MWPMW 11: Midwest PhilMath Workshop

23-24 Oct 2010
Notre Dame IN, U.S.A.

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

This is an invitation to the eleventh annual Midwest PhilMath Workshop 
(MWPMW 11), to be held at Notre Dame the weekend of Saturday, October 23rd 
and Sunday, October 24th. As usual, the plan is to schedule a full day of 
talks and discussions for Saturday and a half day for Sunday. Also as 
usual, there will be a workshop dinner Saturday evening, with all 
participants invited to attend as guests of the university.

In a few weeks, a website for the workshop will be up, and you'll be able 
to keep up with developments there. You can get to it by following the 
obvious links on the Philosophy Department's web page 
(http://www.nd.edu/~ndphilo/ ). In due course, the location of the 
sessions, the schedule of talks and abstracts for them will also be posted 
there.

If you would like to give a talk, email a pdf of your talk or substantial 
summary to Paddy (blanchette.1@nd.edu), Tim (bays. 5@nd.edu), Curtis 
(cfranks@nd.edu) and me (mdetlef1@nd.edu). We would like to have all 
proposals for talks by September 1st so that we can set the program by 
September 10th. Talks should be 35--40 minutes, with 15--20 minutes left 
for discussion.

We're fortunate to have Mrs. Harriet Baldwin (baldwin.1@nd.edu) as the 
workshop manager once again this year. Please contact her with any 
questions you may have concerning rooms, meals, etc.. She has booked a 
block of rooms for the workshop. Since there are other conferences going 
on the same weekend, demand for rooms may be high and it would thus be a 
good idea to reserve a room with Harriet as soon as possible. Please also 
indicate to her whether you will be joining us for dinner Saturday 
evening, and let her know if you have any special dietary requirements. 
She can also point you to pertinent travel information, maps, etc..

Finally, I'd ask that you share this announcement with others you know who 
might be interested, including both students and faculty. We are fortunate 
once again to have limited funds to help defray expenses for student 
participants coming from out of town whose departments do not have funds 
to cover their costs. These funds will generally take the form of 
subventions for lodging. If you are interested in applying for a 
subvention, please notify Mrs. Baldwin of that fact as soon as you can. 
Please also have an appropriate faculty member from your department email 
me to confirm that it cannot meet your expenses.

That's it for now. I hope you're having a good spring, and I look forward 
to seeing you at MWPMW 11 in October. I'll be contacting you further as 
things proceed.

Cordially,

Mic Detlefsen
Director, MWPMW 11
