DESCRIPTION:<p>The topic of this year&rsquo\;s conference will be <strong>Identity.</strong></p>\n<p>This notion has preoccupied philosophers from antiquity until today. This preoccupation has manifested itself in many ways\, through problems that span across most areas of contemporary philosophy. Metaphysicians wonder about diachronic personal identity or composition as identity\, philosophers of mind have in the past proposed the mind/brain identity theory\, while philosophers of mathematics and logicians have been concerned with the logical relation of identity\, or identity among different mathematical structures\, or the metaphysical identity of numbers. Socially inclined philosophers have sought to account for minoritarian identities in philosophical discourse\, and how self- and community-identity are affected or determined by factors such as gender or race. Philosophers of language have grappled with the identity of co-referring terms and the resulting Frege puzzle\, or vague identity. <strong></strong></p>\n<p>The Philosophy Graduate Student Association of University of Connecticut at Storrs is very pleased to organize a conference in order to discuss the many and often problematic aspects of identity. We invite submissions on any of the philosophical areas mentioned\, but also on topics that come from any other area as long as they are pertinent to the theme of identity broadly construed.</p>\n<p>We are very excited and honored to announce that this year&rsquo\;s keynote speaker will be <strong>Richard Kimberly Heck</strong> from Brown University. Prof. Heck will talk on issues of gender and sexuality.</p>\n<p><strong>Important Information</strong></p>\n<p>The conference will take place on <strong>April 25 2020&nbsp\;</strong>at the University of Connecticut in <strong>Storrs\, CT</strong>.</p>\n<p>The deadline to submit your paper ***has been extended*** to&nbsp\;<strong>February 24th 2020</strong>.
