CFP: What is “Real” Philosophy, Anyway? Nonstandard Texts and the Value of Alternative Forms of Philosophical Expression

Call for Abstracts 

We are looking for abstracts for a possible NEH funded conference. The abstracts would be submitted with the grant proposal. 

We are especially interested in non-standard forms of presentation (such as a dialogue, a poetry reading and discussion, a film excerpt and discussion, etc.), but will also consider presentations that are standard in format but that engage with either historical or contemporary non-standard modes of philosophical expression (such as poetry, theatre, music, film, novels, comic books, etc.). 

We encourage presentations that support the APA mission on diversity and inclusiveness. 

Abstracts should be 200 words; presentations will be 45 minutes. 

Please email 1-2 page CV, abstract, and letter expressing interest to [email protected].
