19th Annual Graduate Student Philosophy Conference

On March 20-21, 2026, the Western Michigan University Graduate Student Association of Philosophers (GSAP) will host its 19th Annual Graduate Student Philosophy Conference. The conference will be fully in-person, and will have a (very) broad theme on the philosophy of science, which will include (but not be limited to) the following areas: history and philosophy of science, philosophy of physics and cosmology, cognitive science, philosophy of medicine/bioethics, scientific metaphysics, epistemology of science, and decision theory. In general, we will not be picky with topics insofar as they are somewhere close to the broad theme. 

We are excited to be joined by Robert DiSalle of the University of Western Ontario and Robyn Bluhm of Michigan State University as our two keynote speakers. We are also happy to be joined by our WMU alumnus speaker, Jared Hanson-Park of Texas A&M University, who graduated from our program in 2017 and subsequently received their PhD in philosophy from the University of Miami in 2022. 

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will be provided during the conference.
