\nThis symposium inquires into the conceptions of the human built into generative AI. \;
GenAI systems sound like us: they say &ldquo\;I understand\,&rdquo\; they apologize\, they appear to care. They&rsquo\;re also made for a user\, and so they come with assumptions about who that user is: what they need and what they can already do. And they&rsquo\;re built on assumptions about what intelligence itself is. Some of these pictures of the human reflect choices made by engineers and product teams\; others were assumed without anyone ever deciding. It all demands to be examined. This symposium brings these and related questions into public discussion\, asking what it means to be human at a time when these systems are made like us and for us\, even as this &lsquo\;us&rsquo\; is still being decided. \;
We welcome work from any discipline in the humanities\, the social sciences\, and technical fields such as engineering\, computer science\, and data science. Possible topics include\, but are not limited to:

\nLimited travel grants may be available for presenters from outside Boston\, with priority for students in New England. \;

\nMarch 6-7\, 2027 | Pulaski\, Tennessee
Proposal Deadline: October 20\, 2026
The University of Tennessee Southern is pleased to announce an interdisciplinary conference exploring the crucial intersection of AI and the Humanities. \;
\nConference dates: March 5-6\, 2027
\nSubmission deadline: October 20\, 2026
\nLocation: University of Tennessee Southern\, Pulaski\, TN
\nCall for Proposals:
\n"Technology's promise is great\, but it requires our liberal arts in equal measure\, the fuzzy and the techie working together in pursuit of shared human goals"
\n-Scott Hartley \;The Fuzzy and the Techie
\nAI is a Humanities issue. \;Questions about meaning\, creativity\, language\, ethics\, interpretation\, education\, and human identity have become central to public conversations about artificial intelligence. \;
\nThis conference aims to bring together researchers\, teachers\, students\, and stakeholders \;to examine how AI is reshaping the humanities\, and how the humanities can shape the future of AI. We recognize that there are many stakeholders at the heart of this discussion\, and we therefore invite perspectives that range from the academic to the corporate. We especially welcome proposals that deal with pedagogy\, humanities research\, issues pertinent to four-year public regionals\, and regional workforce development. We welcome presentations from academic scholars\, humanities educators\, graduate and undergraduate students\, community partners\, and industry leaders. \; \;
\nThis conference has a further specific focus on the particular institutional and geographic contexts similar to the University of Tennessee Southern. Nestled in the rural rolling hills of southern middle Tennessee\, 70 miles south of Music City (Nashville\, TN)\, and 45 miles north of Huntsville\, AL&rsquo\;s growing tech hub\, the University of Tennessee Southern straddles diverse industries with seemingly competing interests. Further\, as a rural area with developing agricultural business\, the arts and humanities often play second fiddle to disciplines with more perceived industry demand. Resource scarcity further stymies efforts to develop innovative technologies such as AI and their scholarly and pedagogical application\, particularly at public regional universities. This conference will explore the role that humanities and AI can play in rural areas with competing industry needs\, at public regional institutions\, and in areas experiencing cultural drought.
\nPossible topics may include but are not limited to the following:
\nAI and the Humanities
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Ethics and moral responsibility in AI
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Rethinking or reaffirming the value of the humanities in light of AI
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Human intelligence and/vs artificial intelligence
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Definitions of the human in the age of AI
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;AI and the future of humanities scholarship
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;AI-informed humanities research
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;AI and authorship
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Fine Arts and AI
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Creative writing in the age of AI
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Linguistics and LLMs
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Environmental humanities
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Resistance to AI
\nAI in the Classroom
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Critical thinking\, reading\, and writing with/alongside/vs AI
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Teaching with AI
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;"AI-proof" assignments
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;AI policies in the writing classroom
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Student perspectives
\nAI\, Industry\, and Leadership
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Professional and technical writing with AI
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Industry leadership and the humanities
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Humanities administration and leadership
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Curriculum development
\nPresentation formats: \;
\nAcceptable presentation formats include pre-formed panels and roundtables\, individual presentations\, and workshops. Proposals should clarify the presentation format. \;
\nSubmissions for the above formats should include the following:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;250-300 word abstract and a brief bio (up to 150 words) for individual presentations
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \;Approx. 600-word abstract for pre-formed panels and workshops along with a brief bio for each presenter (up to 150 words). Panels should include 3-4 speakers and a chair\; roundtables should include no more than 6 presenters and a moderator or respondent. \;
\nSubmission: Please submit your proposals for any of the above approved formats to \;https://tinyurl.com/yc5xr63f \;by \;October 20\, 2026. Please contact the College of Arts and Sciences with any questions: \;utsartsandsciences@utsouthern.edu. \; \;

\nThe American Association of Philosophy Teachers (AAPT) and the APA Committee on the Teaching of Philosophy (CTP) seek presenters for the following sessions at the AAPT-APA Teaching Hub at the 2027 APA Pacific Division meeting\, March 24&ndash\;27\, in Portland\, Oregon.

The Teaching Hub aims to offer a range of high quality and inclusive development opportunities that address the teaching of philosophy at all levels.
\nSESSION: The Role of Primary Texts in the Age of AI
\nSESSION GOALS: \;AI has transformed how many of our students approach assigned reading in the philosophy classroom. Fewer students enter college thinking of themselves as readers and many report that they have never read a whole book. This puts us philosophy teachers in a difficult position\, given that philosophy texts have always challenged even the most dedicated of readers. While there exists much literature on how to teach students how to read philosophy properly\, we now face a different question concerning the value and purpose of reading a philosophy text when the student can easily rely on an LLM to summarize the reading for them. We invite submissions that address the following or related questions:
\nFORMAT: Rather than a traditional paper presentation\, Teaching Hub sessions are expected to be highly interactive. Proposals should indicate how audience members will participate in the session. The primary goal for the Teaching Hub is for attendees to walk away with something concrete to deploy in their own classrooms/teaching context.
\nWhat does the Teaching Hub mean by &ldquo\;highly interactive&rdquo\;? This includes (but is not limited to) the following:

\nSESSION: The Varieties of Philosophical Experience
\nSESSION GOALS: \;Many of us philosophy teachers recognize the importance of clearly communicating student learning outcomes and building assessment techniques that reliably track how well a student is meeting those expectations. One thing that can get lost in our focus on such objectively measured standards is what it &ldquo\;feels like&rdquo\; for students to be in our classrooms. What is the phenomenology of learning philosophy? What can a teacher/mentor/instructor do to create meaningful philosophical experiences for our students in the classroom and what constitutes a meaningful/good/valuable experience with philosophy? What constitutes a bad experience with philosophy? We invite submissions that explore these questions concerning these varieties of philosophical experiences and how teachers can deliberately foster (or avoid) them. Proposals might also address the following or related questions:

\nCFP: Philosophy and Form
\nThe University of Chicago Philosophy Review is looking for reflections on Philosophical forms to be published on its online experimental section Meditations. \;
\nWe are looking for both experimentation and analysis of philosophical form. \;
\nIn experimentation with form we are looking for philosophical inquiries written in a non-traditional format tackling any topic. This means socratic dialogues\, scholastic structure\, aphorisms\, diagrams\, and anything else of the sort is wanted. \;
\nAnalysis on form is also welcome. This would look like more traditional philosophical essays tackling\, analyzing\, or questioning the format in which philosophy is done. Why do we default to the essay? Is there a better form in which to do philosophy? Questions such as this and more are encouraged.
\nAnalyses and experimentations on form do not have to be related or submitted together. If you find it to the benefit of your argument to do so then you are more than welcome to\, but The Review recommends you focus on one\, lest one spreads their philosophical efforts too thin.
\nPieces should be fewer than 1\,500 words and be formatted in Chicago Style. Creative\, experimental\, and unorthodox writing is encouraged\, so long as a high standard of philosophical rigour is maintained.
\nSubmissions will be subject to a blind peer review process. The Review will notify authors of its decisions on a rolling basis\, starting September 30th\, 2026. Submissions close on April 4th\, 2027.

\nWe invite submissions for a philosophy conference on connections between experience and value. The conference aims to bring together scholars working at the intersection of philosophy of mind\, value theory\, and the history of philosophy. The conference will feature a keynote address by Dr. José\; Luis Bermú\;dez.
\nThe central question of the conference is broad: what\, if anything\, makes experience valuable?
\nWe especially welcome papers that bring ancient or historical accounts of perception\, affect\, cognition\, and value into conversation with contemporary debates about consciousness\, knowledge\, agency\, ethics\, and technology.
\nPossible topics include\, but are not limited to:
\nAncient and historical accounts of perception\, imagination\, desire\, emotion\, cognition and flourishing
\nValue in perception\, attention\, awareness\, and whether value requires consciousness\, access\, reflection\, or rational uptake
\nThe role of experience in well-being\, welfare\, the good life\, sentience\, and moral status
\nWhether experience reveals\, represents\, responds to\, or helps constitute value
\nTransformative experience\, rational choice\, and imaginative acquaintance
\nThe significance of lived-experience and situated knowledge
\nThe conference is intended to encourage dialogue between scholars who might not ordinarily attend the same event: ancient and historical philosophers interested in psychology\, ethics\, and value\; philosophers of mind working on consciousness\, affect\, attention\, and perception\; ethicists and value theorists concerned with welfare\, moral status\, and the good life\; epistemologists and philosophers of action interested in memory\, rational choice\, and transformative experience\; and philosophers examining artificial consciousness\, and technologically mediated forms of life. \;
\nOnly submissions from graduate students (and undergraduate students who have been accepted to a graduate program) are welcome.
\nPlease submit a paper of 3500 words (excluding references and abstract) that has been prepared for blind review. Papers should be suitable for a presentation of approximately 30 minutes. Each paper will be followed by comments from a Texas Tech graduate student and then opened up for Q/A followed by discussion. In the submission form below\, please also include your name\, school\, email\, and an abstract of 150-200 words.
\nSubmissions should be submitted by February 1st to the following link: https://forms.gle/Y1c5GHdRmcZp6i536
\nNotifications of acceptance will be sent by March 1st. For questions\, please contact Ori Respler (orespler@ttu.edu).
