Conference Overview
The North Texas Philosophical Association (NTPA) is renowned for its decades-long commitment to philosophical scholarship and education.
Our annual spring conference attracts regional, national and international participants, from graduate students to emerging and well-established professionals. Past keynote speakers include Simon Critchley, John Caputo, John Sallis, Sandra Harding, Alfonso Lingis, Babette Babich, Steven Crowell, Keith Ansell-Pearson, Chaone Mallory, and Santiago Zabala.
The NTPA welcomes papers from all philosophical perspectives although it is especially amenable to the continental philosophical tradition. We regularly accept papers in the history of philosophy, phenomenology, philosophical hermeneutics, environmental philosophy, philosophy of religion, critical theory, critical race theory, feminist philosophy, aesthetics, post-colonialism, and post-structuralism. We especially encourage submissions from historically overlooked or marginalized perspectives.
An open call for papers will be announced during the fall. We now accept payment for conference fees online via PayPal.
