Since its inception as a model of mental representation, interactivism has developed into a broad theoretical framework for understanding whole persons and their complex socio-cultural ontology. The present conference is a celebration of the work of interactivism's creator and main advocate – Mark Bickhard.

The conference will involve three panels dedicated to three areas of major interest to interactivist theory – normativity, representation, and language. It will also feature traditional talks by researchers working within or in close relation to the interactivist framework.

Panel speakers (including Mark Bickhard in each one): · Normativity (Terrence Deacon, Tom Froese, Alvaro Moreno) · Representation (Dan Hutto, Ruth Millikan, Marcin Miłkowski) · Language (Ruth Kempson and Eleni Gregoromichelaki, Joanna Rączaszek-Leonardi, Bert Hodges) Please go to the website for additional materials related to the conference (pre-recorded talks and relevant articles by Mark Bickhard and the other panelists).
