The 27th McDowell Conference

This gathering brings together leading voices in philosophy, critical theory, and interdisciplinary studies to interrogate the social, ethical, and political dimensions of artificial intelligence from diverse perspectives-Western and non-Western, humanist and posthumanist, feminist and critical race.

The William Fraser McDowell Professorship was established in 1937 on the basis of a gift to the Department of Philosophy and Religion from the estate of Bishop William Fraser McDowell. The four previous incumbents were Professor Aubert Bain Potorf, Professor Harold A. Durfee, Professor Jeffrey Reiman, and Professor Ellen Feder. The present incumbent, Professor Jin Y. Park, has among her responsibilities the organization of the McDowell Conference and the appointment of McDowell Fellows.
