Radical Entanglements: Navigating the Abyss of Human Supremacy and Biodiversity Loss

Call for papers for the Third Annual 

Philosophy and Religion Graduate Student Conference 

at the University of North Texas (UNT) 

organized by the UNT Philosophy & Religion Graduate Student Association

In an epoch defined by the far-reaching consequences of environmental turmoil and unraveling of biodiversity, we extend an interdisciplinary invitation to dive into the profound questions that loom over our existence.

With the title "Radical Entanglements: Navigating the Abyss of Human Supremacy and Biodiversity Loss," our conference aims to critically analyze the intricate web of human-nature relationships, urging a call for revolutionary, transdisciplinary endeavors. We aim to foster an awareness of the impending cataclysms, highlighting the necessity of taking radical ecological actions and advancing multispecies justice. Echoing the sentiments Indigenous peoples, we encourage you to extend your solidarity beyond humanity, embracing non-human entities. Inspired by Donna Haraway, we propose to embark on the creation of new “odd-kin” relationships, redefining roles and response-abilities in this intricately interwoven world. This conference invites participants to think and reflect together as well as develop collective and transformative practices that resist the abyss of this multifaceted crisis, questioning established norms and forging a path towards multispecies coexistence on our wounded planet.
