We are thrilled to have Professor Susan Brison of Dartmouth University joining us as this year's keynote speaker!</p>\n<p>Submissions may engage with any aspect of the nature of speech acts\, the moral norms and considerations governing those acts and/or the political status of freedom of speech. Some possible questions to engage with might include the following (though this list is by no means exhaustive):</p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>What is a speech act? What counts? What doesn&rsquo\;t?</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>What roles do context\, intent\, and/or uptake play in speech acts?</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>How can speech acts be harmful? How should we assess those harms?</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>What are our responsibilities with respect to the idea of freedom of speech on an individual\, societal\, or institutional level</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>What counts as speech in contexts of protest? What are our moral and political responsibilities in these contexts?</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>What other values might compete with the freedom of speech? How ought we adjudicate conflicts among these values?</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>What is the relationship between freedom of speech and other key democratic ideals\, e.g.\, pluralism\, self-determination\, various kinds of moral and political advocacy\, etc.</p>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p>How should we conceptualize the value of speech on campuses and in educational/epistemic contexts?</p>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Abstracts of 500-750 words should be formatted for blind review and submitted via email to <a>utkphilgradconference@gmail.com</a> by February 22\, 2019.
