PHILOSOPHIES OF INCARCERATION
\n&\;
\nTHE INCARCERATION OF PHILOSOPHY
\n \;
\nKeynote Speaker: Dr. Sarah K. Tyson
\n22nd Annual Philosophy Conference
\nSponsored by the Philosophy Graduate Student Union
\nMarch 17&ndash\;18 2017
\nVillanova University
\n \;
\nCall For Papers
\nWith 2.2 million people currently in national prisons or jails\, the United States is the world leader in incarcerated populations. More than 60% of prisoners belong to racial or ethnic minorities. The rate of incarcerated women is increasing almost twice as quickly as that of men. Recognizing that incarceration has become one of the most pressing social issues of the 21st century\, this conference aims to philosophically engage with issues of incarceration by bringing together scholars and activists from a variety of fields to explore the theme of &ldquo\;philosophies of incarceration\,&rdquo\; broadly construed. As the subject of incarceration is inherently bound up with issues of race\, gender\, class\, disability\, and sexuality\, we encourage approaches and analyses that engage with incarceration from an intersectional framework. In addition to examining various philosophical investigations of the phenomena of incarceration\, this conference also challenges us to look at ways that the rigid requirements of the practice of philosophy itself often isolates\, disciplines\, and confines us. For this reason\, we invite not only philosophers but also scholars from a wide variety of departments\, mass incarceration professionals and activists\, journalists\, clergy\, formally incarcerated persons\, and currently incarcerated persons to propose panels\, papers\, and poster sessions.
\nTopics of interest include (but are not limited to):

\nWe welcome full paper submissions (maximum 3\,000 words)\, as well as extended abstracts (minimum 500 words). For panel proposals\, please include an extended abstract of the panel in general\, as well as an extended abstract for each paper in the panel. Please ensure all submissions are prepared for anonymous review.
