We cordially invite all queers to the second annual Queer Analytic Philosophy Conference, hosted by UC Santa Cruz, June 22-24, 2026.
The aim of the conference is to foreground philosophical work in the analytic tradition (very broadly conceived) that's informed by queer experience, community, and theorizing, as well as to build community among queer scholars in philosophy and beyond. The conference will conveniently take place at the University of California, Santa Cruz during the week leading up to San Francisco pride. 🏳️🌈 ✊🏽 🏳️⚧️ |
