North American Undergraduate Conference in Religion and Philosophy

pittadmin — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 18:36:39 +0000

Submissions are encouraged from students majoring in all academic disciplines.

While all papers related to religion and philosophy will be considered, priority will be given to those addressing this year’s theme, “New Frontiers of Reason.” We intend to have a conversation about reason in all of its manifestations, past, present, and future. Possible inquiries might include: What is the relationship between faith and reason? Is the Internet empowering learning, or “dumbing us down”? What are the promises and perils of artificial intelligence? What do new developments in neuroscience and evolutionary psychology tell us about religion, imagination, and the mind-body problem? How does popular culture influence the American mind? Is anti-intellectualism a crippling force in modern education, politics, and society? Will scientific progress bring about a better future or a doomed apocalypse? How can reason assist us in solving questions about environmental, health care, poverty, and other social justice issues?

Paper abstracts (roughly 250 words) are due by February 20, 2013. Please include your full name, paper title, institution, e-mail, phone number, and the name and contact information of your paper’s advisor. Presenters must submit a full paper by March 11, 2013 to be considered for conference prizes. Proposals and final papers should be sent as an attached document file to Dr. Arthur Remillard at aremillard@francis.edu.
