Published by mmgillis October 21st, 2006 in Events, Philosophy Calls for Papers| February 28, 2007 | ||
| September 27, 2007 | to | September 30, 2007 |
September 27 – 30, 2007 in Clearwater Beach, Florida.
Keynote speakers: Joan C. Callahan, Carol C. Gould and Joy James
Submission deadline: February 28, 2007
Submissions must include a paper with a 3,000-word limit and an abstract of 100-250 words.
An exact word count of the paper must be provided at the top left-hand corner of the first page of the paper.
No paper that omits the word count will be considered, nor will any paper over the 3,000 word limit.
Proposals for panels must include abstracts and papers—with word count—for each panelist.
Proposals for presentations other than papers (e.g. workshops, discussions, etc.) must include detailed descriptions demonstrating that the ideas are as developed as they would be in a paper.
Theoretical papers on all topics within the areas of feminist ethics and social theory are welcome.
The program committee aims to create a conference with a diverse group of presenters and a diversity of philosophical topics and styles.
We especially invite submissions for the following special panels:
The “Difficult Conversations” workshop is held as a lunchtime event at each FEAST conference. In 2001 the conversation was about how racism has affected participants’ lives, and in 2003 there was a conversation between disabled women and women who care for persons with disabilities. As with the 2005/6 topic, the 2007 topic will be open. Submissions should describe the proposed topic and workshop format, and should name the facilitator and list presenters.
FEAST 2007 will honor the life and work of the late Iris Marion Young by dedicating the conference’s opening session on Thursday evening to a panel on her work. Alison M. Jaggar and Eva F. Kittay are scheduled to present, but we also solicit submissions of individual papers, including those by former students.
FEAST strongly encourages members of groups that are underrepresented in both the discipline of philosophy and at feminist philosophy conferences to send submissions.
All submissions will be anonymously reviewed.
