 | From September 10th to 14th, 2018, FiloLab-International Summer School (FL-ISS) will offer PhD students and young doctors from several countries the opportunity to present their ongoing research, get qualified comment, and be assessed on their postdoctoral projection. The course is specially designed so that young researchers can present their research linked to the doctoral thesis — recently completed or close to completion —, or articles in progress, to senior peers and academics in the field of argumentation, epistemology and applied ethics, for comment and discussion. The process will involve tutorials by renowned professors from Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as academical exchanges with peers who share research interests. This Summer School will promote dialogue and collaboration among researchers in various fields, in an international and interdisciplinary spirit. In addition, there will be specific assessments about strategies for publication and diffusion of doctoral research. The school will count with the presence of editors of several journals and publishing houses, such as Theoria, Dilemata, Daimon, Isegoría, Plaza y Valdés and Comares. |
Guest professors
Isidora Stojanovic (Jean Nicod, CNRS, Paris, France)
Stuart Youngner (Case Western Reserve University, USA)
Jan Albert van Laar (Groningen University, the Netherlands)
Teaching Methodology
The course will take four days, with sessions concentrated mostly in the morning, so that evenings may be dedicated to social activities, such as a visit to La Alhambra and guided visits to Granada.
Sessions will last 30’, followed by a 30’ commentary. They will be clustered according to thematic and methodological affinity. First, researchers will present their doctoral work in progress or their postdoc projects. Then, guest professors, professors from FiloLab-UGR Excellence Unit, as well the rest of the audience will provide feedback. Every session will have a chairperson to manage times and facilitate discussion.
In the afternoons, there will be 2 hour sessions for informal discussion with guest scholars. Topics to be treated include professional career, funding strategies, and collaboration opportunities.
Who Can Attend
The course is aimed at young researchers and researchers from all fields of the Humanities and Social Sciences, but also to those who, not belonging to these fields, have focused their research on areas of knowledge relevant to public affairs, such as applied ethics, the social economy, or public policies.
FiloLab International Summer School has an interdisciplinary and inclusive orientation. Proposals about conceptual and foundational issues, as well as those with an emphasis on methodological or applied approaches will also be welcomed, but other topics will also be considered if there is a thematic or methodological compatibility.
We will welcome proposals from areas such as philosophy of science, studies in science and technology, philosophy of mind and psychology, logic and philosophy of language, theory of argumentation, moral and political philosophy, or applied ethics.
This is a sample of possible issues to be considered:
- Knowledge and opinion: Objectivity, pluralism, and relativism.
- Truth and justification: truth and consequences; truth, ethics, and politics; truth and post-truth
- Disagreements: epistemic and normative disagreements; laypersons and experts; facts and values
- Argumentation: emotions and reasoning; validity in judgments and appraisals; requirements of reasoning; biases in problem formulations and analyses
- Epistemic and discursive injustice
- Language, gender, and philosophy
- Cognitive biases
