The 2018 Horizons of Phenomenology Conference brings together some of the foremost phenomenology scholars in North America, and an interdisciplinary collection of scholars at UC Merced interested in applications of phenomenology.There are two broad foci of the conference. First, to bring together two existing phenomenology groups for their first-ever joint meeting: the California Phenomenology Circle and the Workshop in Phenomenological Philosophy. These groups are loosely associated with “West coast” and “East coast” approaches to Husserl interpretation, and we hope the conference provides a fresh perspective on some of the decades-old scholarly controversies that have unfolded between them. The broader landscape and status of contemporary phenomenology scholarship will also be a theme. Second, to bring together working phenomenologists and researchers in other fields to see what some of the latest opportunities are for interdisciplinary research in phenomenology. Areas to be explored in dedicated panels include anthropology (in particular archaeology), cognitive science, and literature and the arts.
Funding has been provided by the UC Irvine Humanities Research Institute, the UC Merced Center for the Humanities, Cognitive and Information Sciences at UC Merced, and the UC Merced School of Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts.
