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

Quit it Japan, You are making me hungry

Japan has fantastic food, and it is very hard to come across something that isn't appetizing. I thought I would share a few places that I have been and some of the things I have eaten. Don't get too excited there isn't anything really out of the ordinary so far. 

 In Kobe we found ourselves hunting for Kobe beef so we decided to eat at this hibachi style place in the heart of the city. Of course little did we know, as I mentioned earlier, Kobe beef is just as expensive in Kobe as anywhere else. So we opted for beef raised the same way, but didn't quite make the grade when it came time to be eaten. Overall it was a delicious meal and a lot of fun. We enjoyed several courses, starting with salad, then onto soup, followed by vegetables beef and rice.
