The AAP Conference 2007, hosted by the Discipline of Philosophy UNE, was held from 1-6 July at the Old Teacher’s College (C.B Newling Centre) Armidale.

Streams in the following areas were presented: Applied Ethics (16), Asian Philosophy (7), Kierkegaard (5), Philosophical Psychology (24), Philosophy and Religion (5), Philosophy of Probability (7), Reason and Value (20), Truth and Beauty (13), Women in Philosophy (1), Logic (6), Metaphysics (15), and “Other” papers (18). In addition, there were two Graduate Career workshop sessions and two Status of Women in Philosophy sessions. We also included an afternoon Theatre Piece which examined the many faces of God in her workplace.
