Applied Phenomenology: Collaborative Investigations

The New York Phenomenology Research Group invites regional phenomenologists to offer works-in-progress in a colloquium event emphasizing collaborative research. The one-day event will take place on February 21st at the New School for Social Research in New York City. The theme of the event is Applied Phenomenology, broadly construed. Below is a suggested but not restrictive list of potential categories:

Feminist Phenomenology

Phenomenology of Embodiment

Phenomenology and Science

Phenomenology of Art

Political Phenomenology

Phenomenology of Economics

Phenomenology and Praxis

This event is geared towards encouraging participants to research and work through ideas with one another, rather than merely having them present completed works in a traditional conference style. It’s our sincere hope to bring together students working through similar problems in phenomenology, in order to build a supportive network of emerging phenomenologists and philosophers in the New York area. For this reason, this event will not host any keynote speakers. Rather, the structure of this conference will be focused on encouraging student research and community in a collaborative environment.  

We welcome short, in-progress papers that deal with topics regarding both the canonical tradition and phenomenological methods as mediums of inquiry. Papers should be no longer than 10-15 minutes when presented, and will be organized into panels (4-5) according to topic. Each panel will be approximately two hours, with the first hour dedicated to brief presentations, and the second hour to open conversation, Q & A, and collaborative research. Group research and panel proposals are also welcome.

Please submit your paper, prepared for blind review, to [email protected] with any questions you may have, by January 10, 2014.
