Borders, Identity, and Belonging

The 3rd Annual Susanne E. Foster Graduate Philosophy Conference will be held on Saturday, March 21st as a hybrid in-person/online conference. The in-person location for the conference will be Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The deadline for submitting abstracts is January 15th. 

The theme for the conference is “Borders, Identity, and Belonging.” This theme is inspired, first, by two ongoing department reading groups respectively focused on Indigenous Philosophy and the work of Gloria E. Anzaldúa. Second, by pursuing the question: how does/should philosophy respond to, help shape, and become lived in our current political moment? We welcome connections across various disciplines and approaches, such as social/political philosophy, critical epistemology, metaphysics/ontology, legal studies, literature and writing studies, pedagogy, queer/gender studies, and more.
