CALL FOR PAPERS
\n \;
\nDEPARTMENT OF PHILOSOPHY AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY
\n \;
\nInternational Conference: Philosophy of the Black Experience
\n \;
\nMarch 28-30\, 2024
\nHoward University\, Washington DC
\nThe demand/struggle for racial equality\, identity\, and justice by populations racialized as Black (and other people of color) in the United States and anywhere around the world remain issues of pressing philosophical concern. The struggle for equality and justice requires not only theoretical articulations but also practical accounts upon which to make the demands. Thus\, the contributions of the Black race and continent to global civilization need exploration\, showcasing\, and articulations because they are neither fully appreciated nor given due global recognition. Whether those contributions come from Black Africa\, Latin America\, the Caribbean\, or elsewhere\, their historical understanding and relevance to contemporary concerns must be adamantly asserted to avoid further marginalization. This conference focuses on the philosophy of the black experience throughout human history to explore the significant contributions and denials of the black race in world civilization. The conference is a philosophical interrogation of black experience in global and national affairs\; hence it welcomes papers in all areas of intellectualism that articulate the philosophy of the black experience in any area of human endeavors.

This workshop welcomes papers that investigate and reevaluate the work and legacy of John Dewey as concerns race\, racism\, and colonialism\, and in doing so\, make use of recently published primary source documents by American philosopher and educator John Dewey\, as well as recent research on Dewey and in philosophy of race\, postcolonial and decolonial theory\, critical race studies\, the history of American philosophy\, and environmental pragmatism and ecofeminism. The goal is neither hagiography nor condemnation of Dewey as an individual\, but rather to explore two interrelated goals. First\, we seek to investigate Dewey\, the influential public intellectual\, as a central node in networks of thought and action as concerns opposition to racism and colonialism\, as well as networks that entrench white ignorance and imperialism. Second\, we seek to take Dewey\, the pragmatist philosopher and social thinker\, alone and in dialogue with others\, as an imperfect but valuable resource and starting point for theory and scholarship on race and antiracism\, post- and decolonial theory\, and cultural pluralism. To fulfill these goals\, the workshop will be organized into three specific themes as the focus of each day of the workshop: \;Dewey and the African Diaspora\, \;Environmental Pragmatism and Coloniality\, \;and \;Education for a Global Future.
\nOur eventual goal is for the papers presented at this workshop to be revised and published as an edited collection.

In contrast to a crisis epistemology&mdash\;which is apt to intensify colonial oppression due to the assumption that present challenges are new\, unprecedented\, and urgent&mdash\;epistemologies of coordination seek to address challenges by developing and renewing relations of kinship\, expressed as moral bonds of mutual responsibility. Inspired by this recommendation toward coordination\, this conference aims to promote dialogue among philosophers of environmental justice and of conservation science. We seek to discover what we can mutually cogenerate toward the common goals of stewardship and environmental justice. Central to the conference are the questions: What can philosophers of conservation science learn from those of environmental justice\, and vice versa? What would coordination look like?

In this context\, refusals have been variously conceived as strategies for interrupting established colonial knowledges\, as artistic or political flights from the dehumanisations of the anti-Black world\, as creative practices for imagining otherwise\, or even as those wayward forms of existence that evade the patriarchal and heteronormative enclosures of the colonial world of Man. For many\, the critical potential of refusal also indexes a complex sense of temporality\, in that refusals can rupture the historical structures of coloniality and the anti-Black world\, without being premised on the linear\, teleological\, or utopian notions of futurity that have tended to dominate Western political and poetical imaginaries.
\nThis one-day hybrid symposium\, collaboratively organised between members of Newcastle&rsquo\;s School X and CAPPE Brighton\, and with support from the Leverhulme Trust\, invites scholars from across the humanities to reflect on the specifically temporal aspects of practices and processes of refusal. Taking the thinking of refusal and temporality that has arisen in the fields of critical Black studies and decolonial philosophy as starting points\, we aim to create a locus for considering how practices and figurations of refusal can disrupt\, upend\, or signal beyond hegemonic conceptions of being and existing in time. To this end\, we especially welcome presentations addressing the following (and other related) themes:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Refusal\, the colonial past and the &ldquo\;afterlives of slavery&rdquo\;
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Refusal\, utopia and futurity
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Refusal and the (de)colonial imagination
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Refusal\, critical fabulation and temporalities of the archive
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Refusal\, (anti)sociality and social upheaval
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Figurations of temporal refusal in literature (including in the Caribbean context)
\nTo facilitate participation from scholars across the globe\, the symposium will be held in a hybrid format throughout. Registration will also be free.
\nInterested participants should submit a 300-word abstract outlining their intervention\, alongside a 100-word biographical note\, to David.Ventura@ncl.ac.uk. Any questions or access requirements relating to the symposium can also be addressed to this email.
\nThe deadline for submissions is 29 February 2024. All applicants will be notified of the outcome within two weeks.
\nWe particularly welcome applications from early career researchers and researchers belonging to underrepresented communities within the academy.
