Philosophy at the Margins

The Uehiro Graduate Philosophy Conference showcases exceptional work by graduate and advanced undergraduate students in all fields of philosophy. This year’s conference will focus upon “philosophy at the margins,” providing a forum for philosophical voices and perspectives that have been traditionally marginalized in the American academic setting. This includes a broad range of topics, from feminist philosophies, philosophies of race, philosophy of disability, to non-Western and comparative philosophies, and interdisciplinary philosophies that challenge the strict divide between disciplines. Some other topics of interest include critical philosophy, metaphilosophy, and practical ethics in marginalized communities. There are many other worthwhile topics, and we welcome any papers that address the general theme.
