Application<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two modalities of applications. A general modality for students who just wish to attend the school, and a different modality for students also willing to present their own work during the school. Every accepted student will have their eating expenses during the Summer School covered. Students whose presentations are selected will also have their accommodation covered.<\/p>\n

For both of them, a letter of interest and a CV should be sent to filolab@ugr.es.<\/p>\n

For the second modality, a 2000 words proposal with a detailed summary of the thesis or a long abstract of the article that you wished to present during the Summer School should also be included in the email.<\/p>\n

Polarization and Social Change<\/h1>\n

June 21 - 24, 2022.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Presentation<\/h3>\n
\n\t

The APPLY-FILOLAB International Doctoral Summer School will be held at the Carmen de la Victoria (University of Granada - Granada, Spain).<\/p>\n

The summer school will be a 4-day event, and will comprise, amongst other activities, invited talks by Anna Bosco (University of Firenze), Michael Lynch (University of Connecticut), Lilliana Mason (John Hopkins University), and Jason Stanley (Yale University). Participants are encouraged to discuss their own work with the guests and mentors of the School. Thus, applicants to this summer school will be asked to send a brief summary of the material they would like to present during these days. Ideally, this would comprise a synthesis of the doctoral project they are developing, or a particular paper they want to obtain feedback on. The organizing committee will select \u2013in case the number of proposals exceed that of slots\u2013 amongst those proposals the ones that seem more suited for the goals of the Summer School. The presentations will be selected by their quality and their proximity to the topics of the lectures. Of course, participants might decide not to present their own work, and instead simply attend the sessions and take part in the discussions. Every accepted student will have their eating expenses during the Summer School covered. Students whose presentations are selected will also have their accommodation covered. The enrolled students, a maximum of 25, will be divided in groups of 3, under the supervision of an APPLY member, in order to work on a brief draft for a paper that will be presented the final evening of the school. The school will finish with brief presentations of the drafts prepared by the groups of students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

Topic<\/h3>\n
\n\t

The organizing committee has decided to focus on polarization and social change. Political polarization, the process through which a group\u2019s opinion with respect to a given political issue sets apart from a normal distribution, to form two or more groups with different levels of extremism, has been studied from several sub-disciplines within the past few years. The phenomenon has been approached from a political and social perspective, but some attention has also been paid to the epistemological problems motivated by polarization, as well as some of the linguistic factors involved. Moral and political philosophy, but also epistemology and the philosophy of language, have thus produced key results related to the topic of polarization. Together, they allow us to better understand the phenomenon, and to complement the strategies of detection and depolarization that have been independently developed.<\/p>\n

The first studies on polarization come from the realm of sociology and social psychology. These studies focus on how more balanced components of a group tend to adopt riskier attitudes after a conversation with people who are more prone to take risks. The development of these initial studies has been supplemented not only by the aforementioned philosophical contributions, but also by research coming from political science. It is, therefore, a topic that it is simply impossible to tackle without adopting a multidisciplinary approach. This feature of the research on polarization is reflected on the composition of the different teams, and research projects, that support this application. We might be able to find moral and political philosophers, epistemologists, researchers working on the philosophy of language, but also sociologists, and political scientists.<\/p>\n

For four days, PhD students will have the chance to meet researchers whose work on polarization is widely known and discussed. Student will not only be able to discuss some of the more recent findings within this area of research, they will also present their own research, and thus receive comments from the invited researchers. The ultimate goal of this summer school is to provide doctoral students with direct access to highly recognized researchers whose work is linked, in one way or another, to the topic of polarization.<\/p>\n
