Re: Summer Course “Problems of the Self (
http://www.summeruniversity.ceu.hu/self-2012 )” at Central European
University (CEU) in Budapest, Hungary, from June 25 to July 5, 2012
CEU's summer school invites applications from graduate students, junior
faculty, researchers and practitioners in universities and other
institutions from all over the world.
The course aims to present the state of the art in research on the self
from philosophy, psychology, cognitive neuroscience, sociology, and
cognitive anthropology. Themes revolve around the nature of the self, as
revealed through self-consciousness, body perception, action and joint
action, and its embedding in society and culture. Historical and
developmental perspectives provide other angles on the self. The course
presents a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary discussion on the
self from multiple perspectives. It is directed at advanced graduate
students, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty working in philosophy,
psychology, cognitive neuroscience and cognate
disciplines.

The Cognitive Science Network (CSN, at http://www.ssrn.com/csn/index.html),
a branch of the Social Science Research Network (SSRN, at http://ssrn.com),
invites researchers to post working papers, papers in preparation, published
papers, and abstracts of papers, conference presentations, and other
scholarly contributions. SSRN was ranked number one in the CISC Open Access
Repository Ranking in 2009 and has won several such awards since then. In
its 16th year of operation, SSRN has delivered over 37.4 million downloads
to date and grown to 371,800 documents and 175,602 authors. Its CiteReader
technology, developed with ITX Corp, has captured over 6 million references,
5.7 million footnotes, and close to 3.9 million citation links. Several
disciplinary organizations have established a principal affiliation with
SSRN. Most recently, the American Political Science Association, with
35,000 members, has selected SSRN as the repository for presentations
delivered at its annual meetings. The APSA is additionally posting its
library of papers from past meetings to SSRN. SSRN presently hosts large
meetings in finance and law, including the annual Conference on Empirical
Legal Studies (with about 400 participants). SSRN never takes copyright.
Registration is free. The network provides individual authors with
dedicated pages for their work, free. It is always free to upload papers to
CSN, to search for papers, and to download papers uploaded by authors.
Authors may publish their work elsewhere as they prefer and may remove their
papers at any time. Submissions are accepted in any language if the author
provides a translation into English of the title and abstract. CSN now
allows viewers to post comments on material they find on CSN. CSN has been
conceived as a service directed by cognitive scientists to provide rapid
dissemination of research in cognitive science and a stable, searchable
repository of research papers.
Dear Dr. Qwerty:
We are writing you to announce that BBS has just accepted an article for open peer commentary in BBS. The article was already reviewed, and we are now accepting commentary proposals. If you are interested in writing a commentary, you are welcome to submit a short proposal (see instructions below). No action is required if you aren't interested.
Please DO NOT submit a full commentary article unless you are formally invited---AFTER you submit a commentary *proposal*. We will review all commentary proposals and issue invitations around the end of February. Also, please be aware that we typically receive far more commentary proposals than we can accommodate with formal invitations. When choosing invitations, we balance over multiple factors, including the interest of the commentary itself, the commentator's expertise, whether the commentator's work has been discussed in the target article, and other considerations.
NOW PROCESSING COMMENTARY PROPOSALS ON:
Target Article: "Behavior genetics and post genomics"
Authors: Evan Charney
Deadline for Commentary Proposals: January 23, 2012
Abstract: The science of genetics is undergoing a paradigm shift. Recent discoveries, including the activity of retrotransposons, the extent of copy number variations, somatic and chromosomal mosaicism, and the nature of the epigenome as a regulator of DNA expressivity, are challenging a series of dogmas concerning the nature of the genome and the relationship between genotype and phenotype. DNA, once held to be the unchanging template of heredity, now appears subject to a good deal of environmental change; considered to be identical in all cells and tissues of the body, there is growing evidence that somatic mosaicism is the normal human condition; and treated as the sole biological agent of heritability, we now know that the epigenome, which regulates gene expressivity, can be inherited via the germline. These developments are particularly significant for behavior genetics for at least three reasons: First, these phenomena appear to be particularly prevalent in the
human brain, and likely are involved in much of human behavior; second, they have important implications for the validity of heritability and gene association studies, the methodologies that largely define the discipline of behavior genetics; and third, they appear to play a critical role in development during the perinatal period, and in enabling phenotypic plasticity in offspring in particular. I examine one of the central claims to emerge from the use of heritability studies in the behavioral sciences, the principle of "minimal shared maternal effects," in light of the growing awareness that the maternal perinatal environment is a critical venue for the exercise of adaptive phenotypic plasticity. This consideration has important implications for both developmental and evolutionary biology.

NOW PROCESSING COMMENTARY PROPOSALS ON:
Target Article: "Beyond prejudice: Are negative evaluations the problem and is getting us to like one another more the solution?"
Authors: John Dixon, Mark Levine, Steve Reicher, and Kevin Durrheim
Deadline for Commentary Proposals: January 9, 2012
Abstract: For most of the history of prejudice research, negativity has been treated as its emotional and cognitive signature, a conception that continues to dominate work on the topic. By this definition, prejudice occurs when we dislike or derogate members of other groups. Recent research, however, has highlighted the need for a more nuanced and 'inclusive' (Eagly 2004) perspective on the role of intergroup emotions and beliefs in sustaining discrimination. On the one hand, several independent lines of research have shown that unequal intergroup relations are often marked by attitudinal complexity, with positive responses such as affection and admiration mingling with negative responses such as contempt and resentment. Simple antipathy is the exception rather than the rule. On the other hand, there is mounting evidence that nurturing bonds of affection between the advantaged and the disadvantaged sometimes entrenches rather than disrupts wider patterns of discrimination.
Notably, prejudice reduction interventions may have ironic effects on the political attitudes of the historically disadvantaged, decreasing their perceptions of injustice and willingness to engage in collective action to transform social inequalities. These developments raise a number of important questions. Has the time come to challenge the assumption that negative evaluations are inevitably the cognitive and affective hallmarks of discrimination? Is the orthodox concept of prejudice in danger of side-tracking, if not obstructing, progress towards social justice in a fuller sense? What are the prospects for reconciling a prejudice reduction model of change, designed to get people to like one another more, with a collective action model of change, designed to ignite struggles to achieve intergroup equality?
Keywords: Prejudice; intergroup relations; social change
