At the recent 2014 Telos Conference in New York City, we sat down with Marcia Pally, Professor at NYU, and Ulrike Kistner, Professor at University of Pretoria in South Africa, to discuss the importance of Telos conferences to their work. Here’s what they had to say.

The Telos-Paul Piccone Institute has several important events in the works for 2014, including conferences and symposia in Melbourne, Australia, Beijing, China, L’Aquila, Italy, and Irvine, California. At the recent Telos Conference in New York City, David Pan, Executive Director of the Institute, outlined the themes for this year’s conference. As many regular Telos readers know, Telos Press maintains an active, ongoing, and global internship program. One of the key features of this program is our TELOSthreads blogging project, in which students with an academic background in politics, philosophy, or a related field produce short pieces of writing and research based on individual articles from the Telos archive. At the recent Telos Conference in New York City, Tim Luke, Telos Press’s Book Editor, and Matt Applegate, a former Telos Press intern, sat down to talk about the program. At this year’s Telos Conference in New York City, Telos Associate Editor Adrian Pabst outlined the theme of the upcoming Telos in Europe Conference, which will be held on September 5–8, in L’Aquila, Italy. This conference will focus on “The Idea of Europe,” and will offer speakers and attendees an opportunity to discuss Europe’s current crisis of identity. For complete details about the conference, as well as the full call for papers, please visit the conference page on the Telos Paul Piccone Institute website, located here. At the recent Telos Conference in New York City, Telos Editor Russell A. Berman discussed the themes of the upcoming issues of the journal. Telos 166 (Spring 2014), which is now available, is entitled “After Faith” and addresses the endurance of religion despite the movement toward secularization. Telos 167, coming this summer, takes the related question “Are We Post-Secular” as its theme, and brings together a variety of contributions from around the world. Telos Editorial Associate Jay Gupta recently spoke with C.S. Soong on Pacifica Radio’s Against the Grain, a show about politics, society, and ideas. Their conversation turned to ethics, objective vs. subjective truth, and the manner in which war is reported in the media. Listen the full interview at the Against the Grain website here. |
