Northern New England Philosophical Association (NNEPA)
The Northern New England Philosophical Association was founded in 1972 by a group of philosophers from several northern New England institutions of higher learning for the purpose of promoting the study of philosophy and the exchange of philosophical ideas. The organization meets annually, usually on a Friday-Saturday in the second half of October. Institutions that have hosted the annual conferences more recently are:
| • Keene State College (1990 and 2003) • UNH (1992, 2000, and 2009) • Colby College (1991 and 2008) • Plymouth State College (1993 and 2002) • Rivier College (1995 and 2005) • Dartmouth College (1994 and 2004) • Norwich University (1996) • Bowdoin College (1997) |
• UVM (1998) • Saint Anselm College (1999 and 2010) • Clark University (2001) • Bates College (2006) • U Mass at Dartmouth (2007) • St. Michael’s College (1988 and 2011) • U Mass Lowell (2012) |
A highlight of each NNEPA conference is the Friday evening keynote address, with past conferences featuring very distinguished keynote speakers, including Robert M. Adams, Annette Baier, Jonathan Bennett, Ned Block, Robert Brandom, Noam Chomsky, Hubert Dreyfus, Bernard Gert, Peter Godfrey-Smith, Terence Irwin, Patricia Kitcher, Christine Korsgaard, Alasdair MacIntyre, Joseph Margolis, John McDowell, Martha Nussbaum, Hillary Putnam, W. V. O. Quine, Charlotte Witt, Robert Paul Wolf.
