CALL FOR APPLICATIONS
Postgraduates are invited to apply for the first PLM Masterclass, to be held at the
Institut Jean Nicod, Paris, on December 10-11, 2012. The Masterclass will be led by
Professor Dan Sperber (IJN/CEU-Budapest).
PLM (Philosophy of Language and Mind) is a network of philosophical centres, institutes,
and departments in Europe. Besides Institut Jean-Nicod, the network includes Arché (St
Andrews), the Department of Philosophy of CEU (Budapest), CLLAM (Stockholm), CSMN (Oslo),
ILCLI (San Sebastian), ILLC (Amsterdam), the Institute of Philosophy (London), the
Institute of Philosophy II (Bochum), LOGOS (Barcelona), and NIP (Aberdeen). The purpose of
the network is to further philosophy of mind and language and to provide a platform for
cooperation between members, primarily in research, but also in research training.
This first PLM Masterclass will offer a dozen research students the opportunity to
present their work in a collaborative and friendly atmosphere under the supervision of a
leading academic in their field. The Masterclass will give every participant the chance to
exchange with the ‘master’ who will respond to the presentations. Pr. Dan Sperber will
also present some of his current research.
Following the Masterclass, an international conference in honour of Dan Sperber will be
held, with the participation of leading figures in the areas relevant to Sperber’s work:
philosophy, anthropology, psychology, and linguistics. Masterclass participants are
invited to attend the conference (Paris, December 12-15).
Participation in the Masterclass (and the conference) will be free of charge, however
students will have to support their own accommodation and living expenses.
If you would like to be considered for a place, please send a CV to
plm.masterclass(a)gmail.com, along with a brief (up to one page) description of your
research and how you hope to contribute to and benefit from the Masterclass. Priority will
be given to European students. The deadline for applying is October, 31st, 2012. Please
feel free to email requests for further information or to visit the PLM website at
http://langmind.eu/.
