2025 Great Lakes Philosophy Conference
Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: Past, Present, and Future
Dates: April 11-13, 2025
Location: Virtual, via Microsoft Teams
Deadline for Submissions: February 1st, 2025
Notification of Acceptance: February 15th, 2025
Any paper that broadly construes the “Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: Past, Present, and Future” theme will be considered. Topics might include, but are not limited to, trends in ethics, justice and peace, philosophy of race, just war theory, pedagogical approaches, feminist perspectives, epistemology, applied and professional application, metaphysics, political or ethical theory, and multi and/or interdisciplinary approaches.
We hope to have an interdisciplinary event and welcome submissions from high school students, undergraduate students, graduate students, and professional philosophers, as well as from a range of fields including but not limited to law, public policy, business, health sciences, history, religious studies, political science, social science, or related fields. Submissions from scientists, researchers, or practitioners are also welcome, particularly insofar as those presentations complement the theme of the conference. We invite proposals from individuals and pairs, though it should be noted that each presenter will need to register individually. We also especially encourage proposals from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds in the field and are committed to making this year’s conference inclusive and welcoming to all.
**There will be a prize for the best undergraduate student paper.**
