I- Names and institutional affiliations of the project steering committee: Mickaella Perina, Philosophy, University of Massachusetts Boston Falguni Sheth, School of Critical Social Inquiry (formerly School of Social Science), Hampshire College II- Project’s purpose: The California Roundtable on Philosophy and Race is a young organization with no registration fee. It is completely dependent upon the generosity of sponsors for its annual conference. The Roundtable was begun in 2004 and initially hosted in California (by the University of San Francisco and the University of California at Northridge Philosophy Departments). In 2009, the meetings began to be held nationally: (Hampshire College (MA) in 2009, Northwestern University (IL) in 2010, the University of Massachusetts Boston (MA) in 2011, Hunter College (NY) in 2012 and DePaul University (IL) this year). The CRPR brings together philosophers of race from various traditions and scholars in related disciplines to exchange ideas and further this critical philosophy of race in a collegial setting. It is also a space where young philosophers and PhD candidates find support and mentoring. The CRPR has been fostering philosophical conversations and professional relationship across the boundaries of philosophical traditions, languages, and cultures, with regard to philosophy of race and related subdisciplines. In this sense, the CRPR has benefited the profession. Examples of how this organization can benefit the profession are listed below under “background.” The roundtable has grown over the years and philosophers from all over the country and from abroad attend our annual meetings. Nevertheless, over the past 10 years, it has proven difficult to secure enough funding from hosting universities and from the organizer’s own institutions; the organization will be seeking large grant for the upcoming years and this grant proposal focused on the 11th annual meeting to be host at Marquette University (WI) is intended as a seed project.

III- Groundwork: This year the California Roundtable on Philosophy and Race will celebrate its 10th anniversary. It has proven to be a genuine opportunity for cross-traditions exchanges, rigorous philosophical conversations and dedicated mentoring that has impacted the young subfield of critical philosophy of race in significant ways. Many of the papers presented and discussed at the Roundtable are now published and several of them earned distinctions and awards and many graduate students who presented at the roundtable now held positions in departments of philosophy. The exemplify how serious scholarship and collaborative work can come out of rigorous, engaged and congenial cross-tradition workshops and further our understanding of philosophy as a discipline and as a practice. Our keynote speakers over the last 10 years have included: Tommy Lott, San Jose State University (2004) Sally Haslanger, MIT (2005) Howard McGary, Rutgers University (2006) Robert Gooding-Williams, University of Chicago (2007) Maria Lugones, Binghamton University (2008) Charles Mills, Northwestern University (2009) Lawrence Blum, U.Mass Boston (2010) Linda Martin Alcoff, Hunter College/CUNY (2011) Joy James, Williams College (2012) Lucius Outlaw (2013) Because we have had a unique and yet recurrent mix of generous senior philosophy and junior professors and graduate students, we have been told by presenters and participants year after year that the CRPR has been a remarkable site of intellectual and collegial conversations, as well as groundbreaking conversations. IV- Plan and Timeline: We meet every September or October at an institution within the U.S. Within the next few years, we would like to build alliances with international philosophy departments that are interested in the Philosophy of Race. V- Budget: Over the years we have secured funding from host institutions and from the co-organizers home institutions to support honoraria for keynote speakers, rooms and I.T. material. We have invested our own funds to cover additional expenses such as flyers, folders, etc. Often we may provide between $300-$1000 of our own (personal, private, non-institutional) budgets, not including our personal travel and lodging expenses. As a result, we have been unable to provide help with travel expenses or lodging for graduate students For the 10th California Roundtable on Philosophy and Race we have already secured some of the funding required. For the 11th CRPR we request $5,000 from the APA to unable us to achieve the following goals: pay a graduate student to further develop and maintain the website, publicize the conference, partially fund travel and lodging for graduate students, as well as for the three organizers, who receive no funding from their departments to organize and hold, or to travel to these meetings.


VI- Other Funding: Institutional funding from the sponsoring institution, with occasional assistance from the home institutions of the organizers. VII- Advertisement: The conference website is http://www.caroundtable.webs.com/ So far it has been maintained by Professor Sheth; we hope to be able to hire someone with web design training to further develop the website, create links and maintain it to help give the organization more visibility. We typically produce flyers and posters for each conference, which are distributed at the National APA meetings. As well, we maintain an extensive email list, and send notice of our CFP to several philosophy listservs, including those maintained by Philosop, Bertold Bernreuter, SWIP, and FEAST. VIII- Accessibility for persons with disabilities: The universities that hosted the CRPR in the past are accessible to people with disability, and people attending the CRPR can request accommodations to attend the CRPR including American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter, Communication Access Real-Time translation (CART) service, Accessible Reversed Seating, Materials in alternative format, and accessible parking space.
