As a result\, our (mis)understandings of “nature” and “environment” may make us insensitive to and perpetuate\, rather than address\, climate change an d other environmental catastrophes. To avoid ambiguities and clarify our u nderstanding\, we must ask: what role does Nature play within our theories and practices concerning so-called Environmental Philosophy? Furthermore\ , what spaces\, practices\, and questions are made possible when we broade n our understanding of “environment” to include a more robust conceptualiz ation of the natural world and how the human being ought to be contextuali zed within it?\nThis conference asks how we might reorient the language an d practices of philosophy in a way that can enable us to adequately respon d to ongoing environmental crises. As a starting point\, we propose a need to reimagine the concepts “human\,” “nature\,” and “environment\,” as wel l as the reciprocal relations that constitute them. To recognize humans as natural organisms\, we must reevaluate the sensuous\, the material\, and the aesthetic and the roles they play in our attempts to construct\, under stand\, and preserve our environment(s). How should we make sense of our p ractices and our relations to those with whom we share our surroundings? H ow can we re-situate the human with/in the environment? Do we have the rig ht tools to guide these investigations? How might philosophy look beyond i tself—to literature\, architecture\, music\, film\, design—to better bring Environment\, and thus the world\, into view? In the spirit of this\, we invite paper as well as project submissions from current graduate students in any discipline.\nPossible Topics:\n● Environmental Aesthetics: Re-Considering Beauty + the Sublime\n● Environmental Justice + Rest orative Justice + Transformative Justice\n● Environmental Ethics + Sustainable Practices\n● Diversity + Biodiversity\n● Capital ism and Climate\n● Eco-phenomenology\n● Eco-deconstruction\n ● Environmental Racism/Racist Environments\n● Ecofeminist co nceptions of nature\n● Land Rights and Property Relations\n● Posthumanism + Object Ontologies\n● Afrofuturism + Technological U topias\n● Environmental Ethics In Narratives\n● Mastery of N ature in Philosophy\n● Anarcho-primitivism\n● Queer and Tran s Ecologies\n● Local and Global Ecologies\n● Regionalisms an d Globalisms in the Ecological Imagination\n \nConfirmed Conference Keynot es:\nSandra Shapshay\, CUNY Graduate Center\, New York\nEmanuele Coccia\, École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS)\, Paris\nDates and Lo cation:\nThis conference will be held at the New School for Social Researc h in New York City from Thursday\, April 14\, to Saturday\, April 16.

Political Con cepts: A Critical Lexicon began as a multidisciplinary\, web-based journal in which an assemblage of contributions focused on a single concept with the express intention of re-situating its meaning in the field of politica l discourse. By reflecting on what has remained unquestioned or unthought in that concept\, this all-around collection of essays seeks to open pathw ays for another future—one that is not already determined and ill-fated. p>\n
From this forum for engaged scholarship\, a succession of academic conferences have sprung as a space for conversation and constructive debat e\, including last year’s Political Concepts Graduate Conference. Organize d by students of the Departments of Anthropology\, Philosophy\, and Politi cs at the New School for Social Research\, Political Concepts invites grad uate students from all fields of study to participate in our upcoming grad uate student conference in Spring 2023. Held at NSSR over March 24-5\, the conference will serve as a workshop of ideas on the multiplicity of power s\, structures\, problems\, and orientations that shape our collective lif e.
\nBecause Political Concepts does not predetermine what does or d oes not count as political\, the conference welcomes essays that fashion n ew political concepts or demonstrate how concepts deserve to be taken as p olitically significant. Papers should be dedicated to a single political c oncept\, like an encyclopedia entry\, but the analysis of the concept does not have to abide to traditional approaches. Some of the concepts contend ed with in last year’s vibrant conference included abolition\, survival\, statistics\, solitude\, resentment\, statistics\, dependence\, imaginary\, and solidarity. Other examples can be found in the published papers on th ePolitical Concepts website.
\nThe conference will take the format o f a series of panels across two days. Panels will contain two presenters w hose papers are thematically and theoretically related — creating a space for critical engagement between the authors\, as well as with other attend ees. Each presenter will have 25 minutes to present their paper\, along wi th 40 minutes for discussion at the end. This year\, there will be a facul ty roundtable with NSSR professors serving on the Political Concepts edito rial board\, namely\, Ann Laura Stoler\, Jay M. Bernstein\, and Andreas Ka lyvas.
\nAbstracts should be no longer than 750 words in a pdf forma t\, and prepared for blind review\, so please ensure that your abstract is free from any identifying personal details. Abstracts must be submitted t hrough this google form by December 15\, 2022 EST. Any inquiries can be se nt to politicalconceptsNSSR@gmail.com.
\nApplicants must be advanced graduate students and their concept must be a central part of a longer-te rm project in order to be accepted. Results will be informed in January. p>\n X-TAGS;LANGUAGE=en-US:cfp\,conference\,political END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:ai1ec-7877@www.noahgreenstein.com/wordpress DTSTAMP:20240329T104455Z CATEGORIES;LANGUAGE=en-US:New School for Social Research CONTACT:https://philevents.org/event/show/103578 DESCRIPTION:The New School for Social Research Philosophy Department is hos ting our annual Graduate Student Conference April 13-15th 2023 in person i n New York City.\nThis year’s topic is Textures of Change: Social Imaginar ies\, Narratives\, and the Possibility of Politics.\nKeynote Speakers:\nMa ría Pía Lara (Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana)\nFanny Söderbäck (Södert örn University)\nEva Von Redecker (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin)\nIt has become common for political theorists and philosophers to insist on the n ecessity of new imaginaries and narratives.

\nIt has become common for political theorist s and philosophers to insist on the necessity of new imaginaries and narra tives. Crises of authority\, financial meltdowns\, and environmental disas ters compel us to look for alternative frameworks and practices.

\nThis conference focuses on the current debate on political imaginaries and narratives to investigate some of these ques tions. As a starting point\, we propose to challenge standard Marxist or e pistemological approaches to the topic that either interpret imaginaries a nd narratives as ideological projections (a product of false consciousness ) or merely as individual\, cognitive faculties. Rather\, we suggest think ing about imaginaries and narratives as larger sensuous and embodied pract ices that re-orient material structures of domination and allow for a refl ective rearticulation of collective demands. In particular\, we set out to clarify: the meaning of “imaginaries” and/or “narratives” as forms of sen se-making\; their ability to shift existing discourses and power relations \; the way in which they foster different ways of feeling\, seeing\, actin g-in\, and experiencing the world in a time of crisis\; the way in which t hey are embedded in artistic and literary practices\; and the way in which they address—or fail to address—marginalized subjects.

\nThe deadli ne is January 3rd\, 2023
\nThe Center fo r Philosophy of Religion at Rutgers University is pleased to host an in-pe rson\, working-papers conference on the Psychology and Epistemology of Rel igious Experience. We are seeking abstracts (150-350 words) from those int erested in participating. The tentative date is 15-16 April 2023. And the deadline for submission is 28 February 2023. Participants with accepted su bmissions will be given hotel accommodations and a modest honorarium to he lp defray travel costs.
\nTheme
\nThe overall theme of the workshop is the Psychology and Epistemology of Religious Experiences. Philosophers of religion frequently assign religious experiences important epistemic roles\, such as justifying religious beliefs. But religious exp eriences of the kind philosophers are interested in are also studied in ot her fields as well\, such as psychology and religious studies. However\, t he psychology and epistemology of religious experiences are presumably not independent\; studying them together is likely to be insightful in variou s ways. To that end\, we are interested in bringing together scholars work ing on the psychology and epistemology of religious experiences. Potential topics include:
\n· The nature of religious experiences
\n· Taxonomies of religious experiences
\n· Potential p sychological mechanisms and accounts of religious experience
\n· The relation between perception and religious experiences
\n· The epistemology of religious experience
\n· The interactio ns between the psychology and epistemology of religious experience
\n· The relation of cognitive science of religion to religious experi ence
\nAny proposed papers on these topics\, or similar ones\, are w elcome. Papers exploring interdisciplinary approaches are also welcome.
\nInstructions
\nPlease submit an abstract (150-350 words )\, long abstract (350-650 words)\, or full paper to Timothy Perrine at tp654@scarletm ail.rutgers.edu. Submission should be prepared for blind review. In a separate document please provide your name\, institutional affiliation (if applicable)\, and contact information. Submission deadline is 28 February \; acceptances will be decided by 5 March\; and the workshop will be held 15-16 April.

\nOur discourse will also scrutinize epistemic injustice\, examining whether universalist epistemologies privi lege specific knowledge systems while silencing valid alternatives. We aim to shed light on social and political issues overlooked by dominant knowl edge frameworks through inclusive dialogues. This conference fosters criti cal exploration and inclusive discourse\, drawing on interdisciplinary stu dies in philosophy\, sociology\, and political theory.

\n\n\n\n\nPolitical Con cepts: A Critical Lexicon began as a multidisciplinary\, web-based journal in which an assemblage of contributions focused on a single concept with the express intention of re-situating its meaning in the field of politica l discourse. By reflecting on what has remained unquestioned or unthought in that concept\, this all-around collection of essays seeks to open pathw ays for another future—one that is not already determined and ill-fated. p>\n
From this forum for engaged scholarship\, a succession of academic conferences have sprung as a space for conversation and constructive debat e\, including its Graduate Conference at the New School for Social Researc h organized by students of the Departments of Anthropology\, Economics\, P hilosophy\, Politics\, and Sociology. Political Concepts invites graduate students from all fields of study to participate in our upcoming conferenc e in Spring 2024. Held at NSSR over March 29-30\, the conference will serv e as a workshop of ideas on the multiplicity of powers\, structures\, prob lems\, and orientations that shape our collective life.
\nBecause Po litical Concepts does not predetermine what does or does not count as poli tical\, the conference welcomes essays that fashion new political concepts or demonstrate how concepts deserve to be taken as politically significan t. Papers should be dedicated to a single political concept\, like an ency clopedia entry\, but the analysis of the concept does not have to abide to traditional approaches. Some of the concepts contended with in previous y ears’ vibrant conferences included abolition\, survival\, catastrophe\, re sentment\, money\, dependence\, trans\, imaginary\, and solidarity. Other examples can be found in the published papers on the Political Concepts we bsite.
\nAbstracts should be no longer than 750 words in a pdf forma t\, and prepared for blind review\, so please ensure that your abstract is free from any identifying personal details. Please title your abstract wi th your concept. Abstracts must be submitted through this google form (htt ps://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfyVC0H0LSpcyJ3QpcbAvZjEkcUYoS-TCp0k Pc6ObTg4YFSiQ/viewform) by December 7\, 2023 EST.

\nBook Panel with:
\nChiara Bottici (NSSR and Lang College)\, Judith Butler (UC Berkeley and NSSR) and Romy Opperman (NSSR and Lang College).
\n< strong>Abstract:
\nHow can we be sure the oppressed do not become oppressors in their turn? How can we envisage a feminism that does n’t turn into yet another tool for oppression? By arguing that there is no single arche explaining the oppression of women and LGBTQI+ people\, Chia ra Bottici proposes a radical anarchafeminist philosophy inspired by two m ajor claims: that there is something specific to the oppression of ‘the se cond sexes’\, and that\, in order to fight that\, we need to untangle all other forms of oppression and the anthropocentrism they inhabit. On the ba sis of a Spinozist philosophy of transindividuality\, Anarchafeminism call s for a decolonial and deimperial attitude and for a renewed awareness of the somatic communism connecting all different life forms on the planet. I n this revolutionary vision\, feminism does not mean the liberation of the lucky few\, but liberation of the planet from both capitalist exploitatio n and an anthropocentric politics of domination. Either the entire planet\ , or none of us will be free.

\nIn the history of philosophy\, most of th e ‘great’ philosophers engaged with questions about women’s ‘nature’ and t he appropriate role for women in the family\, society\, and state.
\nHobbes\, however\, seems to have far less to say on the subject than most \, and what he does say is often ambiguous or paradoxical.
\nIt is a fundamental tenet of Hobbes’s political theory that all people are equal in the state of nature\, women included\; yet he makes reference to the ge neral superiority of men as regards physical strength\, courage\, wit\, an d suitability for rule.
\nHobbes denies the naturalness\, inevitabil ity\, and godliness of patriarchy\, and he even argues for natural materna l right\; however\, he describes families in civil societies in terms of f athers ruling over their servants and children—leaving women out of the pi cture altogether.
\nHis texts are peppered with various offhan d comments\, allusions\, and intimations about women and sexuality more ge nerally\, many of which are provocative and undeveloped.
\n< span>One of the most intriguing parts of his analysis is his repeated appe al to the example of the ancient Amazonian warrior women who engaged in pr ocreative contracts with men from neighboring tribes.
\n\n
In this paper\, the speaker uses Hobbes’s discussion of the Am azons to examine his views about gender and\, thereby\, his place in the h istory of philosophy as seen from a feminist perspective.
