At the heart of the conference will be this question: What does it mean to Return to the Real? This is not a call for pessimism, but a call for a return to a moral imagination, one not given to idyllic dreaming, but vibrant engagement with real places, real people, and ideas of the real. Hope, not idyllic dreaming, is the virtue that will animate the participants’ papers.
