CALL FOR PAPERS

University of Washington Graduate Conference for Interdisciplinary Studies
May 4-5, 2006
Submission Deadline: February 10, 2006

*****************************************************
Faith, Knowledge and the Interface of Epistemologies
Speaker: Robert Michel Pyle
*****************************************************

The relationships between knowledge and power, the doctrinal foundations of
faith, the empiricism of modern science, the convergence of different 
knowledge
systems and, what and how one knows have been sources of perennial 
contention.
By investigating competing frames of knowledge and their interface, this
conference aims to bring to light, among other issues, how competing
epistemologies generate claims of truth and interact in the context of 
social
negotiation. Given the interdisciplinary platform of this conference, 
candidates
are also encouraged to consider how their work can be situated within a 
wider
academic discourse. With this in mind, the graduate students of the 
University
of Washington welcome papers on "Faith, Knowledge and the Interface of
Epistemologies" from all disciplines.

Topics might include but are not limited to:
--Methodology as Ideology
--Systems of Belief
--Knowledge Systems
--Experiment or Experience
--Dogmas
--Human vs. Non-human knowledge
--Relations of Power
--Knowledge in Community
--Technologies of Knowing
--Knowledge and Religion
--Archaeologies and Histories of Knowledge

Papers will be allotted 20 minutes (8-10 pages MLA), and abstracts (250 
words)
should include full name, paper title, and institutional affiliation.

Submission deadline is February 10th, 2006.

Abstracts should be sent to: uwclit@u.washington.edu.
