The UT Philosophy Department&rsquo\;s annual Tennessee Value and Agency &ldquo\;TVA&rdquo\; Conference was inaugurated in the fall of 2012. \; The Conference focuses on and advances work in two areas central to the Department&rsquo\;s research mission and graduate program: \; value theory and agency/action theory. \; Each year there is a conference theme\, addressed by keynote speakers and roughly a dozen presenters selected by the conference organizers upon blind review of abstracts received in response to an internationally distributed call for abstracts. \; (See the program for the \;2012 &ldquo\;TVA&rdquo\; conference here\, and the \;2013 &ldquo\;TVA&rdquo\; conference here.) \; The conference takes place over a \;Thursday \;through \;Sunday \;in the fall term. \; The Conference is free and open to the public\; students and scholars with special interests in the conference theme are encouraged to attend. \; Participants and attendees enjoy high quality sessions with lively and productive discussions that typically spill over to receptions\, meals\, and so on.
