The 13th annual meeting of philoSOPHIA will run from the evening of Thursday, May 9, to the evening of Saturday, May 11, 2019, at Memorial University in beautiful St. John’s, Newfoundland. Keynote speakers will include MARÍA LUGONES and UMA NARAYAN.
philoSOPHIA began with a focus on collective discussion of work in progress, so as to help foster a mutually supportive and collaborative community of feminist scholars in continental philosophy. To that end, this year’s program will aim to accommodate some intimate, closed workshops focused on developing productive interaction among participants, as well as regular, stand-alone panel presentations and four to five plenary sessions. Workshop participants will meet together and present their papers to each other either in the mornings or the afternoons of Friday and Saturday, and will be free to attend plenary sessions as well as panel sessions outside of that dedicated time. In your submission, you must specify what format you prefer (workshop or panel), and we will aim to accommodate that preference. Reviewers will not privilege one or the other format.
