The relationships between knowledge and power, the doctrinal foundations of faith, the empiricism of modern science, the convergence of different knowledge systems and, what and how one knows have been sources of perennial contention. By investigating competing frames of knowledge and their interface, this conference aims to bring to light—among other issues—how competing epistemologies generate claims of truth and interact in the context of social negotiation. Given the interdisciplinary platform of this conference, candidates are also encouraged to consider how their work can be situated within a wider academic discourse. With this in mind, the graduate students of the University of Washington welcome papers on “Faith, Knowledge and the Interface of Epistemologies” from all disciplines.
