Join us for our upcoming special VNAKS session on Kant and Russia. This is a special supplement to the Virtual Kant Congress sessions that we've been co-hosting all year to celebrate Kant's 300th birthday.  This session is hosted NAKS alone, without the support of VKC, but in an effort to retain scholarly engagement with our colleagues in Russia.  (One of the talks is explicitly about the way that Kant's philosophy has been used in recent Russian political discourse, and so it is a sensitive topic.)  Please find details below. 

We will send around a reminder with the zoom link a few days before the event.
