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