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

For this workshop we seek theoretical and empirically-informed papers \;which fill out or broaden the conceptual tools available for \;understanding the nature and mechanisms of distributed or embodied \;cognition. We particularly welcome proposals which address the \;integration of environmental resources (social and cultural as well as \;material and technological) into cognitive practices. Papers can \;either contribute to mainstream debates about cognitive integration\, \;complementarity\, and 2nd-wave extended mind\, or apply these concepts \;to specific domains and topics\, such as (but not limited to) narrative \;and self\, agency\, embodiment and skilled movement\, language and \;gesture\, communication and interaction\, memory\, collective \;intentionality\, performance\, and cognitive niche construction.

Abstracts of proposed papers\, of between 250 and 500 words\, should be \;sent to Michael Kirchhoff at \;michael.kirchhoff@students.mq.edu.au \;by \;Friday 10th February. \;Decisions on acceptance/ rejection will be communicated by 17th February.

We anticipate scheduling longer and shorter paper sessions. In \;submitting your abstract\, please indicate which one you would prefer \;if accepted\, or if either option is fine. \;Graduate students are encouraged to submit.

There will be no registration fee for attending the conference\, but \;advance registration will be required. Full details to follow.
