Call for submissions: Bilateralism and Proof-Theoretic Semantics, Ruhr University Bochum, March 17-18, 2022 The topic of bilateralism - situated in the area of proof-theoretic semantics - has received considerable attention in the area of philosophical logic within the past years. According to proof-theoretic semantics the meaning of the logical connectives is determined by the rules of inference governing their use in proofs. In this context bilateralism demands an equal consideration of dual concepts like truth and falsity, assertion and denial, or proof and refutation in that they should both be taken as primitive concepts, i.e. not reducible to each other. This conference aims at sharing and discussing the latest research in this area by bringing together both highly distinguished as well as early career researchers. Invited Speakers: Nils Kürbis (University of Lódz & Ruhr University Bochum) Greg Restall (University of St. Andrews) David Ripley (Monash University) Luca Tranchini (University of Tübingen) Peter Verdée (UCLouvain) Heinrich Wansing (Ruhr University Bochum) Abstract submission: Next to the presentations of the invited speakers the conference is supposed to give a number of early career researchers the opportunity to present their work in this area. Session times will be 40 min., divided into 30 min. for the presentation followed by 10 min. of discussion. Therefore, PhD students and early Post-Docs are invited to submit an extended abstract on their research. To submit, send an anonymized abstract of 800-1000 words (excluding references) to bilateralismpts2022@gmail.com. Members of groups that are underrepresented in logic are especially encouraged to submit. The deadline for abstract submission is November 28, 2021. The notification of acceptance will be sent by January 16, 2022. A special issue of Bulletin of the Section of Logic on the topic of the conference is planned in which full versions of selected papers will be published after an open call for papers. Organization and contact: Sara Ayhan (Ruhr University Bochum) For any questions or inquiries please send a mail to: sara.ayhan@rub.de The conference is currently planned to be held - as far as possible - as an in-person event. However, due to the pandemic it is not impossible that it must be changed to a hybrid or completely online format.
