Eastern Study Group

North American Kant Society

General Information

The Eastern Study Group of the North American Kant Society was started in 2004 by Sharon Anderson-Gold. Our purpose is to promote the discussion of Kantian scholarship among faculty and students on the East Coast. We hold meetings annually, usually in the Spring, in which a handful of papers selected by a program committee are discussed in a friendly but rigorous atmosphere. We welcome thematic and historical contributions that show the relevance of Kantian thought in its manifold aspects. Our meetings are open to the public and feature an invited speaker. The best graduate paper receives a stipend of $100 and is eligible to the Markus Herz Award.
