Discursive Injustice and Social Criticism: Epistemology and Training for Deliberation
From Monday 8th to Friday 12th, July 2019, in Granada (Spain)
Carmen de la Victoria, University of Granada, Cuesta del Chapiz, 9, 18010 Granada, Map
From July 8th to 12th, 2019, in its second edition, FiloLab-International Summer School (FL-ISS) will offer PhD students and young doctors from different countries the opportunity to present their ongoing or recently completed research, obtained qualified comment, and be advised in regard to their postdoctoral projection.
The course is specially designed so that young researchers can present research linked to their doctoral thesis —recently completed or close to completion— or articles in progress to senior peers and academics in the field of argumentation, epistemology, applied ethics and deliberation, for comment and discussion.
The process will involve tutorials by renowned professors from the Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as academic exchange with peers with common research interests. The aim is to generate opportunities for collaboration between junior and senior researchers from different disciplines related to philosophy.
In addition, there will be specific orientation about strategies for publication and dissemination of research. The School expects the attendace of editors of several journals and publishing houses, such as Theoria, Dilemata, Daimon, Isegoría, Springer, Plaza y Valdés and Comares.
Teaching methodology
The course will last four days, with two sessions concentrated in the mornings and one in the afternoon, leaving the evenings free to be dedicated to informal academic and leisure activities. Besides these four days, Wednesday will be reserved as a free day for a joint cultural activity in Granada.
Each session will last 1 hour and 30 minutes, with a maximum 45-minute presentation followed by a 45-minute commentary and discussion. Presentations will be grouped according to their thematic and methodological affinity. Researchers will present their ongoing doctoral research or their postdoctoral projects. Then, guest professors will comment on the presentation and moderate the session, with the participation of professors from the FiloLab-UGR Unit of Excellence, as well as the rest of the audience.
The presence of long sessions and breaks aims to reproduce some of the elements best valued by those attending the 2018 edition. Furthermore, it will generate spaces to discuss more informally with guest scholars, touching upon issues such as professional academic career, funding strategies, dissemination of research results and collaboration opportunities.

Who can attend
The course is aimed at young researchers from all the fields of the Humanities and Social Sciences, but also to those who, despite not belonging to these fields, have focused their research on areas of knowledge relevant to public affairs, such as applied ethics, social economy or public policies.
FiloLab International Summer School (FL-ISS) has an interdisciplinary and inclusive approach. Proposals about conceptual and foundational issues, as well as those with an emphasis on methodological or applied approaches will be welcomed, but other topics will also be considered if a thematic or methodological compatibility is demonstrated. We will welcome proposals from areas such as philosophy of science, studies in science and technology, philosophy of mind and psychology, logic and philosophy of language, argumentation theory, moral and political philosophy, or applied ethics.
We will also welcome the registration of those who wish to attend the sessions and participate in the debates without presenting any proposal.
This is a sample of possible theoretical, methodological and applied topics to be considered:
- Knowledge and opinion: objectivity, pluralism and relativism
- Truth and justification: truth and consequences; truth, ethics and politics; truth and post-truth
