We are now accepting abstracts for the Princeton Workshop in Social Philosophy (PWISP) to be held February 17-18, 2018 in Princeton, New Jersey. The workshop is intended for early career scholars including graduate students, non-tenured faculty, and postdoctoral researchers. Our keynote speaker will be Serene J. Khader.
We are seeking high-quality submissions on topics in social philosophy. For this workshop we construe social philosophy very broadly as including, but by no means limited to: philosophy of race, gender, sex, sexual orientation, or disability, applied political philosophy, social / feminist epistemology, social choice theory, group agency, collective responsibility, social construction, speech acts, ideology, philosophy of social science, and altruism. We also encourage submissions that engage with philosophers, philosophies, and methods typically mis- or underrepresented in Anglo-American philosophy departments.

In addition to 30-40 min. presentations and 50-60 min. discussions, the workshop will include several smaller, casual teach-ins on topics, issues, and people important to research in social philosophy, but typically left out of the philosophy curriculum. The goal is to bring each other up to speed on something we should, but likely don’t, know. We gladly welcome proposals for teach-ins. These can be included in the body of your emailed submission.

Abstracts of not more than 1000 words should be prepared for anonymous review and submitted by September 15 to pwispcontact@gmail.com. Successful applicants will be contacted in mid October.

We are pleased to offer financial support for travel and accommodation to scheduled speakers. 

This workshop is supported by Princeton University Department of Philosophy, Princeton University Center for Human Values, and Princeton Minorities and Philosophy (princetonmap.weebly.com/pwisp).

Philosophical Perspectives on Disability: A Postgraduate Conference
Tuesday 9th May 2017, University of Leeds
The University of Leeds Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) chapter is delighted to invite you to its second conference, Philosophical Perspectives on Disability: A Postgraduate Conference, which will take place on Tuesday, May 9th, 2017. 

The philosophical interest on the topic of disability is fairly new and, given this, a lot of issues have yet to be explored. The aim of this conference is to bring together students and scholars who work in this area and who engage with questions such as: disabled or differently-abled? What is a disability? How should we think about disabilities? What is the relationship between a disability and the context in which it occurs? What are the metaphysically relevant aspects of disability? How should disability be seen from a political point of view? Is there an ethics of disability? What is the place of a phenomenology of disability? What ought to be changed in the way we see and consider disability? etc. 

The event will include 5 postgraduate speakers (schedule and speakers TBC) and a keynote talk given by Professor Jackie Leach Scully (Newcastle University) on disability, ethics, and epistemology.

The event is free and open to all. If you wish to attend the conference, please register using the registration form on our website: http://ppod2017.weebly.com/registration.html  Registration will be open until May 2nd, 2017, 16:00 GMT.

The conference will be run in accordance with the BPA/SWIP-UK Good Practice Scheme. We are dedicated to making this event accessible and inclusive. Please find the accessibility information on our website: http://ppod2017.weebly.com/practical-info.html. More information about the programme and funding will become available soon. 

For further queries, please do not hesitate to contact the MAP@Leeds Team (PRHSmaps@leeds.ac.uk).
