CPA Summer School

For the CPA, philosophy is conceived not as an isolated academic discipline, but as rigorous theoretical reflection about fundamental problems faced by humanity.

Caribbean Philosophical Association Summer School

The CPA summer school is a generous and intellectually rigorous environment that understands Caribbean philosophy as a transdisciplinary form of interrogation informed by scholarly knowledges as well as by practices and artistic expressions that elucidate fundamental questions that emerge in contexts of discovery, conquest, racial, gender, and sexual domination, genocide, dependency, and exploitation as well as freedom, emancipation, and decolonization.

The CPA invites theoretical engagements with all such questions, thematic areas, and genres from any given discipline or field, with a common interest in “shifting the geography of reason,” by which we mean approaching the Caribbean and the Global South in general as zones of sustainable practices and knowledges.

Our next CPA Summer School will be in 2027 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Stay tuned for more information!
