NW Philosophy Conference 2021

The 72nd Annual Northwest Philosophy Conference

Portland State University
Portland, OR
November 12 & 13, 2021

The Northwest Philosophy Conference is held each fall, attracting philosophers from across the United States and abroad. The primary purpose of this conference is to provide a forum for philosophical work as a service to the profession. This has been the major professional philosophy conference in the region for the past 73 years.

This year we are planning a hybrid format for the conference. We expect that it will be possible for some of us to meet in person, but we will continue monitoring the COVID-19 situation, state and city recommendations, as well as guidance from our university. If it becomes impossible to hold the conference partly in person, we will move fully online.
