*********************************************

The Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) is organizing the 2nd 
Summer School on Mathematical Philosophy for Female Students, which will 
be held from July 26 to August 1, 2015 in Munich, Germany. The summer 
school is open to excellent female students who wish to specialize in 
mathematical philosophy.

Since women are significantly underrepresented in philosophy generally and 
in formal philosophy in particular, this summer school aims to encourage 
women to engage with mathematical methods and apply them to philosophical 
problems. The summer school will provide an infrastructure for developing 
expertise in some of the main formal approaches used in mathematical 
philosophy, including formal epistemology, simulation techniques, the 
semantics-pragmatics interface. Furthermore, it offers study in an 
informal setting, lively debate, and a chance to strengthen mathematical 
self-confidence and independence for female students. Finally, being 
located at the MCMP, the summer school will also provide a stimulating and 
interdisciplinary environment for meeting like-minded philosophers.

LECTURERS: Catrin Campbell-Moore (MCMP), Carla Fehr (University of 
Waterloo), Stephan Hartmann (MCMP), Hannes Leitgeb (MCMP), Sebastian Lutz 
(MCMP), Gil Sagi (MCMP), Julia Staffel (Washington University, St. Louis), 
Florian Steinberger (MCMP), Isidora Stojanovic (CNRS and Jean Nicod 
Institute, Paris), Kevin Zollman (Carnegie Mellon University).


ORGANIZERS: Catherine Herfeld, Milena Ivanova, Kristina Liefke
