The inaugural Warwick Continental Philosphical Conference (WCPC) will take place on 27-29 June 2018, and is entitled 'Identity and Community: Metaphysics, Politics, Aesthetics'. The Key Note presentation will be by Professor Alison Stone (Lancaster) on the topic of Hegel and Colonialism, and she will also be participating in a round table discussion on a closely related topic on 27 June, which will be open to the public. Professor Stone has published widely on Hegel's philosophy of nature and that of other German idealist and Romantic Thinkers, such as Schelling, Schlegel, Novalis and Hölderlin.

Additionally, Professor Miguel de Beistegui will lead a Panel Discussion based upon his forthcoming book 'The Government of Desire: A Geneology of the Liberal Subject' (Chicago University Press) alongside Daniele Lorenzini (Université Saint-Louis Bruxelles/Columbia University) and Federico Testa (Warwick/Monash). Professor Bestegui has published widely on Martin Heidegger, phenomenology and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze.

Continental philosophy offers unique insight into questions of subjectivity, with the possibility of critically engaging both identity and community in their own terms, without privileging one or the other; of opening new avenues for connections to be drawn between art and politics.

The deadline for submissions is 30 April 2018 which should be sent to WCPC@warwick.ac.uk. A certain number of bursaries will be available to cover transport within Europe. If you would like to be considered for such a bursary, please make this clear in your submission mail.

This conference is made possible with the generous support of the Warwick Philosophy Department and the Humanities Research Centre.

Warwick's Centre for Research in Philosophy, Literature and the Arts (CRPLA) is seeking proposals for speakers and small workshops for AY 2015-2016. We are specifically interested in supporting speakers and events that would be of wide interest to graduate students, and interdisciplinary student-groups from grads in Philosophy, Film, English, Art History and Modern Foreign Languages. The CRPLA welcomes proposals such as those offering to host single speakers (UK based or low-budget travel), a graduate supported forum or seminar, a small panel, or an efficient conference platform. Proposals costing up to£150-£200 (max) may be funded in full. Any proposal involving more than a single funded visiting speaker is likely to require some independent fundraising. This is certainly possible from other University sources (e.g. IAS, HRC and/or Dept budgets) once CRPLA backing is secured, given sufficient lead time. Please make sure that your proposal, besides being interesting and relevant, is realistically and fully costed, and allows time for such further fund-raising if required. Ask yourself how much transport (return train tickets to Coventry, taxis, catering for lunch, dinner and/or tea and coffee, and accommodation, where required, will cost).

Please also note that the CRPLA invites speakers from the UK to present their research during the Autumn and Spring terms. Generally talks do not run past week 3 of the Summer term. We encourage you to suggest interesting speakers for this fortnightly event to speak at Warwick in AY 2015-16.

All proposals should include a brief summary of the specific theme, its direct relation to the interests of both the CRPLA and its graduate community, and a proposed itinerary and detailed budget, if applicable. The latter must include all possible costs, as listed above. All graduates students, from any of the above named departments, are encouraged to apply. Please send any questions, your suggestions for visiting speakers, and workshop proposals to the CRPLA Graduate Representatives, Johannes Niederhauser and Joseph Shafer, to the following email address, we've set up for this purpose: CRPLAgradreps@gmail.com

In celebration of the 125^th year of the Proceedings, we are proud to announce the start of the first ever Online Conference of the Aristotelian Society: a weeklong event featuring classic papers from our back catalogue, commentaries on these papers delivered by contemporary philosophers, and an online-based discussion forum that is open to everyone. We hope that you’ll enjoy participating in the discussion.
