19 - 20 June 2024, C-FORS Graduate Conference: Constructional Approaches in the Foundations of Mathematics and Philosophy, Oslo, Norway
The advanced ERC project "C-FORS: Construction in the Formal Sciences" led by Professor Øystein Linnebo (University of Oslo) is glad to announce its first graduate conference. The topic is constructional approaches to foundations of mathematics and philosophy. The aim of the conference is to bring together graduate students working in the Philosophy of Mathematics and Logic, in Metaphysics and in Ontology and that are interested in (or critical of) constructional (i.e., iterative or hierarchical) accounts in these disciplines.
Beside the current members of C-FORS, the discussion shall be guided by the two invited keynotes, Joel David Hamkins (Notre Dame) and Jon Erling Litland (UT Austin), who are both leading experts on topics relevant to the main theme of the conference. In addition, the conference involves the assignment of a commentator to lead the discussion on the contributed talk by each participant. Comments will be provided by three scholars that are also experts in their fields, namely Deborah Kant (Hamburg), Sam Roberts (Konstanz) and Chris Scambler (Oxford).
Graduate students and early-career researchers (within one year from completion of their PhD) are invited to *submit abstracts (up to 1500 words) on the subject of the conference and prepared for blind review*. We particularly *encourage submissions from underrepresented groups*. The proposals should be suitable for a 35-40 minute presentation. The conference is intended to be in-person.
