McCall Presents at Three Summer Conferences
Elmira, NY (07/25/2019) — Dr. Corey McCall, associate professor of philosophy, presented his work at three national and international conferences this summer.
He organized a session on behalf of the Caribbean Philosophical Association for the Diverse Lineages of Existentialism Conference at George Washington University in Washington, DC on June 1-3. The topic for his organized panel was "Herman Melville and Questions of Race." McCall's paper was entitled "Melville's Melancholy Blackness," which looked at the role of race and melancholy in Melville's seventh novel Pierre.
Next, he presented on a panel devoted to essays in the forthcoming edited volume Creolizing Frankenstein at the Caribbean Philosophical Association held at Brown University from June 3-5. McCall presented an edited version of the essay he co-authored with Borna Radnik, a Ph.D. student in Philosophy at Kingston University in the United Kingdom.
Finally, McCall gave a plenary talk entitled "Writing Loss: Emerson, Du Bois, and the Idea of America" at the Summer Institute in American Philosophy at the University of Dayton from July 8-13. This essay examines the experience of loss in Emerson and Du Bois to argue for the importance of an acknowledgement of shared loss for a truly democratic polity.
