The Philosophy and Culture Area is a welcoming and inclusive group which seeks any and all papers that explore the intersection of philosophy and culture. We typically run 8 or more sessions each year. All philosophical approaches welcome. Non-philosophers must make clear the connection of their project to the philosophical tradition.
Given recent events, and the location of this year’s conference, we encourage submissions on hot-button topics concerning the Philosophy and Popular Culture of firearm access, abortion, book challenges, sex education, the legal system, etc.
Please submit an abstract of no more than 300 words (including presentation title) and complete contact information (name, institutional affiliation, mail and e-mail addresses, and telephone number). You must be a member of the PCA to submit an abstract. ONLY abstracts submitted through the PCA/ACA website may be considered for inclusion in the conference program.
A Note on Undergraduate Submissions:
Philosophy and Culture accepts individual undergraduate submissions and panel proposals. At the conference these sessions will be chaired by an Area Chair or, in the case of a group from one institution, a supervising faculty member.
Please send all inquiries to the Philosophy and Culture Area Chairs:
Christopher Innes, Ph.D.
Boise State University
and
Jim Okapal, Ph.D.,
Missouri Western State University
