The Society for the Advancement of American Philosophy (SAAP) will hold its 43rd Annual Meeting March 3-5, 2016, at the historic Benson Hotel in Portland, Oregon. SAAP exists to advance American philosophy by promoting interest and research in its history, encouraging original and creative work in its spirit, and providing forums for the exchange of information and ideas. The theme of the conference this year is “Inter-American Philosophy,” highlighting prominent philosophies from the South, Central, and North Americas, including Indigenous philosophy. In addition to papers and panels on a wide range of topics in American Philosophy, the conference will also include a keynote address by Guillermo Hurtado, director of the Instituto de Investigaciones Filosofícas, at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México in Mexico City. The conference will also include the annual Coss Dialogue, this year featuring Charles R. Johnson, Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Washington and the author of The Middle Passage.
