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, will be the keynote speaker, addressing the topic of truth in Edmund Husserl and Alfred Tarski.

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.

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.
