Concerned Philosophers for Peace
30th Annual Conference
Sheraton Raleigh Hotel
Raleigh, NC
November 16th-18th, 2017
Conference Theme:
Civility, Nonviolent Resistance, & the New Struggle for Social Justice
Recent political events have ushered in a rise of nationalism not seen since the last century. Divisive rhetoric and populist agendas continue to proliferate around the globe. Moreover, misguided policies spanning criminal justice reform and the environment perpetuate systemic injustice. Exposing the normative discourse is important in understanding the context of these policies. This year’s CPP conference invites abstract submissions on the following topics (relevant topics to the mission of the CPP are welcome):
– Nationalism
o Pluralism and identity
o Health care
o Gun violence
o Military-Industrial complex
o Protest movements (non-violent resistance, free speech)
o Police violence
o Borders
o Surveillance state
– Mass migrations
o War
o Refugees
o State violence
– Economic system
– Educational systems
– Environmental justice
– Criminal justice reform
