The 28th Concerned Philosophers for Peace Conference will be held at Loyola University Maryland on October 22-24, 2015. All topics relevant to the mission of the CPP are welcome, but special attention will be devoted to the 2015 conference theme: Cultural Violence. Submission deadline is May 1, 2015.
Conference Theme: Cultural Violence
Cultural violence refers to the aspects of a culture that can be used to legitimize direct or structural violence. Cultural violence limits our possibilities to imagine peaceful forms of living by normalizing direct and structural violence. Thus, to understand the causes of violence it is necessary to unmask the discourses that make it acceptable. This year’s CPP conference invites submissions on the following topics (however, we welcome all papers relevant to the mission of the CPP):
Submission Guidelines: Please submit an abstract of 500 words to 2015CPP@gmail.com by May 1, 2015. In the body of your e-mail, please include your name, paper title, institutional affiliation, and e-mail address. Please use “2015 CPP Submission” in the subject line of your email.
Notification of Acceptance: The organizing committee will notify the authors with decisions no later than 1st of June.
Main Contact and Conference Information: Fuat Gursozlu, fgursozlu@loyola.edu.
