Join Us This Summer!

Join us for the SMAP Summer Institute 2025, a special gathering celebrating ten years of Encuentros and engagement in Mexican American philosophy. Hosted by the Society for Mexican American Philosophy (SMAP), this three-day event provides a dynamic space for scholars, students, and community members to explore philosophical issues central to the Mexican American and Latin American experience.

The Summer Institute will feature keynote speaker Dr. David Carrasco, who will deliver a talk titled “Waiting for the Dawn: Finding Aztlán in the Mirror of Philosophy.”

Along with his keynote, the event will include panel discussions, paper presentations, and interactive workshops exploring themes of social justice, identity, citizenship, and indigenous philosophies. This year’s institute will also highlight contemporary research on Mexican philosophy and its intersections with broader philosophical traditions.
