The 4th Latinx Philosophy Conference will be partnering with the APA Society for Mexican American Philosophy (SMAP) for one full length conference that directly brings philosophical thinking to bear on problems of concern for Latinx individuals and Latinx communities. As such, the conference will be the first of its kind.
The Latinx Philosophy Conference celebrates philosophical work by Latinx and Latin American philosophers on issues particularly relevant to Latinx and Latin American peoples. The conference aims to bring together philosophers working on a wide variety of topics, from a wide variety of philosophical and interdisciplinary traditions.
SMAP is dedicated to the support and promotion of Mexican-American philosophy in all its manifestations. It seeks to provide a venue for inquiry into philosophical issues that are of concern for Mexican-Americans and, more broadly, persons of Latin American descent. To this end, the society is particularly interested in social justice issues (e.g. imperialism, colonization, immigration, civil and human rights, race, gender, discrimination, and language) as well as issues pertaining to identity and citizenship in its various forms (e.g. social, political, or cultural). The society further supports historical and contemporary research on Mexican philosophy, including the philosophies of Mexico’s indigenous peoples and current work on indigeneity. Lastly, the society supports scholars who are or wish to become actively engaged in their communities by providing a venue to present civically-engaged scholarship.
