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.

\n\nLa rivista semestrale &ldquo\;P.O.I. &ndash\; Points of Interest&rdquo\; invita a contribuire al numero I/2024 della rivista\, sviluppandoiltemainoggettoinconformità\;aiterminidiseguitoindicatieapartiredalleriflessioniqui proposte.
\nL&rsquo\;11 marzo 2024 cadrà\; il centesimo anniversario della nascita di Franco Basaglia\, neuropsichiatra veneziano il cui lavoro ha ispirato la legge 180 (&ldquo\;Legge Basaglia&rdquo\;)\, che quarantacinque anni fa disciplinò\; la chiusura dei manicomi in Italia. Questa potrebbe essere l&rsquo\;occasione per ripensare il dibattito di quella stagione\, in una chiave non agiografica. Si tratta di domandarsi se le psichiatrie &ldquo\;alternative&rdquo\; o &ldquo\;umanistiche&rdquo\; (o addirittura le &ldquo\;anti-psichiatrie&rdquo\;) di quel periodo fossero una generosa illusione priva di fondamenti scientifici o l&rsquo\;inizio di un nuovo campo di indagine su tutta la dimensione della &ldquo\;cura&rdquo\; e della gestione dei disagi sociali e personali\, che andrebbe proseguito. Ancora\, gli psichiatri &ldquo\;alternativi&rdquo\; di quel periodo erano intrisi di filosofia\, da Jaspers a Binswanger\, dall&rsquo\;esistenzialismo francese alla fenomenologia. Del resto\, il Foucault de La storia della follia fu uno dei punti di riferimento della critica delle istituzioni manicomiali. Quell&rsquo\;esperienza fu il banco di prova dei limiti di questi approcci &ldquo\;umanistici&rdquo\;\, un loro ultimo canto prima del trionfo delle neuroscienze? O fu piuttosto una manifestazione di come la filosofia può\; fornire strumenti di critica e di soggettivazione\, come poi sarà\; anche con il femminismo e con i movimenti in favore dei diritti di genere? Si tratta\, dunque\, di ridiscutere l&rsquo\;esperienza basagliana in un campo più\; ampio di esperienze psichiatriche e psicoterapeutiche che presero il via in quel periodo\, di indagarne le radici filosofiche e politiche\, di comprenderne le ragioni di progressivo esaurimento ma anche ciò\; che resta di quella singolare esperienza politico-istituzionale italiana.
\nTra \;le \;possibili \;tematiche \;che \;tale \;numero \;intende \;accogliere:
\n\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Le figure della psichiatria alternativa tra Italia\, Europa e USA: un dibattito a più\; voci?  \;
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Le figure ispiratrici dell&rsquo\;anti-psichiatria italiana (ad es. Jaspers e Binswanger) e il peso di quest&rsquo\;ultima all&rsquo\;interno dell&rsquo\;Italian Thought
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Critica della clinica\, delle istituzioni totali e storia della follia: Foucault e le sue eredità\;

\nThe six-month journal &ldquo\;P.O.I. &ndash\; Points of Interest&rdquo\; invites you to contribute to the issue I/2024\, developing the theme presented according to the following terms\, and considering the reflections proposed here as a starting point. \;
\nMarch 11\, 2024\, will mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Franco Basaglia\, a Venetian neuropsychiatrist whose work has inspired the law 180 (&lsquo\;Basaglia Law&rsquo\;)\, which forty-five years ago determined the closure of asylums in Italy. This could be the chance to rethink that season&rsquo\;s debate\, in a non-hagiographic key. It is about asking whether &lsquo\;alternative&rsquo\; or &lsquo\;humanistic psychiatries&rsquo\; (or even &lsquo\;anti-psychiatries&rsquo\;) of that period were a generous illusion lacking scientific foundations\, or the beginning of a new field of inquiry into the whole dimension of "care" and management of social and personal distress. Debate that should be continued. Besides\, the alternative psychiatrists of that period were steeped in philosophy\, from Jaspers to Binswanger\, from the French existentialism to phenomenology. Indeed\, the Foucault of History of Madness&rsquo\;s was one the reference points of the asylum institutions. Was that experience a test to prove the limits of these &lsquo\;humanistic&rsquo\; approaches\, their last chant before neurosciences triumph? Or was it rather a manifestation of how philosophy can provide tools for critique and subjectification\, as it will later happen with feminism and movements supporting gender rights? It is\, therefore\, about re-discussing the Basaglia experience in a wider field of psychiatric and psychotherapeutic experiences launched in that period\, about investigating theirs philosophical and political roots\, and about understanding the reasons of a progressive exhaustion yet also what remains of that peculiar Italian political-institutional experience.
\n\nAmong the possible themes that this issue aims to accommodate:
\n\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The figures of alternative psychiatry between Italy\, Europe and USA: a multiple voices debate?
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The inspirational profiles of the Italian anti-psychiatry (for ex. Jaspers and Binswanger) and the weight of the latter within the Italian Thought
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Critique of the clinic\, the total institutions and the history of madness: Foucault and his legacy
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; Does it still exist a thought in /about psychiatry? The epistemological and philosophical debate on mental distress in the era of DSM
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; The &ldquo\;others&rdquo\; then and the &ldquo\;others&rdquo\; now between stigmatization and subjectivation
\nFor submitting papers\, please note the following terms and conditions.
\nThe response to this CFP must be preceded by the submission of an abstract\, which will be submitted to prior evaluation by the editorial staff\, on the basis of its relevance to the theme\, as it has been listed in the Call.
\nFinal deadline for sending the abstract (approximately 2000 characters\, spaces included): 30th March 2024. The outcome of the assessment will be transmitted after the expiry of the time limit.
\nFinal deadline for sending the full paper (20\,000 - 60\,000 characters\, spaces included): 15th May 2024
\nContributions should be unpublished and must not be simultaneously undergoing evaluation on the behalf of other journals.
\nLanguages accepted: Italian\, English\, French\, German\, Spanish.
\n\nThe journal uses a double blind peer-review system\; therefore\, the author's name and membership\, if any\, must appear only once\, under the title of the article. Papers\, in full\, must be complete with an abstract in English (max. 1500 characters\, including spaces) and 5 keywords in English.

\nMcMaster University
\n25-27 October 2024
\nSubmission deadline: 30 March 2024
\nNotification of acceptance: 6 April 2024
\nThis workshop highlights \;the subject of women and epistemic emotions &ndash\; emotions which either aid us in knowing or are themselves instances of knowledge &ndash\; in the early modern period. Paradigm examples of epistemic emotions include doubt and curiosity\, though other emotions such as love or fear may also play important epistemic roles. \;Thus\, an epistemic emotion is one that plays a causal role in driving our efforts to know something\, or in the critical reflection and revision of what it is that we know.
\nThough the ongoing recovery and reintegration project is robustly underway\, early modern women and epistemic emotions have been largely overlooked. This workshop is an effort to create and disseminate new knowledge and interpretive tools. As such\, we intend to publish revised versions of the papers presented at this workshop in an edited volume. \;
\nThe workshop features two keynote speakers &ndash\; Martina Reuter (Jyvä\;skylä\;) and Lisa Shapiro (McGill) &ndash\; and invited papers from Marcy Lascano (KU)\, Anik Waldow (Sydney)\, Getty Lustila (Northeastern)\, Aminah Hasan-Birdwell (Emory)\, Allauren Samantha Forbes (McMaster)\, Elena Gordon (McGill-Jyvä\;skylä\;)\, and Manuel Vasquez Villavicencio (McMaster). \;
\nWe have held four speaking slots open and so are inviting submissions of anonymized abstracts \;between 500-750 words. \;We are especially interested in receiving abstracts from \;early-career or emerging scholars \;(e.g.\, advanced PhD students\, CLAs/Adjuncts\, Assistant Professors) and \;contributions which highlight women philosophers&rsquo\; &ldquo\;non-traditional&rdquo\; philosophical texts \;&ndash\; e.g.\, letters\, plays\, and novels. Please also include a coversheet with name\, position\, paper title\, and affiliation. Submissions should be sent as pdf files to Allauren at \;forbeas@mcmaster.ca. Receipt of submission will be confirmed by email\; notification of acceptance will go out by 6 April 2024.
\n \;We will be able to offer some financial support to these four speakers: we will cover their 3-night hotel stay and will be able to offer a small stipend toward their travel expenses. We will also be providing a mentoring luncheon which pairs early-career and established scholar speakers. As such\, drafts of the full paper to be included in the edited volume emerging from this conference will be due to the organizers for distribution to the mentors by 25 September 2024. We will also host a conference dinner for all speakers on 26 October 2024. \;
\nWhile our venues are accessible and we can accommodate dietary needs\, please contact Allauren at \;forbeas@mcmaster.ca \;with any specific questions on these matters.

Feminist\, Trans\, and Queer Perspectives’ UID:20240329T091146Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6f97df9687-7c6q9 TZID:Europe/Dublin LOCATION:Cork\, Ireland DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, many efforts have been placed to develop new educational paths to prepare medical\, nursing\, and midwifery students to deliver quality care to intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse people. However\, recent studies have shown that healthcare institutions and education programmes do not adequately prepare prospective healthcare professionals to support the needs of intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse people. Moreover\, most of the attempts to deliver gender affirmative education revolve around the development of modules focused on person-centered care. While these efforts are commendable and necessary\, studies have highlighted the need to endow students with a critical perspective that takes into account the systematic oppression to which intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse people are exposed.
\nThis conference aims to encourage the creation of an interdisciplinary network\, both within and beyond Ireland\, that can support healthcare professionals in engaging with the conceptual and critical aspects of gender diversity in healthcare settings. To accomplish this\, the conference aims to bridge the gap between research carried out in feminist\, trans\, and queer studies and the delivery of a practice-focused and person-centered perspective that characterizes healthcare education. The acquisition of a conceptual and critical understanding of the phenomena surrounding gender expansiveness is of crucial importance to enable healthcare professionals and scholars to deliver educational content\, adjust practices\, and promote research that can create a fairer and more sustainable healthcare environment. The conference will serve as an initial stride towards reevaluating the strategies employed by educators and preceptors in addressing the inclusion of intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse peoplewithin the healthcare system.

Nonetheless\, it retained a parochial and myopic focus on the United States of America and the United Kingdom\, with sporadic excursions to Australia and Canada. The second edition of The European Face of Political Epistemology conference\, after the first has become an edited book\, seeks to assemble novel and progressive European thinkers about political epistemology.
\nOur topics of interest comprise political communicational methods\, political knowledge and ignorance\, multi-partisan politics\, political expertise and the role of topical experts in the political domain\, politicised epistemic injustice\, and non-ideal epistemology. European political phenomena must be sternly analysed\, evaluated\, and affixed with a tentative feasible solution. Our conference strives to be a locus of such analysis.
\nThis year&rsquo\;s keynote speakers are:
\n&bull\; Miranda Fricker (NYU)
\n&bull\; Lisa Herzog (University of Groningen)
\n&bull\; Jennifer Lackey (Northwestern University)
\n&bull\; Michel Croce (University of Genoa)
\n\nThe conference is held at the Mediterranean island of Cres in Croatia\, at the Renaissance Moise Palace\, from July 8 to July 11\, 2024.
\nCall for Abstracts
\nPlease submit abstracts ranging up to 200 words to the specialised email address politicalepistemology@cas.uniri.hr. Abstracts significantly longer than 200 words will be disqualified. We accept submissions from professors of philosophy and related social and natural sciences and post-doctoral researchers. Please submit your abstracts by April 8\, 2024. We will assess your submissions and inform you about the final decision by May 1\, 2024. Breakfasts and lunches are held with the keynote speakers\, so you get to know them and exchange ideas about your work. You can send any pertinent queries\, including those regarding travel and accommodation\, to the mentioned email address.
\nFurther Information for Participants

\nCo-sponsored by the Department of Legal Studies &\; Business Ethics (LGST) and the Wharton Coalition for Equity and Opportunity (CEO)\, the workshop aims to foster in-progress scholarship and connect an interdisciplinary community of scholars working on legal and ethical issues related to equity and opportunity in business.
\nOver the past several decades\, there has been growing business interest in diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives\; ways to address persistent societal gaps in wealth\, access to financial services\, and healthcare\; and efforts to mitigate or remediate technology-induced discrimination and inequality. Yet the future of some of these efforts is uncertain. Recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings\, challenges to civil rights laws that currently structure private sector actions\, and political attacks on businesses engaged in such efforts have made scholarship in this field even more important. \;
\nThe workshop will focus on future directions for equity and opportunity against this backdrop. Each accepted paper will be assigned a discussant\, who will provide feedback and lead a discussion among the author and other workshop participants.

\nOften\, people&rsquo\;s words are harmful. Potential examples include: a classmate appealing to racist stereotypes in a class discussion\, a politician tweeting misogynistic rhetoric on family organization\, and an invited speaker promoting transphobic misinformation. When faced with harmful speech\, how should we respond? Is counterspeech efficacious\, or does it merely worsen the problem? When is protest permissible\, and against whom? Do companies have an obligation to &ldquo\;de-platform&rdquo\; or suspend the accounts of users spreading harmful speech? \;
\nWe are grateful to host keynotes by Mary Kate McGowan (Philosophy\, Wellesley College) and Brookes Brown (Philosophy\, Toronto).
\nWe are accepting abstracts from graduate students who have not yet received their degree at time of submission on these and related questions for our conference in Autumn 2024. OSU will offer modest travel stipends to accepted authors. \;

During this week we invite collaborators who are interested in exploring an-other reality that can be writing. Not limited to linguistic practises. \;
\nwith&ndash\; Power is often understood along the lines of &lsquo\;power over&rsquo\;. But there is also a power-with. Heidegger talked about being in terms of a &lsquo\;being-with&rsquo\;. We would like to extend these distinctions towards the realm of art\, and writing in particular. What does it mean to write-with. Is it possible? What are the prerequisites\, what are the possible outcomes? We particularly invite experiments and failure. \;
\nAn-other &ndash\; Although the understanding that the individual&rsquo\;s identity and being relies on the relationality with the an-other/not-I is more and more acceptable in Western philosophy and the arts\, it remains an ephemeral concept that is riddled with prejudices. How to create a space in which an-other is neither othered nor destroyed by colonisation of the I? And more prominently\, how to do that within language\, within a linearity of text? How to deal with archives that lack the other-as-other as they write within systems of exclusion? How to deal with a text that is not one&rsquo\;s own? How to deal with a text an-other-you has written yesterday? \;
\n\\(m)/Other &ndash\; And yet there is also the possibility of compassion\, the raised arms of the (m)Other that does not know yet that all turn to for knowledge. The burden of proof is always shifted to those who already understand\, whose knowledge is earned through generations and emotional work\, and how to convey this to the Other that is never going to go through all of that? How is writing also a practise to be with one&rsquo\;s self\, raising arms in desperation and in prayer\, \\(m)/\, accessing something that lies between Truth and Life. \;
\n
Invitation
This is an invitation for exploration around these themes. We especially encourage workshops / interactive formats. We have a whole week together\, to write with an-other\\(m)/Other. Also very welcome to participate without presenting / giving a workshop. First-time experiments are as welcome as tested concepts. \;
\nPlease send us a short text explaining your aim / topic / idea\, how much time you would need to host the experience\, and what materials you would need (paper/paint/bicycles). \;

\nPuncta. Journal of Critical Phenomenology
\nSpecial Issue: &ldquo\;Critical Phenomenology of the We&rdquo\;
\n-
\nTheme
\nPhenomenology offers not only incisive analyses of intentionality\, experience\, selfhood\, empathy and interpersonal understanding\, but also quite sophisticated investigations of collective intentionality\, affective sharing\, social participation\, communal experience\, and group-identity. Indeed\, while starting out with an interest in the individual mind\, phenomenologists began exploring dyadic forms of interpersonal relations shortly before the start of World War I\, and were deeply engaged in extensive analyses of communal forms of intentionality during the interwar period &ndash\; at a time when nationalism was on the rise. Today\, the "We" has not lost its place in philosophical\, political\, or popular discourse. Within the last decade\, phenomenologists have shown how phenomenology can contribute to the &ldquo\;discovery of the We&rdquo\; (Szanto &\; Moran 2016). These explorations have rediscovered lesser known early phenomenological writings on sociality by Gerda Walther\, Edith Stein\, Max Scheler or Aaron Gurwitsch and highlighted their relevance for contemporary problems in social cognition theory and analytic social ontology. Phenomenological approaches to sociality\, we-experiences\, and community\, however\, too-often concern themselves with ideal social ontological entities rather than the non-ideal social reality we find ourselves in.
\nA critical phenomenology of the We explores new lines of questioning at the intersection of phenomenology of sociality and critical phenomenology\, putting pressure on the allegedly neutral and unpolitical nature of the recent phenomenological discovery of the We. This special issue serves the purpose of demonstrating how critical perspectives both on and within phenomenological analyses can be enriching for philosophical discussions of the We and sociality more broadly. Taking critical phenomenology as the guiding methodology\, we foreground the constitutive significance that lived experiences of marginalisation\, exclusion\, social identity\, conflict\, ambiguity\, and asymmetry have on experiencing ourselves as part of a We. How does the recent critical turn in phenomenology support\, extend\, qualify\, or challenge phenomenological analyses of sociality? How can phenomenological descriptions of social phenomena point out pathways for social and political transformation and change? A critical phenomenology of the We investigates the question of &ldquo\;who are we?&rdquo\; as socially situated\, historically contextualised\, and culturally specific subjects.
\nWe encourage original submissions on the theme Critical Phenomenology of the We which critically engage with themes found within both classical and contemporary phenomenological discussions of the We. We particularly encourage submissions that speak to one (or more) of the following lines of inquiry:
\n(1) For one\, we are looking for contributions that take a clear starting point in lived experiences and real-life cases. Possible themes for such inquiries are\, but not limited to\, the ways in which group identity informs\, obscures\, and motivates acts of discrimination\, normalisation\, and oppression\; how feelings of belonging and community are manufactured for exploitative ends\, the role of collective memory and collective imagination for marginalised and historically oppressed groups\; how narratives are collectively constructed to both hide and bring to light past and present injustices and their complex temporality.
\n(2) We also welcome papers that critically engage with classical and contemporary debates on the 'we'. How might we challenge and contest the valuing of community over society we find in Husserl\, Walther\, and Stein? How has the paradigm of European culture shaped the debate and how might we look beyond it? Do phenomenological analyses of second person engagement overlook the constitutive significance of the third person?
\n(3) Finally\, we are interested in contributions that show the relevance of analyses from early 20th century phenomenology for contemporary debates within the philosophy of sociality. Besides the likes of Merleau-Ponty\, Fanon\, Beauvoir\, and Sartre\, how can the likes of Edith Stein\, Gerda Walther\, Max Scheler\, and Aron Gurwitsch enrich recent more political engagements with the phenomenological method? In what sense can the \; homeworld/alienworld distinction in Husserl&rsquo\;s generative phenomenology help us make sense of concrete intergroup dynamics?
\nWith these themes in mind\, a (non-exhaustive) list of possible topics to be examined under a phenomenological lens is:
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; The We of political movements\, protest\, and resistance
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Group\, collective and social identities
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Group antagonisms and modes of domination
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Inter- and intragroup relations of solidarity and care
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; The role of the 'Them' or the 'Third in the constitution of the 'We'
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Asymmetrical reciprocity\, empathy\, and language breakdowns
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Critiques of the relation between familiarity and strangeness
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Feelings of (non-)belonging
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Collective imagination and memory
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Shared narratives of political\, cultural\, and transgenerational communities
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; National and transnational identities in classical and contemporary phenomenology
\n·\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; Questioning the We of philosophy and academia

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.

\nConflict is something that is unpleasant\, irritating\, disruptive\, and even harmful. At the same time\, however\, its role in bringing about changes in both morality and law is undeniable. Given that moral and legal conflicts are an inherent part of human experience\, this conference aims to explore how we could strike a balance between the benefits and harms of conflicts. \;
\nOne way to understand this balancing act is with the notion of &ldquo\;resilience&rdquo\;. Being resilient toward conflicts means that we are able to harvest its benefits\, while avoiding its harms. In recent times\, however\, we are witnessing a striking erosion of resilience toward conflicts in the form of disintegration of the rule of law\, heightened levels of polarization\, and heightened antagonism among ideological opponents. All of this is especially alarming in the year coined as &ldquo\;the year of democracy&rdquo\;\, with over 80 elections taking place worldwide. \;
\nThus\, this conference endeavors to explore what\, if anything\, has led to the erosion of resilience and\, more importantly\, how we can regain it.
\n \;We welcome submissions by doctoral students from the fields of philosophy\, law\, political studies\, and sociology. We would like to especially encourage the members of under-represented groups to submit. Suitable topics include (but are not limited to):

Luce Irigaray&rsquo\;s work has influenced scholarship across multiple fields including Philosophy\, Gender Studies\, Queer Theory\, Trans Studies\, Literary and Culture Studies\, Indigenous Studies\, Classics\, Religious Studies\, Political Theory\, Linguistics\, Art\, Architecture\, Music\, Performance Studies\, and Legal Theory\, etc. The Circle cultivates a space for honoring and interrogating the question of sexual difference by supporting the multiple research trajectories\, methods\, and projects inspired by Irigaray&rsquo\;s thought.
\nLuce Irigaray has called for a new human being and a new way of thinking based on her philosophy of sexual difference. Central to this idea of being and thinking are touch and being touched as forms of interaction and inter-affections that are endless processes of becoming and transformations. This year´\;s conference draws its theme from touching and being touched by the world in all its manifestations. Reflections on the following topics are welcome:
\nPapers should be delivered in 20 minutes to leave 10 minutes each for discussion. Please note that the IC conference organizers are planning an edited volume based on the conference and request the right of first review on all accepted papers. If you would like to submit a proposal\, please send the following information at \;https://forms.gle/CJDHLwiWaCwuyx1d6 \;by January 10th\, 2024:
\nCreative Work:
\nIn addition to academic presentations\, the Circle invites proposals for creative work related to the work of Luce Irigaray. Past events have included theatrical and musical performances\, poetry readings\, art installations\, and more. Submissions should include an abstract describing the work\, materials that represent it (for example\, poetry excerpts or photos) and an explanation of the technical needs related to presenting the work.
\nWork-in-Progress Session(s):
\nIn addition to traditional academic presentations\, we welcome works and thinking in progress. If you would prefer to participate in a closed discussion section for works in progress\, indicate &ldquo\;Works in Progress&rdquo\; in the subject line of your submission. If you are admitted to the works in progress track\, we will ask you to send in an unfinished piece of writing (non-academic as well as academic texts are welcome) ahead of the conference (by 1st of May 2024)\, which will be shared with others who have signed up to join the WIP-session(s). During the conference small presentations and conversations around these works will be hosted in closed sessions.

Nonetheless\, it retained a parochial and myopic focus on the United States of America and the United Kingdom\, with sporadic excursions to Australia and Canada. The second edition of The European Face of Political Epistemology conference\, after the first has become an edited book\, seeks to assemble novel and progressive European thinkers about political epistemology.
\n\nOur topics of interest comprise political communicational methods\, political knowledge and ignorance\, multi-partisan politics\, political expertise and the role of topical experts in the political domain\, politicised epistemic injustice\, and non-ideal epistemology. European political phenomena must be sternly analysed\, evaluated\, and affixed with a tentative feasible solution. Our conference strives to be a locus of such analysis.
\n\nThis year&rsquo\;s keynote speakers are:
\n&bull\; Miranda Fricker (NYU)
\n&bull\; Lisa Herzog (University of Groningen)
\n&bull\; Jennifer Lackey (Northwestern University)
\n&bull\; Michel Croce (University of Genoa)
\n\nThe conference is held at the Mediterranean island of Cres in Croatia\, at the Renaissance Moise Palace\, from July 8 to July 11\, 2024.
\n\nCall for Abstracts
\nPlease submit abstracts ranging up to 200 words to the specialised email address politicalepistemology@cas.uniri.hr. Abstracts significantly longer than 200 words will be disqualified. We accept submissions from professors of philosophy and related social and natural sciences and post-doctoral researchers. Please submit your abstracts by April 8\, 2024. We will assess your submissions and inform you about the final decision by May 1\, 2024. Breakfasts and lunches are held with the keynote speakers\, so you get to know them and exchange ideas about your work. You can send any pertinent queries\, including those regarding travel and accommodation\, to the mentioned email address.
\n\nFurther Information for Participants
\nAlthough the conference does not cover accommodation\, transport\, and catering at the Riva restaurant\, there is no commission for participating in the event. We will send you detailed information about possible options and transport routes as soon as we accept your abstract.

During this week we invite collaborators who are interested in exploring an-other reality that can be writing. Not limited to linguistic practises. \;
\nwith&ndash\; Power is often understood along the lines of &lsquo\;power over&rsquo\;. But there is also a power-with. Heidegger talked about being in terms of a &lsquo\;being-with&rsquo\;. We would like to extend these distinctions towards the realm of art\, and writing in particular. What does it mean to write-with. Is it possible? What are the prerequisites\, what are the possible outcomes? We particularly invite experiments and failure. \;
\nAn-other &ndash\; Although the understanding that the individual&rsquo\;s identity and being relies on the relationality with the an-other/not-I is more and more acceptable in Western philosophy and the arts\, it remains an ephemeral concept that is riddled with prejudices. How to create a space in which an-other is neither othered nor destroyed by colonisation of the I? And more prominently\, how to do that within language\, within a linearity of text? How to deal with archives that lack the other-as-other as they write within systems of exclusion? How to deal with a text that is not one&rsquo\;s own? How to deal with a text an-other-you has written yesterday? \;
\n\\(m)/Other &ndash\; And yet there is also the possibility of compassion\, the raised arms of the (m)Other that does not know yet that all turn to for knowledge. The burden of proof is always shifted to those who already understand\, whose knowledge is earned through generations and emotional work\, and how to convey this to the Other that is never going to go through all of that? How is writing also a practise to be with one&rsquo\;s self\, raising arms in desperation and in prayer\, \\(m)/\, accessing something that lies between Truth and Life. \;
\nInvitation
\nThis is an invitation for exploration around these themes. We especially encourage workshops / interactive formats. We have a whole week together\, to write with an-other\\(m)/Other. Also very welcome to participate without presenting / giving a workshop. First-time experiments are as welcome as tested concepts. \;
\n\nPlease send us a short text explaining your aim / topic / idea\, how much time you would need to host the experience\, and what materials you would need (paper/paint/bicycles). \;

\nThis special issue of \;Hypatia \;focuses on philosophical\, social\, and political analyses\, and draws ethical boundaries using a feminist framework that should be in place when we engage in self-care practices. Self-care is a healthy\, restorative\, self-respecting\, and affirming practice. It is primarily an intentional act of grounding\, establishing safety\, and building protective boundaries to grow and live a full human life. As Audre Lorde says\, for those facing overlapping forms of oppression\, these are acts of political warfare. It is important to examine the sort of cognitive states and epistemic framing toward self-care requires to more fully actualize the political radical nature that Lorde has in mind. Many depictions and hashtags portray self-care as an individualist act\, one that often requires the acquisition of material goods and indulgent services. This requires not only time but money. Acts of self-care are prompted as luxuries. But self-care possibilities are both ambivalent and political. It is in those ambivalent possibilities that we ought to balance care of self\, with the genuine care of others. Self-care is communal. It is radical. It is self-love. It is social care. The issue examines the sorts of ethical\, political\, and epistemic questions that arise when we practice self-care as a mode of feminist knowledge production and distribution and give examples of productive self-care practices that provide means of disruption\, intervention\, and resistance.
\nThis issue is dedicated to feminist philosophical perspectives of self-care in an unjust world. With the recent protests and uprisings in response to the ongoing state-sanctioned murders of Ahmaud Arbery\, Breonna Taylor\, George Floyd\, and countless named and unnamed others\, BIPOC had to contend with the precarious nature of their existence. Even prior to this social reckoning\, and since mandatory self-quarantine and social distancing measures were implemented\, the question of &ldquo\;how are you coping&rdquo\; has been on the front of everyone&rsquo\;s minds. We faced equal and opposite pressures to produce and be still at the same time. Social media calls to disengage were met against workplace expectations of mass productivity. \; Even before the pandemic restructured the notion of &ldquo\;sociality\,&rdquo\; racial stress\, and the burden of being in our oppressive workplaces\, trying to balance these as BIPOC\, disabled\, LGBTQIA+ members of academia has been a tumultuous lifelong task. \;
\nAlongside self-care\, we offer the concepts of &ldquo\;transformative justice&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;communal healing&rdquo\; as generative areas for reflection for feminist ethics\, social theory\, and healing practitioners.
\n&ldquo\;Self-care&rdquo\; is a healthy\, restorative\, self-respecting\, and affirming practice. It is primarily an intentional act of grounding\, establishing safety\, and building protective boundaries to grow and live a full human life. &ldquo\;Transformative justice&rdquo\; is a political framework and approach for responding to violence\, harm\, and abuse. At its most basic\, it seeks to respond to violence without creating more violence and/or engaging in harm reduction to lessen the violence. TJ can be thought of as a way of &ldquo\;making things right\,&rdquo\; getting into the &ldquo\;right relation\,&rdquo\; or creating justice together. &ldquo\;Communal healing&rdquo\; is a group effort. How we navigate and negotiate our relations with others seems to evoke questions about healing in more than one sense of the term. As beings who live interdependently and who err\, we are sometimes generous with others despite their failings\, and at other times we ourselves may be received with a generosity that is not deserved. How ought we to think about this sort of communal healing when relations are already fraught due to axes of dominance and oppression?
\nWe invite papers that engage self-care thinking on these and other issues including:
\n§\; \; Overlaps and interactions between ethics\, politics\, and epistemology
\n§\; \; The materiality of caring for oneself \;
\n§\; \; Ongoing disagreements in feminist philosophy concerning &ldquo\;care&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;caring for others&rdquo\; including:

\n§\; \; The politics of rage\, anger\, and stress
\n§\; \; Survivor vs Healing discourse
\n§\; \; Where &ldquo\;early&rdquo\; feminist ethics (i.e.\, care ethics) has led us and where we should go from here?
\n§\; \; Relations (ethical/political/epistemic) among differently non-dominantly situated persons
\n§\; \; Epistemic hurdles\, but also epistemic gateways\, for thinking self-care beyond the academy (as practitioners) and beyond praxis\, as on particular problems\, for example:

\nIn 1950\, German philosopher Martin Heidegger published the book Off the Beaten Track. This book included a chapter entitled &lsquo\;The Origin of the Work of Art&rsquo\;\, a compendium of aesthetical reflections created by the author during the 30s. On those pages\, there is a discussed artistic motif: the painting A Pair of Shoes\, created by Vincent van Gogh in 1886 and nowadays guarded at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam. Following Heidegger\, those shoes are the boots of a female peasant\, whose only aesthetical credit was their labor value\, that is\, their estimation as workforce transformed into a second-hand object through its pictorial representation. From that moment on\, a Byzantine dispute on the identity of the owner of the painted boots and the meaning of the still life\, if a pair of shoes could be defined as such\, took place. The most eminent aesthetes of the occidental canon &mdash\;from Schapiro to Derrida&mdash\; participated in that debate\, which was exhibited in 2009 at the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne.
\nForty-nine years after the publication of Heidegger&rsquo\;s Off the Beaten Track\, in 1999\, Griselda Pollock published Differencing the Canon: Feminism and the Writings of Art&rsquo\;s Histories\, an essay which did not directly refer to Vincent van Gogh&rsquo\;s A pair of Shoes\, but in fact included another painting from the same author: Peasant Woman\, Stooping\, Seen from Behind. In this second debate\, the dialectic vocabulary was not any longer about workforce (Arbeitskraft)\, value in use (Gebrauchswert) or exchange value (Tauschwert). It was about cultural Marxist terms and their reception and iconological interaction following the Critical Frankfurt School &mdash\;relation among the sex\, gender\, and class systems in order to explain the symbolic connection between animality and body language chosen by Vincent van Gogh to represent the female worker&mdash\;.
\nIf we attend to this tradition in the European Humanities debate\, previous to 2030 Agenda\, we remark that the rural context appears as an unavoidable space of intersectional discussion in contemporary Aesthetics\, where multiple categories of analyses and work-methodologies take place: iconology\, cultural studies\, philosophical aesthetics\, critical studies\, design theory\, mode theory\, ethnography\, anthropology\, sociology\, political theory. Despite this conceptual spaciousness\, a reiterative unconscious topic appears in the yet different considerations made by Heidegger and Pollock: the idea that rural world only gains its aesthetical value if its roughness and precariousness are ennobled by its artistic representation and the pertinent cultural critic made by high academic instances. Is that perspective a prejudice or rather a confirmed reality? What does rural feminine beauty mean? Does such an aesthetical category even exist? Can we reduce the aesthetical value of rural context to the production of basic goods and needs?
\nFrom these opening questions\, the organizing crew of this festival publishes this call for participation. We are looking for proposals in multiple formats that join mode\, design of ornaments and philosophical reflections on the topic of this festival: women and mode in the rural world.

\nIn the accelerated anthropological transformation at the beginning of this third millennium\, women are at once an emerging force\, on the same level with its upheavals in values and identities\, AND an irreducible otherness&mdash\;object of desire\, fear\, and envy\, of oppression and exploitation\, of abuse and exclusion. Julia Kristeva&rsquo\;s masterclass will focus on the transformative potential of what she conceptualizes as the feminine: not femininity\, not femaleness or womanhood but a specific aspect of the human psyche which might be the proper engine of our capacity to change. \;
\nLecture 1. Feminine Oedipus or\, about female sexuality. (Kristeva)
\nLecture 2. The Female Genius (Arend\, Klein\, Colette) (Kristeva)
\nIn the second part of the course Miglena Nikolchina will approach works of science fiction (the TV series Battlestar &ldquo\;Galactica\,&rdquo\; Blade Runner and BladeRunner 2049\, Alien- from the first one to Prometheus and Alien: Covenant) in order to foreground the role that maternity and (pro)creation play in attempts to define the human vis-à\;-vis the machine. Kristeva&rsquo\;s concept of the feminine will be examined in the framework of what Freud termed &ldquo\;psychic revolution of matter&rdquo\;: the revolution which is arguably at the center of Kristeva&rsquo\;s thought from her earliest writing to her latest. \; \;
\nLecture 1. Being Born or Being Made? Kristeva&rsquo\;s Concept of the Maternal Chora and the Semiotic. (Nikolchina)
\nLecture 2. Making Soul by Making Flesh: Kristeva&rsquo\;s Concepts of Signifiance and Transubstantiation. (Nikolchina)
\nThe third part offered by Katarina Kolozova focuses on Marx&rsquo\;s notion of &ldquo\;fetish&rdquo\; as commodity or\, if the term fetish is problematic in any way\, then\, quite simply on the problem of commodity as reification of abstraction. There is an unnegotiable categorical distinction between the abstract and the material or physical. The distinction is\, let us reiterate\, categorical not ontological. There is a distinction between the two and they should not be conflated or rendered mutually interchangeable. We will look at the dialectics of femininity as commodified and fetishised value (Irigaray)\, its comparability with Marx&rsquo\;s formulae of M-C-M and how philosophy operates as a signifying automation or pleasure principle (Lacan\, Laruelle\, and the foreclosure of the real). \; We will also try to tie this discussion with Kristeva&rsquo\;s thesis of the Feminine Oedipus.
\nLecture 3. Comparability of the Machines of Patriarchy\, Capital and Philosophy: The Fate of the Remnants of Flesh and femininity (Kolozova)
\nPracticalities: NB: Hybrid participation is an exception\, not the rule We made sure that we follow the ancient Greek principle of philosophical study\, including also arts and sciences\, being scholē (leisure time\, pleasure and play). The institute is placed in what was once Stagira after all\, the birthplace of Aristotle. The program is structured in such a way that it allows for enjoying the sun and the beach of the Aegean Sea as well as socialising with the rest of the group\, visiting local tavernas\, taking trips to nearby archaeological sites and visits to Thessaloniki and other interesting nearby location. Olympiada is the contemporary name of ancient Stagira\, the birthplace of Aristotle\, located in the northern part of the region of Macedonia of Greece. The climate is mild\, the area is surrounded by continental rather than Mediterranean flora and fauna. It is surrounded by green mountainous area. Mount Athos is only 70-80 miles away. Hybrid format module: For those who cannot make it to the Campus\, we have reserved the option for online participation\; please\, bear in mind that its possibilities are limited compared to the in-person participation (interaction with faculty and community\, informal program\, presentations\, etc.). The fee for the online variant is also 300 euro. For the Global South there is automatic discount of 30%. Fees and what they cover. - 700 euro for 7 days\, therefore 100 euro a day for: accommodation\, use of the space for setting up participants&rsquo\; own program (art\, lectures\, film screenings etc)\, self-arranged meals at the Summer institute and a few organized by SMR\, participation in the fee for the extracurricular program (most of it is covered by SMR)\, free of charge access to the best part of the beach\, discounts for shuttles\, use of utilities such as laundry machines and mini kitchen. It covers maintenance too. - 300-euro fee for the program which covers teachers&rsquo\; fees and travel\, as well as the administrative aspects of issuing an ECTS participation fee. - Important: The amount can be paid in instalments\; you just need to choose the option in the application form. How to Apply: Interested applicants can find the full application form here\, as well as at the very bottom of this page. All application forms must be filled out in full and sent in by December 10th\, 2023\, in order to be considered valid. If you have any inquiries please send them to all of the following email address: schoolofmaterialistresearch@gmail.com Regarding accommodation and food: SMR&rsquo\;s summer institute can offer accommodation for 15-17 students\, and its cost is included in the participation fee. It also offers fridges and stove in the shared kitchen/coffee station area you can prepare your own food (however cooking elaborate meals is not allowed\, more snacks\, salads\, etc.). Laundry area is provided as well.

Feminist\, Trans\, and Queer Perspectives’ UID:20240329T091210Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-6f97df9687-7c6q9 TZID:Europe/Dublin LOCATION:Cork\, Ireland DESCRIPTION:In recent years\, many efforts have been placed to develop new educational paths to prepare medical\, nursing\, and midwifery students to deliver quality care to intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse people. However\, recent studies have shown that healthcare institutions and education programmes do not adequately prepare prospective healthcare professionals to support the needs of intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse people. Moreover\, most of the attempts to deliver gender affirmative education revolve around the development of modules focused on person-centered care. While these efforts are commendable and necessary\, studies have highlighted the need to endow students with a critical perspective that takes into account the systematic oppression to which intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse people are exposed.
\nThis conference aims to encourage the creation of an interdisciplinary network\, both within and beyond Ireland\, that can support healthcare professionals in engaging with the conceptual and critical aspects of gender diversity in healthcare settings. To accomplish this\, the conference aims to bridge the gap between research carried out in feminist\, trans\, and queer studies and the delivery of a practice-focused and person-centered perspective that characterizes healthcare education. The acquisition of a conceptual and critical understanding of the phenomena surrounding gender expansiveness is of crucial importance to enable healthcare professionals and scholars to deliver educational content\, adjust practices\, and promote research that can create a fairer and more sustainable healthcare environment. The conference will serve as an initial stride towards reevaluating the strategies employed by educators and preceptors in addressing the inclusion of intersex\, trans- and gender-diverse peoplewithin the healthcare system.

\nConflict is something that is unpleasant\, irritating\, disruptive\, and even harmful. At the same time\, however\, its role in bringing about changes in both morality and law is undeniable. Given that moral and legal conflicts are an inherent part of human experience\, this conference aims to explore how we could strike a balance between the benefits and harms of conflicts. \;
\nOne way to understand this balancing act is with the notion of &ldquo\;resilience&rdquo\;. Being resilient toward conflicts means that we are able to harvest its benefits\, while avoiding its harms. In recent times\, however\, we are witnessing a striking erosion of resilience toward conflicts in the form of disintegration of the rule of law\, heightened levels of polarization\, and heightened antagonism among ideological opponents. All of this is especially alarming in the year coined as &ldquo\;the year of democracy&rdquo\;\, with over 80 elections taking place worldwide. \;
\nThus\, this conference endeavors to explore what\, if anything\, has led to the erosion of resilience and\, more importantly\, how we can regain it.

Epistemic Injustice has been explored over the past 15 years\, in the two distinctive forms labeled by Miranda Fricker (2007) as testimonial injustice and hermeneutical injustice\, as well as in specific contexts such as in politics\, health\, education\, law\, etc. Scholars have described the specific harms caused by its systemic and structural manifestations in our contemporary societies and the potential strategies to resist the discrimination and oppression caused or reinforced by epistemic injustice. So much so that the epistemology of resistance (Medina 2012) is emerging as a fascinating new line of research.
\nWith this conference\, we are particularly interested in exploring the workings of epistemic injustice and the corresponding resistance strategies in public arguments from different contexts\, considering power dynamics in relation to institutions\, communication systems\, and groups and individuals. We aim to explore how public arguments may be strategically constructed to foster or consolidate different forms of epistemic injustice or\, on the contrary\, to curb and resist this phenomenon.
\nWe invite submissions exploring epistemic injustice and resistance in public arguments from any discipline (such as philosophy\, argumentation\, epistemology\, communication\, education\, social sciences\, etc.)\, taking into account various conceptual and discourse analysis methods (including argumentative analysis\, linguistic analysis\, cognitive analysis) and different contexts (politics\, health\, education\, the law\, etc.).

\nExemplaritä\;t und Einbildungskraft
\nKatharina Naumann (Magdeburg) und Larissa Wallner (Mü\;nchen/Berlin)
\nIm Handeln und Urteilen spielen Beispiele eine nicht unerhebliche Rolle. Dabei haben wir es stets mit einer Vermittlung zwischen Besonderem und Allgemeinen zu tun. Gleichwohl lassen sich zwei gegenlä\;ufige Funktionen ausmachen: Wä\;hrend das Beispiel einerseits eine rein illustrative Funktion haben kann\, die der Veranschaulichung eines Allgemeinen dient\, kann es andererseits auch eine exemplarische Funktion haben\, insofern es ein Allgemeines zum Ausdruck bringt\, das sich (noch) nicht in einer Regel fassen lä\;sst. Am Exempel besteht \;in jü\;ngerer Zeit gerade auch innerhalb der Moralphilosophie und der politischen Philosophie ein wachsendes Interesse \;(siehe etwa Archer/Metheson 2021\, Beran 2021\, Boehm 2022\, Cherry 2017\, Croce 2020\, Ferrara 2008\, Naumann 2020\, \;Vaccarezza \;2020 und Zagzebski 2017). Diese Entwicklung \;wollen wir aufgreifen und dabei auf die Beziehung zwischen derjenigen Person\, an der jemand sich ein Beispiel nimmt\, und derjenigen Person\, die als Exempel gilt\, fokussieren. \;
\nUm sich ein Beispiel nehmen zu kö\;nnen\, sind bestimmte Fä\;higkeiten erforderlich: Urteilskraft\, um etwas &ndash\; einen Charakter\, ein Verhalten\, ein Muster &ndash\; als exemplarisch zu erkennen wie auch die Fä\;higkeit zur Abstraktion und Analogiebildung im Sinne der Ü\;bertragung eines Sachverhalts oder Verhaltens auf einen anderen Kontext. Vor allem aber benö\;tigt man\, um sich ein Beispiel zu nehmen\, Einbildungskraft. Denn diese befä\;higt uns\, im Sinne der Standpunktü\;bernahme an der Stelle eines anderen zu denken (KU 05: 294 f.) und uns etwas Kontrafaktisches vorzustellen. Doch was sich jemand angesichts seiner sozialen Situiertheit vorstellen kann\, prä\;gt\, wer ihm als Beispiel dienen kann und andersherum\, entscheiden politische und soziale Kontexte darü\;ber\, wer als Beispiel gelten kann. Dieser Zusammenhang zwischen Einbildungskraft und Exemplaritä\;t wurde in der philosophischen Debatte um Exemplaritä\;t jedoch wenig thematisiert. Nimmt man diesen Befund ernst\, so stellt sich die Frage\, was daraus fü\;r Handeln und Urteilen folgt. Der Themenkomplex berü\;hrt somit Debatten um Hegemonie und Marginalisierung und die Frage danach\, ob diese Strukturen durch den Verweis auf Exempel verschleiert und perpetuiert werden oder ob sie das Potenzial bieten\, diese aufzubrechen. \;
\nVor diesem Hintergrund freuen wir uns ü\;ber Einreichungen u.a. zu folgenden Fragenkomplexen:
\nAnonymisierte Abstracts (max. 500 Wö\;rter) fü\;r einen Vortrag von 20 Minuten werden bis \;1. April 2024 \;erbeten an: \;katharina.naumann@ovgu.de \;. Ü\;ber Zu- und Absagen werden wir zeitnah informieren.

\nTopical Collection Description:
\nTThe origins of the contemporary ethics of belief debate can be traced back to the classic opposition between ideas of the British mathematician and philosopher William Clifford and the American philosopher and psychologist William James. In his essay "The Ethics of Belief\," Clifford argued that it is always wrong to believe something without sufficient evidence\, while James countered in "The Will to Believe" that in certain cases\, it can be justified to believe something based on personal or pragmatic reasons. This debate sparked a broader conversation about the moral dimensions of belief formation and evaluation\, which has continued to the present day. Beliefs play a crucial role in our understanding of the world and our place within it. They guide our actions\, influence our decisions\, and shape our judgments. However\, beliefs are not always true\, accurate\, as they are based on flawed reasoning or misinformation. Such beliefs may yield negative consequences for believers\, for example in terms of action they ground or in terms of violating dianoethical or intellectual virtues. The ethics of belief is concerned with questions about what we ought to believe and why\, and how our beliefs impact our actions and judgments. This special issue seeks to explore ethics of belief in various domains\, including but not limited to science\, social world\, and philosophy.
\nFor instance\, in science\, beliefs can have significant social and ethical implications. For example\, the ideal of value-free science is often challenged by the moral\, social and political context in which scientific research takes place\, as well as by the role of values in shaping scientific inquiry. The concept of inductive risk highlights the potential ethical implications of scientific uncertainty and the need to balance the risk of error against the potential benefits of scientific knowledge. In addition\, the ethics of belief in science raises questions about scientific integrity\, fraud\, and the role of scientific communication in shaping public opinion and policy.
\nIn the social world\, beliefs are often shaped by social norms\, cultural values\, and political ideologies. The ethics of belief in the social world raises questions about the responsibility of individuals and groups for their beliefs\, and the role of social power and privilege in shaping belief formation and evaluation. The rise of social media and the proliferation of echo chambers and filter bubbles have also posed new challenges to the ethics of belief in the social world.
\nIn philosophy\, beliefs are central to the discipline itself. Philosophers engage in critical inquiry\, argumentation\, and debate to develop and defend their beliefs about the nature of reality\, knowledge\, and ethics. However\, the ethics of belief in philosophy raises questions about the responsibility of philosophers for their beliefs and the role of philosophical disagreement in shaping philosophical inquiry. Additionally\, the ethics of belief in philosophy raises questions about the relationship between philosophical beliefs and social and political norms\, and the responsibility of philosophers to engage in public discourse
\nBecause beliefs are the central object of our interest\, further elaboration is needed on what constitutes a belief and its nature. Any ethical project requires a solid and clear account of what constitutes an object of ethical valuation. Therefore\, we welcome all the inquiries that analyse and compare explicit and implicit assumptions about beliefs in contemporary accounts of ethics of belief. What is more\, ethics of belief is distinct from ordinary ethics due to its focus on beliefs\, which cannot be\, at least intuitively\, associated with action. However\, there are pragmatist theories (such as pragmatic encroachment) that appear to assume such a relation\, which may require further clarification. Additionally\, there are instances of belief-like attitudes shared by members of certain groups that may lack some typical features of beliefs\, such as the attitude of primordial recognition of certain social or institutional facts. If shared within a group\, such attitudes may develop into a mutual belief and contribute to establishing an institution. The ethical evaluation of such attitudes\, if feasible\, could also be an object of inquiry in this collection.
\nOne reason why a construal of the ethics of belief may be a context-dependent matter is due to a widespread acceptance of the difference between natural and artefactual kinds. While the existence and perception of the latter is essentially belief dependent\, the former are taken to exist independently of there being minds thinking about them. Of course\, there are manifold accounts of how to draw precisely the distinction between natural facts (kinds) and artefacts\, including institutional kinds. We would welcome all contributions trying to connect the philosophical grounds for such distinctions with conceptual and practical consequences to ethics of beliefs. Especially welcome are contributions relating inquiries from social ontology\, epistemology of social groups and institutions\, and ethics of beliefs.
\nOverall\, this special issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and exploration of the ethical dimensions of belief in various domains. We welcome submissions that engage with diverse philosophical and theoretical perspectives\, draw on empirical research and interdisciplinary approaches\, and address the pressing ethical questions surrounding belief formation and evaluation.
\nWe welcome original research articles addressing the following topics:
\n- Methodological and/or metaphilosophical comparison of various accounts of ethics of belief\, seen especially from the contemporary perspectives on evidentialism vs. pragmatism debate or epistemic purism vs. impurism debate.
\n- Relations between ethics of belief and other philosophical disciplines\, such as epistemology\, social ontology\, legal philosophy\, moral psychology etc.
\n- Reasons for believing without or against evidence.
\n- Relations between moral and epistemic normativity\, moral encroachment\, and doxastic wronging.
\nMoral considerations in scientific belief formation\, such as the value-free science ideal and the inductive risk.
\n- Ethics of philosophical beliefs and their dissemination\, including the question whether philosophers can state\, discuss or publish philosophical claims they do not believe.
\n- Individual and collective responsibility for holding beliefs (of certain kinds)\, and moral and epistemic luck in various contexts.
\n- Contemporary challenges to ethics of belief such as social media\, echo chambers\, AI\, and chatbots.
\n- Ethics of conspiracy beliefs and the role of evidence and argumentation in evaluating such beliefs.
\n- Ethics of moral beliefs\, including whether it is ethical to hold particular moral beliefs.
\n- Ethics of belief for collective agents\, groups\, and institutions\, and the role of mutual collective responsibility in belief formation and evaluation.
\n- Legal/institutional aspects of ethics of belief\, such as the ethics of belief for legislators and policymakers\, and the role of legal evidence in belief formation and evaluation.
\n- Empirical\, experimental\, psychological or cognitive studies on ethics of belief\, and the role of empirical evidence in informing normative theories of belief.
\n- Epistemic virtues and vices\, and their role in shaping our beliefs and attitudes.
\n- Epistemic injustice and the role of power\, privilege\, and oppression in shaping our beliefs and attitudes.

\nThe Department of Philosophy and Political Science at TU Dortmund University is delighted to announce the 1st Dortmund 'Philosophy and Society' Conference\, taking place on October 1st\, 2024\, in Dortmund\, Germany. This inaugural event will feature Jason Stanley\, co-author of "The Politics of Language" (Princeton University Press\, 2023)\, as a distinguished guest.
\nConference Theme
\nThis year's conference centers on David Beaver and Jason Stanley&rsquo\;s "The Politics of Language." The book offers a novel account of how speech impacts audiences. On Beaver and Stanley&rsquo\;s account\, linguistic actions exemplify social practices and have so-called resonances (emotions\, social identities\, etc.)\, which carry ideological significance. Their analysis focuses specifically on more covert ways in which speech can inflict harm on groups.
\nCall for Contributions
\nWe invite presentations on any aspect of Beaver and Stanley's book\, with potential topics including\, but not limited to:

\nRegistration and Additional Information
\nAccommodation and travel expenses for speakers will be borne by the organizers. For registration details\, conference program\, and additional information\, please visit our website or contact the organizing committee at peter.koenigs@tu-dortmund.de.

\nSubmission deadline: 30 March 2024
\nNotification of acceptance: 6 April 2024
\nThis workshop highlights \;the subject of women and epistemic emotions &ndash\; emotions which either aid us in knowing or are themselves instances of knowledge &ndash\; in the early modern period. Paradigm examples of epistemic emotions include doubt and curiosity\, though other emotions such as love or fear may also play important epistemic roles. \;Thus\, an epistemic emotion is one that plays a causal role in driving our efforts to know something\, or in the critical reflection and revision of what it is that we know.
\nThough the ongoing recovery and reintegration project is robustly underway\, early modern women and epistemic emotions have been largely overlooked. This workshop is an effort to create and disseminate new knowledge and interpretive tools. As such\, we intend to publish revised versions of the papers presented at this workshop in an edited volume. \;
\nThe workshop features two keynote speakers &ndash\; Martina Reuter (Jyvä\;skylä\;) and Lisa Shapiro (McGill) &ndash\; and invited papers from Marcy Lascano (KU)\, Anik Waldow (Sydney)\, Getty Lustila (Northeastern)\, Aminah Hasan-Birdwell (Emory)\, Allauren Samantha Forbes (McMaster)\, Elena Gordon (McGill-Jyvä\;skylä\;)\, and Manuel Vasquez Villavicencio (McMaster). \;
\nWe have held four speaking slots open and so are inviting submissions of anonymized abstracts \;between 500-750 words. \;We are especially interested in receiving abstracts from \;early-career or emerging scholars \;(e.g.\, advanced PhD students\, CLAs/Adjuncts\, Assistant Professors) and \;contributions which highlight women philosophers&rsquo\; &ldquo\;non-traditional&rdquo\; philosophical texts \;&ndash\; e.g.\, letters\, plays\, and novels. Please also include a coversheet with name\, position\, paper title\, and affiliation. Submissions should be sent as pdf files to Allauren at \;forbeas@mcmaster.ca. Receipt of submission will be confirmed by email\; notification of acceptance will go out by 6 April 2024.
\n \;We will be able to offer some financial support to these four speakers: we will cover their 3-night hotel stay and will be able to offer a small stipend toward their travel expenses. We will also be providing a mentoring luncheon which pairs early-career and established scholar speakers. As such\, drafts of the full paper to be included in the edited volume emerging from this conference will be due to the organizers for distribution to the mentors by 25 September 2024. We will also host a conference dinner for all speakers on 26 October 2024. \;
\nWhile our venues are accessible and we can accommodate dietary needs\, please contact Allauren at \;forbeas@mcmaster.ca \;with any specific questions on these matters.

\nMany human cognitive capacities and processes may be deployed creatively\, from unique choices made for oneself up through novel cultural shifts. Similarly\, large swaths of our daily lives are taken up with performing spontaneous\, on-the-fly\, and unplanned activities that are\, in a word\, improvised. \; Charting out the nature of both creativity and improvisation\, taken individually or together\, remains an open and pressing issue. In this conference\, we will delve into various philosophical\, theoretical\, empirical\, and interdisciplinary issues that are related to creativity and improvisation. A non-exhaustive list of related questions and themes for this topic include:
\n- What is the relationship between improvisation and creativity?
\n- What is the relationship between creative activity and well-being?
\n- What is the best way to model individual and collective creativity?
\n- Is creativity in the arts the same thing as in other domains\, such as in science or business?
\n- What are the pros and cons of different scientific operationalizations of creativity and improvisation?
\n- Provide a conceptual analysis of creativity and/or improvisation.
