Masterclass in the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice

17-19 May 2017
Brussels, Belgium

*Masterclass in the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice *
*with *
*Prof. Dr. José Ferreirós*
*May, 17-19*
*Vrije Universiteit Brussel*
*Brussels, Belgium*

The Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLWF) of the Vrije 
Universiteit Brussel (VUB) will host a Masterclass in the Philosophy of 
Mathematical Practice with Prof. Dr. José Ferreirós (Universidad de 
Sevilla, Spain) on May, 17-19. The Masterclass will be composed of three 
lectures based on Prof. Ferreirós? recent book entitled *Mathematical 
Knowledge and the Interplay of Practices*. The tentative titles for the 
three lectures are as follows:

*Lecture 1 (Wednesday, 17/5):* *On Truth and History in Mathematics*

*Lecture 2 (Thursday, 18/5):* *An Alternative Look at Representations in 
Set Theory*

*Lecture 3 (Friday, 19/5):* *Rethinking Structuralism: a Conceptualist 
Approach*

We intend the Masterclass to be a fully interactive event, with the 
twofold objective to understand in depth the materials presented in the 
lectures, but also to discuss current work by early career researchers 
(PhD students and Postdocs). The lectures by Prof. Ferreirós will take 
place in the mornings, and will be followed by afternoon sessions in which 
early career researchers in the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice are 
invited to present their work. The goal is to offer early career 
researchers an opportunity to discuss their ongoing work in a helpful and 
constructive environment.

*Call for Abstracts*

We invite early career researchers who would be interested to present 
their work to send us an abstract of at most 1 page by *April, 21st*. 
Please submit your abstract by sending it to the following email address: 
masterclass.pmp.bxl@gmail.com. The talks will be of a duration of around 
20 minutes (not including discussion). Notification of acceptance will be 
sent out by the end of April.

*Attendance Fees and Registration*

We ask people to register to the Masterclass by *May 5**th*, but there 
will be no attendance fees for the event, and attendance of the 
Masterclass is open to everyone interested. If you are planning to attend 
the Masterclass, please register by sending an email to: 
masterclass.pmp.bxl@gmail.com.

*Travel Grants*

The Centre for Logic and Philosophy of Science (CLWF) will be able to 
offer travel grants (covering travel to Brussels and accommodation during 
the Masterclass) to selected early career researchers. Special preference 
will be given to those researchers who do not have access to travel 
fundings. If you would like to apply for a travel grant, please submit a 
short letter of motivation explaining how your research relates to the 
themes of the Masterclass, your current access to travel fundings, and an 
estimate of your travel costs, to the following email address: 
masterclass.pmp.bxl@gmail.com. Notice that it is not mandatory to give a 
talk in order to be eligible to a travel grant. Notification of acceptance 
will be sent out by the end of April.

*Location*

The Masterclass will take place at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) on 
the Etterbeek campus, which is situated in Brussels, Belgium.

*Organizers*

The Masterclass is organized by Line Andersen (CLWF, VUB), Yacin Hamami 
(CLWF, VUB) and Colin Rittberg (CLWF, VUB).

*Contact Information *

For any question, please contact the organizers by sending an email to:

*Acknowledgements and Supports*

The Masterclass is supported by the Strategic Research Program entitled 
?Logic and Philosophy of Mathematical Practices? of the Vrije Universiteit 
Brussel (VUB), the Doctoral School of Human Sciences (DSh) of the VUB, and 
the Association for the Philosophy of Mathematical Practice (APMP).
