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Email Address</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Institutional Affiliation <em>&amp\;</em> Program</p>\n<p>o&nbsp\;&nbsp\; Paper Title</p>\n\n<p><strong>Submissions are due by 11:59pm (EST) on 31 December 2023.</strong> Submissions will be reviewed anonymously by the conference committee\, with notifications to applicants regarding decisions by 25 January 2024.</p>\n\n<p>For further questions\, please contact conference organizer William Woody\, S.J.
