Call for papers
\nMichigan State University 17th Annual Graduate Philosophy Conference
\nStarting from the Actual: Working Against Oppression and Marginalization
\nMarch 18th-19th\, 2016
\nKeynote: Erinn Gilson (University of North Florida)
\nFaculty Keynote: Kyle Whyte (Michigan State University)
\nAlthough philosophy has long been concerned with issues of ethics\, social and political philosophy\, there has been a tendency in mainstream accounts to address these concerns from an abstract and privileged perspective. Philosophical theorizing detached from the actual reality of oppression within society has produced distorted understandings and helped reinforce the status quo. In our conference we want to promote philosophical theorizing that subverts such detachment and distortion. Our goal is to help create space for philosophical work that addresses oppression and marginalization from starting points of actual oppression.
\nWe encourage contributions that are working with feminist\, critical race\, decolonial\, transnational\, disability\, queer\, trans\, and Indigenous theories. Suggested topics include\, but are not limited to:
\nIntersection of multiple forms of oppression and marginalization
\nIdeal theory and non-ideal theory
\nFeminist care ethics and justice ethics
\nEpistemologies of resistance and/or epistemic oppression
\nUses and critiques of identity-based politics
\nTransnationalism\, migration\, and/or refugee status
\nClimate change and vulnerable populations
\nPolitical protest and demonstration
\nSolidarity between marginalized communities
\nFeminist moral psychology (trust\, shame\, outrage\, etc.)
\nAgency and responsibility with regard to oppression
\nAnalysis of embodiment and/or implications of embodiment for theorizing
\nMetaphilosophical and/or climate critiques of how academic philosophy is practiced as a discipline
