I’m presenting a bit from my dissertation (some writing and works from chapters 1, 2 and mostly 4 - not that it’s done) at this conference at the University College of Dublin in a few weeks. If last year’s graduate student conference on philosophy and embodiment was any indication, this year’s should be grand.

UCD Intercorporeality and Intersubjectivity Conference
Quinn School of Business
June 6-7, 2008

This conference will provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on the theme of the body and society. The renowned academic Professor Gail Weiss from George Washington University will present a paper entitled “Intertwined Identities: The Challenges to Bodily Autonomy”. Professor Stephen Mennell has written extensively on the work of Norbert Elias and will give a paper entitled “Against Dualism: Bodies in Light of Norbert Elias’ Post-Philosophical Sociology”. In addition to these keynote speakers we have sixteen confirmed international and Irish speakers who will present on a diverse range of topics. Panels include Embodied Ethics, Gender and Feminism, Body Politics, Embodied Aesthetics, and Embodied Relations.
