Fall 2014 Symposium:  The Epistemology, Ethics, and Politics of Emergencies

The Editors of Reason Papers are soliciting submissions of manuscripts for a special symposium on emergencies (due by March 1, 2014). Send submissions to reasonpapers@gmail.com. Inquiries welcome.

Submissions may grapple with any of a wide variety of issues related to emergencies (not an exhaustive list): How is “emergency” to be defined?  How do we know when we enter/exit an emergency?  How should moral and legal norms be formulated so as to take stock of emergencies-if they should? Are moral norms defeasible in the face of emergencies, or specially contextualized so as to preserve their indefeasibility? Who has special authority for decision-making in an emergency? How best to guard against abuses of power or corruptions of norms in emergency situations?

We’re looking for submissions across the broadest spectrum of relevant disciplines-philosophy, political science, legal studies, history, sociology, anthropology, medicine, criminology/police studies, strategic/military studies, etc.

“The Power to Imagine Better”: The Philosophy of Harry Potter

This interdisciplinary conference will be held at the campus of

Marymount Manhattan College

221 East 71^st Street

New York, New York 10021

Saturday, October 29, 2011, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. (Regina Peruggi Room)

“We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better.”   -J. K. Rowling

Literary Scholar John Granger maintains that the Harry Potter corpus has become the “shared text” of the 21^st century.  Our attraction to this series, however, goes beyond its narrative appeal: the Harry Potter books contain a wide variety of philosophical themes that invite our study and discussion.

Submissions are welcome on any philosophical theme or issue arising in the Harry Potter corpus that intersects with metaphysics, ethics, religion, literature, and/or politics, not exceeding 20-25 minutes’ presentation time (approximately 2,500 words). Please send full essay submissions with a 150-word abstract via email (in Word, rtf, or pdf) in a format suitable for blind review by April 1, 2011 to: cbiondi@mmm.edu.  Notification of acceptance will be made by June 1, 2011, and a binder of the papers accepted for presentation will be made available to all of the presenters by the end of Summer 2011.  (Conference registration fee will be $25.)

If you have any questions, please contact the Conference Coordinator, Carrie-Ann Biondi (Assistant Prof. of Philosophy, Dept. of Philosophy & Religious Studies), at (212) 517-0637 or cbiondi@mmm.edu.
