CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: 2020 RADICAL PHILOSOPHY CONFERENCE, Nov. 12-14, San Jose, Ca.
CONFERENCE THEME: FACING CATASTROPHE: ENVIRONMENT, TECHNOLOGY, AND MEDIA
The possibilities of impending doom once reserved to the threat of global thermonuclear warfare have unfolded and multiplied in the present day. Today there are a wide variety of reasons to fear the end of civilization, humankind, and even all life on Earth. From environmental catastrophe, automation and the AI singularity, to the saturation of mass communication with propaganda, we seem to be balancing at the tipping point on a number of fronts simultaneously. This meeting is focused on ‘facing’ catastrophe in the senses of describing its features, owning up to it, and tackling it, though papers on any topic of radical philosophy are welcome.
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTORS:
We invite 250-500 word abstracts for talks, papers, workshops, roundtable discussions, and other kinds of innovative conference contributions. We are interested to hear from activists, organizers, philosophers, and those in other related areas of scholarship and struggle. Graduate students should indicate their status to be eligible for the Iris Marion Young Prize and undergraduates should as well to be eligible for special sessions.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS MARCH 15, 2020.
Please send Word or PDF documents to Cory Wimberly at cory.wimberly.rpa@gmail.com.
