MSU Grad Conference: CFP

Aesthetics / Biomedical Ethics / Critical Theory
Feminist Theory / Historical Ethics / Metaethics
Race Theory / Social Epistemology / Environmental Ethics

While our ability to appreciate your paper depends in part upon whether we are familiar with its specialization, we are much more interested in receiving good papers regardless of their area. We are seeking especially those papers that make an original contribution and offer careful philosophical expansion. Preference will be given to those papers that the reviewer believes will provoke thoughtful and engaged discussion.

As a graduate body, we see social interaction—as friendly, authentic discourse—as a great aid to the practice of philosophy. We hope our speakers will engage in both the scholarly and more social aspects of the conference, which include an opening dinner and farewell party.
