Here is a call for papers on the philosophy of death and dying. It is very reminiscent (too reminiscent, I think) to this conference. I will repeat the comments I made about a month ago when I read of the latter conference:
I am somewhat struck by the lack of reference to war and soldiers. Soldiers are people who spend an inordinate amount of time 1) learning how to take lives and 2) learning how to prevent their own deaths. You would think, and you would be right, that much philosophical ink has been spilled on this. Their philosophical reflections should be reflected in the canon too.
