CALL FOR COMMENTATORS The 25th annual Midsouth Philosophy Conference is scheduled for Friday afternoon and Saturday, February 23-24, at the University of Memphis. Dr. Pauline Kleingeld (Washington University) will give the keynote address on "Cosmopolitanism, Patriotism, and Democracy." Approximately 100 papers will be presented at the conference. Every paper will have a commentator. Each commentary is about ten minutes in length. Unfortunately, we do not have enough commentators. HELP! We need commentators for papers on almost every topic of philosophic interest. If you're willing to comment on a paper, notify Dr. Joanna Crosby <[log in to unmask]> of your availability and areas of interest. If you can't attend the Midsouth Philosophy Conference, please forward this email to colleagues or graduate students who might be able to comment on a paper. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. I greatly appreciate your help with this! There will be a $20 conference registration fee. It includes dinner and music on Friday evening. The University of Memphis UNDERGRADUATE PHILOSOPHY CONFERENCE will have parallel sessions. Please encourage students to attend and submit papers. Papers in any area are welcome.
