We live at a time when the imperial designs of the United States have become starkly visible and frighteningly attainable, and it is an empire like none before it. The Radical Philosophy Association PA welcomes papers and presentations that critique the reality of the American Empire for its sixth biennial conference, to be held at Howard University in Washington, DC November 4-7, 2004.

In the spirit of collaboration, and in the recognition that radical philosophy is often done outside traditional philosophical settings, we invite submissions not only from philosophers inside and outside the academy, but also from those who engage in theoretical work in other academic disciplines--such as ethnic studies, women's studies, social sciences and literary studies--and from those engaged in theoretical work unconnected to the academy. Also, undergraduate students should consider organizing their own sessions or workshops. We especially welcome contributions from those often excluded from or marginalized in philosophy.

Please send paper, workshop, poster, and other proposals to the address below. You may also submit them as an email attachment. NOTE: Please do NOT submit complete papers. All submissions must be postmarked by January 31, 2004.
