Emotions and Judgment: Argumentation, Biases and Public Affairs
From Monday 10th to Friday 14th, September 2018
Carmen de la Victoria, University of Granada, Cuesta del Chapiz, 9, 18010 Granada, Map
From September 10th to 14th, 2018, FiloLab-International Summer School (FL-ISS) will offer PhD students and young doctors from several countries the opportunity to present their ongoing or recently completed research, obtain 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 fields of argumentation, epistemology and applied ethics, 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 the results of doctoral 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 sessions concentrated mostly in the morning, so that the evenings may be dedicated to informal academic and social activities, such as a visit to the Alhambra and guided tours in Granada.
Sessions will last 30 minutes, followed by a 30-minute commentary. They will be grouped according to thematic and methodological affinity. First, researchers will present their ongoing doctoral research or their postdoctoral projects. Then, guest professors, professors from the FiloLab-UGR Unit of Excellence, as well the rest of the audience will provide feedback.
Every session will have a person managing the times and facilitating discussion. In the afternoons, there will be two-hour sessions for informal discussion with guest scholars. Topics to be touched upon will include 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.
