Conference details
We are pleased to host an independent in-person meeting at Dalhousie University in Halifax, 6-9 June 2026.
Following strong support from CPA members for an in-person gathering, we have organized this independent meeting in collaboration with the Dalhousie Philosophy Department.
This independent meeting allows us to continue our tradition of bringing together philosophers from across Canada and beyond.
Partner Organizations
We are excited to be joined by three other FHSS member organizations, creating opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration:
- CSHPS (Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Science) - 4-6 June
- CSHPM (Canadian Society for the History and Philosophy of Mathematics) - 4-6 June
- CSSPE (Canadian Society for the Study of Practical Ethics) - 7-9 June
The overlapping schedules will enable jointly organized sessions and provide many of the collaborative benefits traditionally associated with Congress meetings.
Updates and Information
Conference details, including the Call for Papers and Abstracts, will be available in September. Please check our website at https://www.acpcpa.ca/ for the latest updates and announcements.
We look forward to welcoming philosophers and scholars to Halifax for what promises to be an engaging and productive meeting.
