About NESCP:

The New England Society for Continental Philosophy (NESCP) is a professional organization focused on supporting work in Continental philosophy and adjacent fields in the New England area. Continental philosophy describes a group of philosophical traditions focused on questions of subjectivity, experience, history, and culture. This includes sub-traditions like existentialism, hermeneutics, phenomenology, and poststructuralism. However, we understand Continental philosophy in the broadest sense possible, with specific interest in theories and traditions that have been overlooked within traditional Continental accounts. This includes Indigenous philosophy, queer and crip theory, critical philosophy of race, environmental philosophy, Black philosophy, Latin American existentialisms, and other associated traditions.
