Coffee, Tea, or Gender?

More caffeinated philosophy tomorrow night (Wednesday, March 20th, 5:00-7:00 p.m.) at the Gnu’s Room. This time I’m on a panel on “gender, sex, and love.” I’ll probably talk about the social construction of gender roles. I don’t know who else is on the panel. Come on by if you’re in the area!

Updated info (including location) for the Molinari Society panel tomorrow:

Emma Goldman and Voltairine de Cleyre

Eastern APA, Marriott Marquis, Atlanta, Friday, 28 December:

Molinari Society, 2:00-5:00 p.m. [GIV-3, room L406 (lobby level, past the fitness center; see map]:
Explorations in Philosophical Anarchy

presenters:
Matthew Quest (Independent Scholar), “Between Insurrection and Popular Self-Management: Emma Goldman and the Self-Governing Will”
Roderick T. Long (Auburn University), “Transformation or Abolition: Marriage and the Family in the Individualist Anarchist Tradition”

commentators:
Nina Brewer-Davis (Auburn University)
Charles Johnson (Molinari Institute)

Frustratingly, they’ve scheduled our session opposite a session that includes both a paper on C. L. R. James (one of Matthew’s main research interests) and a paper on the abolition of marriage. Les choses sont contre nous.

P.S. – If my online presence has been scant lately, it’s because my home internet connection is on the fritz. That’ll be corrected next year (i.e., next week).


Report From Libertopia, Part 4

I’m back from Libertopia, hanging out in the Atlanta airport waiting for my shuttle to Auburn.

Yesterday morning I attended Charles’ FMAC Q&A (unfortunately scheduled opposite Gary’s talk on war), David Gordon’s critique of argumentation ethics (yes!), and a “Declaration of Independence 2.0” presentation by Gary, Sky Conway, and Stefan Molyneux (the latter of whom peered with puzzlement at my feminist button).

In the afternoon I spoke on a free cities panel (subbing for Michael Strong, who’s tied up – not literally I hope – in Honduras fighting a court challenge to his free city project), and after that Charles, Gary, Sheldon, and I had an FMAC panel. Between sessions we tabled. As always, a great time. Photos to follow. See also the Molinari news page.
