Biennial UH Phil Homecoming Conferences

These events (held every other year) bring together former philosophy majors and MA students. They are a time when former students and current students can meet, when former students can see and catch up with their old friends from the program, and when former students can come say hi to their former professors and reminisce about their time at UH. The event builds, nourishes, and celebrates our UH Philosophy Community.

Our next Homecoming Conference is scheduled for Saturday, April 5th, 2025.

Our Keynote is Connie Rosati (UT Austin).
