Call for Submissions: Indigenous and Non-Western Philosophy of Science (MAP Group Session at the PSA)

The Philosophy of Science Association (PSA) will hold a meeting in Pittsburgh from November 10-13, 2022, and MAP International will be running a Group Session on Indigenous and Non-Western Philosophy of Science. We are inviting submissions for brief, 5-10 minute presentations on this topic.

Possible topics for presentation include but are not limited to:

• Indigenous and Non-Western land ethics
• Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK)
• Philosophy of Science Fiction with Non-Western narrative
• Environmental Justice
• Right attribution to Environmental Entities
• Analysis of anthropocentric / non-anthropocentric binary

Abstracts should be no more than 800 words and in a PDF format. Submissions can be made using this Google form. The application is not intended to be selective -- we plan on accepting as many speakers as our session time allows.

Please note that, per PSA policy, no one is permitted to present more than once at PSA2022 (excluding presentations at the poster forum). 

We particularly encourage submissions by members of underrepresented groups in philosophy, graduate students, and junior scholars. 

For members of underrepresented groups in philosophy, the Underrepresented Philosophy of Science Scholars (UPSS) Initiative provides a travel grant to defray travel costs to attend the meeting. 

Please send any questions and comments to [email protected]. We look forward to reading your submissions.
