Deadline: January 24th 2025

Questions: email [email protected]

The University of Windsor Philosophy Graduate/Undergraduate Conference planning committee invites submissions of abstracts for our 2025 conference: Aesthetics of Life & Dogmas of the Mind. We are honored to announce that our keynote address will be delivered by Dr. Leonard Lawlor from Pennsylvania State University. Abstracts from all areas of philosophy are welcome and will be blindly peer-reviewed. High-quality papers that are accepted and presented will be considered for publication in the 2025 conference journal.

Theme: Does art, or aesthetic life more broadly, inherently resist dogmatism, or can it serve as a medium for dogmatic propagation? This conference seeks to investigate the complex relationship between aesthetics and dogmatic frameworks, focusing on how art, literature, performance, and narrative could disrupt established paradigms or reinforce them through aesthetic conventions.

Please submit your application to the conference’s google form (linked below). Abstracts should include the title of the paper, be anonymized, clearly state the thesis or question being investigated, and the general structure of the paper. The deadline for submissions will be January 24, 2025, with the conference taking place March 7th-8th. Accepted participants will have 20 minutes to present their paper, followed by a 10-minute question period. If you have any questions, please contact Omar Awa at [email protected].
