We've extended our deadline for submissions to the 2019 US Midwest SWIP Conference (IN CINCINNATI!) to Sept. 1st. Please distribute widely and submit!
U.S. MIDWEST SWIP 2019 CONFERENCE
NOVEMBER 1-3 AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI, OHIO
Call for Abstracts:
The Midwest U.S. Division of the Society for Women in Philosophy invites papers in all areas of feminist philosophy, theory, and praxis, including but not limited to ethics, social/political philosophy, phenomenology, existentialism, epistemology, and metaphysics. U.S. Midwest SWIP is interested in enriching discussions about contemporary social and political issues, and we welcome work that interrogates how such issues intersect with race, gender, ability, and class.
For our 2019 conference, USMSWIP is pleased to welcome Serene Khader as our keynote speaker.
Submission Guidelines:
Please submit an extended abstract of 800-1000 words with a preliminary bibliography (We will also accept full paper submissions of no more than 3000 words). Please send all submissions as MS word documents, and include as a separate attachment, a cover page with the title, institutional affiliation, rank or occupation, and email address of the presenters to: [email protected] by September 1st, 2019.
In light of recent events, we are particularly interested in submissions that engage with the lives and experiences of q***r, trans*, le***an, gay, and bisexual people of color, and will give preference to submissions that address this topic.
Other potential themes include:
Mass Incarceration, Cradle-to-prison Pipeline, and Carceral Feminisms
Sexual Assault and Gender-based Violence
Police and State Violence against People of Color and Trans* People
Coloniality and Decolonial Methodologies
Queer/Crip Theory and Disability Studies
Insurrectional Political Action and Uprisings

The program committee gives preference to women and members of other marginalized groups who are working on feminist projects that engage multiple axes of oppression. We also welcome the work of scholars at any stage in their careers.
