Debates about embodied\, extended\, and distributed cognition now \;address not only metaphysical issues about the location and boundaries \;of the mind\, but also broader questions about culture and cognition\, \;agency\, and the self. These debates make points of contact with \;diverse philosophical traditions (including phenomenology\, pragmatism\, \;and moral psychology)\, with diverse social scientific fields (such as \;science studies\, cognitive ethnography\, and studies of interaction and \;material culture)\, as well as with cognitive\, social\, and \;developmental psychology\, and the cognitive neurosciences.
\n\nThe workshop is free to attend on both days including lunch and coffee\, but registration is required by 8th March for catering purposes. Please send your registration details - name and affiliation to Michael Kirchhoff: michael.kirchhoff@students.mq.edu.au The first day of the workshop is Wednesday 14th March\, the second day of the workshop is Friday 16th March\, with Thursday 15th as a day off in between.
