Dear Friends:
We're writing to let you know about a 4-week National
Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) summer institute
on Presupposition and Perception: Reasoning, Ethics, Politics, and
Aesthetics, to be held at Cornell University in lovely Ithaca, NY
from June 26-July 21st, 2016.
The goal of the institute is to investigate the many modes of
influences on perception by what subjects antecedently
believe, expect, fear, know, or want, and their implications
for several areas of philosophy. There is space for 25 full time
participants, each of whom will receive a stipend from the NEH sufficient
to pay for housing and living costs. There are also 16 visiting faculty,
listed below.
You can find more information about the institute here:

The institute is designed primarily for faculty (including adjunct faculty)
in Philosophy and related fields. There are also 3 slots for graduate students.
Applications are due March 1st.
Please feel free to forward this announcement or the attached
PDF flyer to anyone who you think might be interested in applying.
Any questions can be addressed to: <neh.perception@gmail.com>,
or to the co-directors, myself (Susanna Siegel) and Nico Silins.
