Philosophy in the Wild conferences are motivated by the idea that a shift in environment can engender a shift in perspective. Doing philosophy outside affords a new relation to the world we theorize, and opens new avenues for philosophical thought.

Our conference takes place July 25-27, 2025, at Sideling Hill Creek State Park, MD. Sideling Hill Creek is one of Maryland's healthiest stream systems, and–for the plant lovers in the audience–is home to the rare harperella plant (Ptilimnium nodosum)!This event is a small, outdoor, wifi-free (i.e., low-tech) event focused on fostering philosophical community and engagement. We are open to a wide range of presentation types, including experimental presentations or other creative proposals.

Our keynote speaker is TBA.
