CALL FOR PAPERS «Science, Knowledge, and Democracy». TRiP 2011 - Three Rivers Philosophy Conference University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC April 1st - April 3rd, 2011 www.cas.sc.edu/phil/flyers/trip2011.pdf

Keynote Speakers:
Elizabeth Anderson (University of Michigan), Miranda Fricker (Birkbeck, University of London), Henry Richardson (Georgetown University), Miriam Solomon (Temple University)

The goal of this conference is to bring together scholars working in moral and political philosophy, social epistemology, philosophy of science, and related areas to reflect broadly on the relationships between science, knowledge, and democracy. We aim to explore questions such as the following. In what ways should we be seeking to foster democratic influences on science, and why? Can we unpack the concept of objectivity (whether in the scientific or the political domain) more fruitfully by shifting from an individual to a social level of analysis? What is the nature of «lay expertise» and what are its implications for pursuing public participation in scientific research and policy making? Do various forms of «epistemic injustice» detract from scientific knowledge or political decision making? What are the implications of political theory for thinking about how to democratize science and to integrate scientific knowledge into policy making? Does governmental involvement in and funding of scientific research pose special challenges to traditional epistemic and moral justifications for democracy?

We invite abstracts of roughly 500 words for papers on these or related topics. Please submit abstracts by November 1st, 2010 to TRiPconference@gmail.com. Abstracts should be PDF or Word documents and prepared for blind review. We aim to notify the authors of accepted papers by early December, 2010.

The Three Rivers Philosophy (TRiP) Conference takes its name from the University of South Carolina's location in Columbia, the state capital, where the Saluda and Broad Rivers meet to form the Congaree River. April is a beautiful time to be in South Carolina, so come and enjoy both our wonderful weather and what promises to be a very fruitful intellectual exchange. If you have any questions about the conference, please contact one of the organizers: Kevin Elliott
(ke@sc.edu) or Justin Weinberg (jweinberg@sc.edu).

Conference Dates: April 1st - April 3rd, 2011. Abstract Submission Due Date: November 1st, 2010 to TRiPconference@gmail.com Notification of Acceptance: Early December, 2010. PDF of CFP Flyer: www.cas.sc.edu/phil/flyers/trip2011.pdf<UrlBlockedError.aspx>

Submissions of abstracts of papers of approximately 30 minutes reading length will be considered for the program.
Proposals for papers should include:
• Title and abstract of the paper. In order to enable the program committee to make more informed decisions, we request abstracts in the order of 1000 words. (If you are aware of other submitters whose work might well be grouped with yours in a symposium session, please alert us to that fact.)
• Address of the participant, including e-mail, phone, and institution

The deadline for submission of abstracts for &HPS3 is January 31, 2010. Decisions will be announced in March 2010. Please direct your submissions to http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=&HPS3

&HPS1 was hosted in October 2007 by the Center for Philosophy of Science, University of Pittsburgh. &HPS2 was hosted in March 2009 by the History and Philosophy of Science Graduate Program at University of Notre Dame.

Nous vous remercions par avance de tous les commentaires et suggestions que vous pourrez faire à propos de ce site, dont plusieurs sections sont encore en construction, mais qui sera complété au fur et à mesure que nous disposerons des informations pertinentes. Il n'est pas nécessaire d'insister sur l'importance d'un tel événement, et l'opportunité que représente pour chacun son organisation, pour la première fois, en France. Nous espérons ainsi que l'ensemble de la communauté scientifique, dans les domaines concernés et au-delà, saura se joindre à l'effort que suppose l'organisation de ce Congrès et aider à en assurer le succès. La qualité, reconnue internationalement, de la recherche française a constitué un élément-clé pour le dossier de candidature accepté à Pékin en 2007. Nous comptons que ce Congrès sera d'une qualité qui fera honneur en retour à notre communauté.

(4 - 5 December 2009) - (Dis)Entangling Darwin: Cross-Disciplinary Reflections on the Man and his Legacy, University of Porto, Portugal.

CALL FOR PAPERS

2009 marks the bicentenary of Charles Darwin's birth (12 February 1809) and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his groundbreaking On the Origin of Species (24 November 1859).
The University of Porto CETAPS (Centre for English, Translation and Anglo-Portuguese Studies) is holding a special conference to honor Charles Darwin's enduring legacy, and examine how his ideas remain central to contemporary research, within and beyond the biological sciences, echoing the global celebrations of his life and work, and his impact across the disciplines.
Keynote Speakers:
David Amigoni (Keele University, UK) http://www.keele.ac.uk/depts/en/staff/d_amigoni.html

John Van Wyhe (Cambridge University, UK) http://darwin-online.org.uk/people/van_wyhe.html

Special Guest Speakers:
Ana Leonor Pereira - Historian. History and Sociology of Science and Culture/Specialist in the History of Darwinism in Portugal (UC).
Filipe Furtado - Specialist in English Cultural Studies and in Victorian politics, aesthetics, philosophy and scientific thought. Author of various articles on Darwin and Darwinism. (FCSH-UNL).
João Cabral - Historian and Botanist. Specialist in Darwin's contributions to nineteenth-century botanical studies (FCUP).
Jorge Vieira - Biologist/Molecular Evolution/IBMC (Institute for Molecular and Cell Biology).
Maria Teresa Malafaia - Specialist in English/Victorian Studies/Social Darwinism (UL).
Nuno Ferrand - Biologist. CIBIO coordinator (Research Center in Biodiversity and Genetic Resources - UP).
Octávio Mateus - Biologist and Paleontologist (specialist in Dinosaurs. FCT-UNL/Museum of Lourinhã).
The conference title draws inspiration from the notable conclusion of Darwin's On the Origin of Species. In it he writes:
It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us [...] There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.
Darwin's descriptions rely on the formulation of incredibly complex and visual pictures, often portrayed in a series of "imaginary illustrations" which combine colorful arrangements of both facts and suppositions. The reader is constantly involved in a visual perceptual chaos of entanglements and webbed relationships, performances and theatricalities, exhibiting the way in which the human, animal and natural worlds are mutually imbricated. This conference wishes to contribute to the ongoing disentanglement of Darwin's legacy, which remains as controversial to twenty-first century critics as it was to Darwin's contemporaries. There are still many missing links and inherent contradictions that continue to attract growing, interdisciplinary attention from a wide range of specialisms. All in all, the re-drawing of physical and psychological frontiers demanded by evolutionary theory in an attempt to define what is meant by human nature is still very much in progress, validating at the same time extraordinary opportunities for further research.
We welcome 20-minute papers in English dealing with all aspects of Darwin's legacy, from science to literature and the social sciences, the visual arts, religion, philosophy, politics and cultural relations.
Please include the following information with your proposal: the full title of your paper; a 250-300 word abstract; your name, postal address and e-mail address; your institutional affiliation and position; any audiovisual requirements you may have.
The deadline for proposals is 15 October 2009. Participants will be notified of acceptance no later than 31 October 2009.
Inquiries and proposals should be sent to the following e-mail: saragsilva@hotmail.com
Conference fee: 60,00 euros (includes coffee breaks and Friday lunch). Attendance is free for UP students.
OPTIONAL - Conference Dinner (Friday): 20 euros
