Cfp: 6th Annual Meeting, California Roundtable on Philosophy and Race, Hampshire College, October 2-3, 2009.

The California Roundtable on Philosophy and Race announces a call for papers for its annual meeting. This roundtable brings together philosophers of race, and those working in related fields in a small and congenial setting to share their work and to help further this sub-discipline of philosophy. Philosophical papers are invited on any issue regarding race, ethnicity, or racism, and including those that take up race in the context of another topic, such as feminism, political philosophy, ethics, justice, culture, identity, biology, phenomenology, existentialism, psychoanalysis, metaphysics, or epistemology. Papers should be no more than 30 minutes in length. Keynote Speaker: Charles Mills, John M. Evans Professor of Intellectual and Moral Philosophy, Northwestern University. Submissions are especially encouraged from junior scholars and philosophers of color. We seek to foster a productive and intellectually stimulating environment for those working in philosophy and race. The Roundtable also aspires to bring together junior and senior scholars to develop and enhance constructive mentoring relationships.
