The Third Annual Southwest
Seminar in Continental Philosophy
June 7-9, 2012
Brigham Young University
Provo, Utah
The third annual Southwest Seminar in Continental Philosophy will be held on June 7-9, 2012. An opening session will be held Thursday night, followed by sessions all day Friday and Saturday.
David W. Smith of UC Irvine, addressing the topic of truth in Edmund Husserl and Alfred Tarski, and Shannon Mussett of Utah Valley University, addressing the topic of Simone de Beauvoir, Freud, and Nietzsche, will be the keynote speakers at the conference.
The meetings will be held at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and is jointly sponsored by the philosophy department of Brigham Young University and the Richard L. Evans Chair of Religious Understanding at Brigham Young University. In the same spirit of previous gatherings of SWSCP (at the University of New Mexico in 2010, at the University of Denver in 2011), we hope to continue building a regional community of participants.
All who are interested (faculty members or graduate students) are invited to submit papers of 4000 words or less, prepared for blind review, by March 15, 2012. There are plans to pursue publication of the conference’s proceedings.
Those who do not present papers but who still wish to attend could have the opportunity to be involved as Session Chairs.
For more information, or to submit a paper, please contact either Joseph Spencer of the University of New Mexico (stokiejoe@gmail.com) or James Faulconer of Brigham Young University (james_faulconer@byu.edu).
Feel free to post or distribute this call for papers.
