UCLA Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) Conference 2017: Critiquing the Canon

UCLA Minorities and Philosophy Conference 2017

Critiquing the Canon

January 21st, 2017

UCLA

Keynote Speaker: Peter K.J. Park (University of Texas at Dallas)

The UCLA chapter of Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) will host a conference addressing the topic of the philosophical canon. In recent years, attention has been drawn to the exclusionary practices resulting in the ``core'' works of philosophy---those texts most often examined within academic debates and university curricula. We aim to facilitate a critical discussion of these practices.

In addition to paper presentations, the conference will include a roundtable discussion on pedagogy, which will be organized around the question of how we can respond as teachers to the content of our syllabi. All conference attendees are invited to participate.
