Although the project seems to have ended in March 2025, it's still bearing fruit, e.g., a conference just last week. So, still worth paying attention to.

Do I hear Pauline Kleingeld? She’s a superstar in the department of my former colleagues.

Slavery and Abolition in Eighteenth-Century Philosophy May 13-15, 2026 Emory University Atlanta, Georgia Call for Papers Recent studies of eighteenth-century philosophy have generated incisive questions about the limitations of the moral and political insight of British and European philosophers who were invested in (or silent about) transatlantic slavery. During this period, the rapidly expanding traffic and enslavement of African people appears as a topic of common knowledge and discussion in religion, law, economics, literature, and drama. Writings by enslaved and self-emancipated women and men attested to the violence and degradation of the conditions of slavery, as well as to the hypocrisy of much of Western moral and political discourse. This symposium invites proposals (500 words) for 25- minute presentations that consider writing about slavery and abolition both as and in conversation with eighteenth-century philosophy. We expect to host 15-20 scholars whose presentations engage with these topics directly or indirectly: Marronage and Slave Rebellions Theology and Abolition Economic Theory and Slavery Black Abolitionists (in context) Gender and Enslavement Marriage and Slavery Natural law and Slavery Moral Philosophy and Slavery Women Philosophers on Slavery Colonialism and Slavery Reparation and Restitution Colorism and 18th-Century Theories of Race Political Slavery War and Slavery Local Histories of Slavery in the Eighteenth-Century (Georgia) Submission Deadline: October 15th, 2025 [Submit Proposals Online]: https://forms.gle/YodCMraMr34W2pA77 Organizers: Aminah Hasan-Birdwell (Emory University) Carrie Shanafelt (Yeshiva University) Keynote Speaker: Robert Bernasconi (Pennsylvania State University) Plenary Lecture: Huaping Lu-Adler (Georgetown University)

Call for proposals: Slavery and Abolition in Eighteenth-Century Philosophy
May 13-15, 2026
Emory University

Proposals of 500 words for 25-
minute presentations.

Submission Deadline: October 15, 2025
