BPPA Annual Conference:
Radical Philosophy ONLINE 25th – 28th of November
In association with Minorities and Philosophy (MAP)
This year’s annual British Postgraduate Philosophical Association conference is on the theme of Radical philosophy. Radical Philosophy seeks to challenge, disrupt and expand governing norms, assumptions, and methods within the Analytic tradition. Analytic philosophy, broadly construed, is a tradition of philosophy which embodies the dominant socio-historical practices and concerns of the British, Anglo-American and Central European academy. Radical philosophy aims to carve out a space within the Analytic tradition for ways of doing philosophy that have historically stood neglected, dismissed or denied; it seeks to re-imagine the established scope of the discipline.
The conference this year will be held online across four half days. Please find below the full conference schedule. Feel free to drop in and out of the sessions as you fancy. We ask that you register in order to ensure that we have a way of contacting you should there be any unforeseen technical difficulties: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/radical-philosophy-conference-tickets-129187243523
