keynote address by
Dr. Stevan Harnad
UQAM
Dr. Stevan Harnad is a Hungarian-born cognitive scientist. He did his undergraduate work
at McGill University and his graduate work at Princeton University, where he studied with
Julian Jaynes. He is currently Canada Research Chair in Cognitive Science at Université
du Québec Montréal (UQAM) and Professor of Cognitive Science at the University of
Southampton. He is also an External Member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. His
research is on categorization, communication, cognition, and consciousness.
Dr. Harnad was the founder and editor (1978-2003) of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, a
journal published by Cambridge University Press, Psycoloquy, an electronic journal
sponsored by the American Psychological Association, and CogPrints, an electronic preprint
archive in the cognitive sciences hosted by University of Southampton. He was also the
founder and moderator of the American Scientist Open Access Forum (since 1998)
This conference was created as part of the Julian Jaynes Memorial Endowment at the
University of Prince Edward Island. This fund was established to create a lasting tribute
to the late Princeton professor and author, and long-time PEI resident, and to fulfill his
legacy to support and encourage the study of consciousness.
In keeping with the inter- and transdisciplinary spirit of Jaynes, papers addressing
consciousness from any number of disciplines and perspectives are welcomed; these would
include: psychology, philosophy, history of science, neuroscience, phenomenology,
cognitive science, computer science, feminist studies, sociology, and anthropology.
All submissions should be 500-750 word abstracts. Symposia of 3-5 papers are welcome.
Deadline for abstracts is April 1. Email submissions are accepted.
All questions and submissions should be directed to:
