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