Philosophy Graduate Student Conference
15th Annual University of Kentucky Philosophy Graduate Student Conference. March 24, 2012
"Philosophical Understanding and the Gendered Human Experience." Keynote Speaker will be Annika Thiem (Villanova University). This conference seeks papers on the concept of gender as it relates to our investigations of philosophical ideas. Preference will be given to those who focus on the effect of our experience as gendered beings upon structures of rationality, morality, and intersubjectivity, as well as political discourse and society at large. However, all quality papers will be considered, and students are encouraged to submit any paper which engages gender in a philosophically interesting way. Interdisciplinary papers are encouraged, as well. All questions should be emailed to: Caroline.a.buchanan [at] gmail [dot] com
