About the Conference

The primary goal of the this conference is to promote diversity in the area of philosophy and to promote philosophical issues focused on minority issues. The conference is an opportunity for graduate students to participate in an activity that is expected from philosophers once they begin their professional careers, as well as to share the newest research in minority topics with others. We also hope to reach undergraduate students with the intention of introducing them to philosophy, formal arguments concerning minority issues, and to encourage them to think about matters and questions concerning diversity in life and thinking.

As a newly formed graduate student organization, this is the first S.W.A.P. sponsored conference. We hope this will become an annual event, further promoting philosophy in minority issues. Please visit the S.W.A.P. website for further information about our organization.
