Slurring Terms Across Languages (STAL) is an international and interdisciplinary network whose primary aim is to promote work on slurs\, pejoratives\, expressives and evaluative terms in general\, from languages that have been seldom discussed in the recent philosophical and semantic literature\, and in particular\, from sign languages and non-Indo-European languages. Its main aim is to bring to light new empirical data and uncover novel interesting phenomena that may have the potential to challenge current theories. Empirical studies of the expressions mentioned from such languages\, comparisons with English slurs\, as well as wider cross-linguistic approaches and developments of extant theories in application to the new data or previously neglected phenomena are encouraged too.
\nThe network's coordinators are \;Isidora Stojanovic \;(Pompeu Fabra University/CNRS-Institut Jean Nicod) &\; \;Dan Zeman \;(University of Porto). More information about the network and its activities can be found at \;https://sites.google.com/view/stalnetwork. To contact the network coordinators\, please write to stalnetwork@gmail.com.
\nThe STAL Seminar features monthly\, online talks by researchers tackling issues \;related to the study of slurs\, pejoratives\, expressives and evaluative terms in general\, from less studied languages. The meetings in the 2025-2026 academic year take place on MONDAYS\, 14:30-16:00 Central European Time (CET). The list of speakers is the following (exact dates to be provided soon):
\n- OCTOBER 2025: Luvell Anderson (University of Illinois\, Urbana-Champaign)

\nIn-person: Faculty of Letters\, University of Porto\, Via Panorâ\;mica s/n
\nOnline: Zoom
\nThis is a biweekly seminar pertaining to the project Slurs and the Lexicon: A Rich-Lexicon Approach to Slurs and Other Evaluative Expressions - LEXISLUR (2023.05952.CEECIND\; PI: Dan Zeman). The main aim of the project is to offer a polysemy account fit for evaluative expressions and to assess to what extent a unified approach to the entire evaluative sphere is feasible. Much work on polysemy can be found in lexical semantics - the branch of semantics that studies the meaning of words\, their internal structure and interrelations\, etc. However\, while the debate about polysemy of various expressions has produced an impressive amount of work\, not much material on the polysemy of evaluative expressions exists in that area. The purpose of this seminar is twofold: first\, to get acquainted with the essential literature on polysemy (via in-person sessions dedicated to reading and discussing the relevant papers)\; second\, to feature current work on polysemy as applied to evaluative expressions (via online talks by invited speakers). In this way\, participants will both acquire knowledge about polysemy in general and see how the discussions in lexical semantics can be applied to the evaluative sphere.

\n\;Call for Applications \;
\nSummary \;
\nThe Humane Philosophy Society\, in collaboration the Faculty of Philosophy\, University of Warsaw\, Blackfriars Hall\, University of Oxford\, and Faculty of Philosophy\, Zagreb University invite applications for the New Generation Research Exchange programme. The Exchange programme will give young scholars in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) working on Big Questions of fundamental human importance the opportunity to participate in three fully funded workshops taking place at the Universities of Warsaw\, Zagreb and Oxford. Participants will have the further opportunity to apply to continue the research during a term of funded supervised research at the University of Oxford on the Marek Matraszek Fellowship. Participants&rsquo\; research projects will be assessed by an external committee after the final workshop takes place to determine possible supervisors for research visits to Oxford. The Fellowship will conclude with an alumni workshop in the summer of 2026 to take place in Trogir\, Croatia. \;
\nAn introductory video can be viewed here: \;

The programme is intended to support research projects of successful candidates during the final year of their MA course\, or developing their MA research topics for publication\, or with a PhD application in mind\, as well as those beginning to work on a PhD. Proposed projects should broadly fall under the project themes\, which are outlined below. \; It is expected that most applications will be submitted by natural scientists\, theologians and philosophers\, but there are no disciplinary restrictions and applicants with academic backgrounds in other areas are also welcome. Applications are welcome from researchers working in any religious tradition\, and from researchers working in no religious tradition.
\nFor the purposes of the project\, Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is defined as: Albania\, Armenia\, Azerbaijan\, Belarus\, Bosnia and Herzegovina\, Bulgaria\, Croatia\, Czechia\, Estonia\, Georgia\, Hungary\, Kosovo\, Latvia\, Lithuania\, Moldova\, Montenegro\, North Macedonia\, Poland\, Romania\, Serbia\, Slovakia\, Slovenia and Ukraine.
\nActivities
\nSuccessful candidates will participate in a series of three masterclasses during the course of the programme. The meetings will take place over three days each at the Universities of Zagreb\, Warsaw\, and Oxford. Participants will have the opportunity to discuss their work as a group and with invited mentors\, as well as participate in seminars led by prominent visiting speakers. The Fellowship will cover all the costs of participating in each masterclass including travel and accommodation. The fellowship will conclude with an alumni workshop in the summer of 2026 which will cover all participant costs except travel. The total value of the Fellowship is 4000 USD. \;
\nSelected participants will have a further opportunity to receive the Marek Matraszek Oxford Fellowship to complete their work during a term at Oxford University\, where they will be able to work closely with a secondary supervisor to advance their research.

For example\, presentations might discuss (but are not limited to): the epistemology of inquiry\, the metaphysics of inquiry\, ethical norms of inquiry\, historical perspectives on inquiry\, or the structure of scientific inquiry.
We aim to foster the sharing of ideas in an inclusive\, welcoming and low-pressure environment. Papers that are already accepted for publication will not be accepted. We aim to be sensitive to the needs of early-career scholars.
The group meets biweekly on Zoom during each of the Fall and Spring semesters. Meeting times are determined shortly before the beginning of each semester with the goal of finding a time that works for as many members as possible. Special consideration is given to finding a meeting time that works for presenters of accepted papers.

ORGANIZER;CN=Caterina Del Sordo;CN=Luca Oliva;CN=Silvano Zipoli Caiani: METHOD:PUBLISH END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20260411T141914Z DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260220T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260522T170000 SUMMARY:Online Bayle Seminar 2026 : Education and Pedagogy in the Philosopher of Rotterdam UID:20260415T125451Z-iCalPlugin-Grails@philevents-web-f5d4878dd-dnjxp TZID:Europe/London DESCRIPTION:The \;Online Bayle Seminar \;is a study and research group devoted to the figure of Pierre Bayle. In the very spirit of the &ldquo\;Republic of Letters&rdquo\; so dear to Bayle\, it seeks to be both international and interdisciplinary\, and aims&mdash\;thanks to the possibilities offered by online communication&mdash\;to overcome the divisions between schools and approaches that have sometimes characterized Bayle scholarship. Founded in 2025\, the seminar hosted in its first year a series of talks on various themes in Bayle\, such as atheism\, tolerance\, and the \;Dictionary. It thus provided an opportunity to discover the most recent research on Bayle carried out in Europe as well as in the Americas and Asia.
\nFor this second year\, we have chosen to develop the seminar&rsquo\;s format around a concrete theme through which Bayle&rsquo\;s work and thought&mdash\;and the context in which he evolved&mdash\;will be analyzed. The objective of this new format is to examine the production of the philosopher of Rotterdam in a more systematic way. Sessions will alternate between reading workshops devoted to the study of selected passages circulated beforehand\, and talks on specific topics. The theme for this second year is \;&ldquo\;Education and Pedagogy in Bayle.&rdquo\; \;The seminar will begin in 2026.
\nWhether from a biographical or a philosophical perspective\, the question touches closely upon Bayle&rsquo\;s life and writings. As a child\, Bayle himself suffered from an irregular schooling\, which he recalls in his correspondence and from which he draws lessons in the advice he gives to his brother Joseph. Later\, Bayle served as a teacher for almost his entire adult life. As is well known\, he first worked as a tutor\, in Coppet and Rouen\, and then as a professor at Sedan and Rotterdam. His philosophy courses\, included among the \;Miscellaneous Works\, are well known. His work as a writer and philosopher is marked by questions of education. The prefaces and forewords of his works not only provide information on the author&rsquo\;s status and his relationship to an ideal reader\; they also contain pedagogical reflections that fit more broadly within the theme of education. Likewise\, the project of a \;Journal of the Republic of Letters\, based on reviewing recent publications\, not only demonstrates an interest in erudition but also affirms the possibility of a learned public and the importance of its education. One should not forget the Reformed context in which Bayle pursued his schooling and his teaching: can one detect confessional markers in his reflections on education?
\nOn a political and theological level\, royal legislation concerning the children of the Huguenots raised the issue of the right to educate one&rsquo\;s children according to one&rsquo\;s own religious convictions. Religious controversy during the revocation of the Edict of Nantes also raises the question of the purpose and means of education: should one not &ldquo\;instruct&rdquo\; erring consciences rather than persecute them? At what point can one judge that the other has been sufficiently taught and that his error stems from culpable obstinacy? Can religious truth be taught in the same way to all minds? This question of &ldquo\;pedagogical differentiation&rdquo\; must be correlated in Bayle with his moral anthropology&mdash\;namely\, attention to the place and role of temperament and passions in the psychic and intellectual life of the individual. And this is directly linked to the &ldquo\;prejudices of childhood and education\,&rdquo\; where Bayle explicitly equates childhood and education with those factors that hinder the formation and exercise of a critical mind. Although the secondary literature has at times examined these issues in Bayle\, the question of education as such has been little studied in his work.

\nPhilosophy in Technology Conference &ndash\; 5th Edition: AI\, Human Uniqueness\, and Emerging Forms of Agency.
10&ndash\;11 April 2026
We invite contributions to the 5th edition of the annual event &ndash\; Philosophy in Technology Conference. The overall objective of this conference is to reflect on the role of philosophy in technology and engineering. We seek studies of salient philosophical dimensions or underpinnings of technology that demonstrate how philosophical insights shed new light on what technology does or overlooks\, and how technology is influenced by underlying philosophical assumptions.
\nThe central topic of the 2026 conference is the evolution of AI toward human-like capacities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved dramatically since its inception\, from simple computational systems to advanced machine learning models capable of mimicking human behavior. At the same time\, philosophical\, ethical\, and social implications concerning the nature of humanity\, agency\, and cognition have come to the forefront. We propose to explore two interconnected themes: the evolution of AI concepts toward human-like agents and the potential transformation or reduction of human uniqueness as AI systems advance.
\nThe conference draws on a multidisciplinary approach\, combining insights from AI research\, philosophy of mind\, cognitive science\, ethics\, and social theory. Key concepts from philosophy of technology\, posthumanism\, philosophy of mind\, and machine ethics will be central to the analysis. Beyond these perspectives\, the conference also invites participants to rethink the role of philosophy itself and the possibilities for philosophical inquiry in the context of emerging technologies.
\nProposed topics may:
\nPresentation Formats
\nIn addition to standard 20-minute presentations followed by discussion\, the conference will feature a dedicated Flash Presentation &\; Poster Forum.
\nFlash presentations will consist of a 5-minute focused research talk\, designed to present a clearly articulated thesis\, conceptual framework\, or emerging research problem. Each flash talk will be accompanied by a poster (printed or digital)\, enabling extended discussion during a structured poster session.
\nThis format aims to:
\nParticipants are invited to indicate in their submission whether they wish to be considered for a standard presentation or for the Flash Presentation &\; Poster Forum.

2026 Fordham University Philosophy Graduate Student Conference
\nConference Theme: \;Philosophy and Crisis
\nApril 10 &\; 11\, 2026
\nInvited Keynote Speaker: Dr. José\; Medina (Northwestern University)
\n\nIn every domain of modern life\, crisis seems to have become the defining condition of our age. Our TV stations and social media feeds are bloated with images of political violence\, global conflict\, and ecological catastrophe brought about by human-driven climate change. Yet the very technologies that inform us of these crises have generated another of their own: a crisis of knowing. The acceleration of information exchange has destabilized trust in once-stable systems of knowledge and knowledge dissemination\, leaving the boundary between truth and falsehood increasingly opaque. Economic precarity has compounded this condition\, producing crises of identity and purpose as younger generations struggle to form a coherent sense of self amid dwindling opportunity and accelerating inequality. And yet\, these crises are not confined to politics or economy alone: the erosion of public education\, the privatization of healthcare\, and the growing alienation between men and women all point to a broader collapse of the social fabric itself.What\, then\, is philosophy&rsquo\;s task in this age of mass crisis?
\nThis conference will provide a platform to examine how philosophy can evaluate\, diagnose\, and respond to crisis through our attempts at understanding it: is our task limited to interpretation and analysis\, or do we have a role to play in articulating solutions and developing theoretical frameworks along which meaningful praxis can be carried out and crises be ameliorated?
\nQuestions along this line of inquiry might include\, but are not limited to:
\nHow can we grapple with the precarious conditions that underpin contemporary existence?
\nIn what ways can philosophy address political\, economic\, epistemic\, environmental\, relational\, religious\, identity\, or health crises?
\nHow can we make sense of political instability?
\nIn times of crisis\, how do we know which institutions we can rely on?
\nHow should we consider questions of trust during institutional instability?
\nIn what ways should we question the legitimacy of political authority when the institutions through which it is maintained and carried out are in flux?
\nHow can we make sense of violence in times of crisis? Can violence resolve crisis\, or only deepen it? \;
\nHow can we think of living in the wake of crisis and catastrophe?
\nHow have philosophers throughout history made sense of crisis? Are their approaches still valid?
\nWhat is hope\, and how is it useful in our encounter with crisis? In what forms can hope be manifested? In what ways can it be manipulated?
\nCan hope actually lead to meaningful change?
\nHow should we define crisis? What is the criteria to say that we experience a current crisis?
\nOther work broadly related to &ldquo\;Philosophy and Crisis&rdquo\; is also welcome. We appreciate your participation and look forward to your contributions.

\nA civilization that proves incapable of solving the problems it creates is a decadent civilization. A civilization that chooses to close its eyes to its most crucial problems is a stricken civilization. \;
\n&ndash\; Aimé\; Cé\;saire\, Discourse on Colonialism
\nFrom its inception in the slave economies of Hellenic states\, Western philosophy has failed to grapple adequately with the topics of colonialism and imperialism. Even at its most &ldquo\;critical&rdquo\; &ndash\; the \; Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School\, Foucauldian genealogy/archeology\, Arendtian political philosophy\, Western Marxists like Althusser\, Bloch\, Zizek\, and Badiou &ndash\; the colonial question and its relation(s) to imperialism have been underrepresented or neglected wholesale. To contribute meaningfully to global struggles for liberation\, a rethinking and restructuring of Western thought is needed. \;
\nSome preliminary questions come to the fore. How do the material conditions of knowledge production in imperialism\, in its past\, present\, and future forms\, shape our theoretical projects? In what ways do the logics of imperialism and colonialism persist&ndash\;or how have they mutated&ndash\;in our contemporary moment? What positions\, ideas\, or preconceptions in the history of Western philosophy need to be rethought in light of the colonial question? Can these positions\, ideas\, and preconceptions be rehabilitated towards decolonial or anti-colonial ends?
\nThe conference will occur April 10th to 11th\, 2026 at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh\, PA. Speakers should prepare a ~20 minute presentation\, with ~10 minutes of questions to follow. \;
\nApplicants should prepare anonymized abstracts for blind-review between 300-600 words\, submitted via email as a .pdf or .docx document to duquesnegsipconference@gmail.com. Please additionally include a title page with the following information: \;

\nThe relationship between culture\, education\, and politics has been a lively and enduring topic of philosophical discussion. As life-long teachers and learners\, philosophers have an inherent interest in what it means to educate in academic settings and beyond. Recognizing that education does not take place in a vacuum\, and in light of technological and political developments since the turn of the century\, the need for a discussion of values and philosophical orientation in education has become increasingly apparent. As such\, this conference seeks to investigate and reimagine the relationship between socio-political and educational systems. In doing so\, we ask: how should we understand the increasing social\, political\, and cultural influence on the processes\, institutions\, and experiences of education? And conversely\, what can\, or should\, be the role of education in shaping its broader context?
\n---
\nWe invite papers from all traditions that reflect on the relationship between culture\, politics\, and education from a philosophical perspective\, including (but not limited to) submissions that address:
\n&bull\;History of philosophy of education
\n&bull\;Comparative educational philosophies across cultures and societies
\n&bull\;The aesthetic dimensions of education
\n&bull\;Cultural differences and tensions in educational contexts
\n&bull\;Educational inequalities\, freedom\, and liberation
\n&bull\;Perspectives on public-facing or political education
\n&bull\;Theoretical approaches to technical knowledge and skill acquisition
\n&bull\;The role of ethics and social justice in education
\n&bull\;Alternative and decentralized pedagogical movements
\n&bull\;Indigenous and non-western approaches to education
\n&bull\;Reflections on teaching philosophy
\n&bull\;The ongoing relationship of emerging technologies (such as A.I.) to learning and teaching
\n---
\nTo apply\, please submit abstracts of no more than 800 words on this form by December 21st\, 2025. Decisions will be communicated by early March\, 2026. Papers should be prepared for 30-minute talks with a Q&\;A session. A limited number of online submissions will be accepted. Sessions will be held in Eastern Standard time (GMT-5).

\n8th Annual Philosophy of Religion Conference
\n&ldquo\;Philosophy of Religion and Ethics&rdquo\;
\nIn every age\, we wrestle with moral questions. Debates about justice\, responsibility\, human dignity\, and the good life emerge wherever individuals and communities seek to live together meaningfully. Religious traditions continue to shape ethical reflection&mdash\;sometimes grounding moral insight\, sometimes generating deep disagreement about what we owe to one another. How should religious belief inform ethical reasoning? What role does moral philosophy play in evaluating religious commitments and practices? And can philosophy of religion help clarify the ethical demands of life in a pluralistic world?
\nIt is in light of questions such as these that Weatherford College presents the 8th Annual Philosophy of Religion Conference\, held April 10&ndash\;11\, on the theme &ldquo\;Philosophy of Religion and Ethics.&rdquo\;
Matthew Hallgarth\, Ph.D. (Tarleton State University) will deliver two Ben Arbour Memorial Lectures addressing central issues at the intersection of ethics and philosophy of religion.
Dr. Matthew W. Hallgarth is Associate Professor of Philosophy and Religious Studies at Tarleton State University and a retired Air Force officer. On active duty he taught philosophy for several years at the Air Force Academy. He earned his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Florida in 2003. At Tarleton\, Dr. Hallgarth teaches philosophy courses for the honors college\, manages the curriculum\, assessment\, and course rotation schedule. He has numerous service commitments to Tarleton and the Stephenville community. He is developing a &ldquo\;leadership and humanities&rdquo\; course for Tarleton&rsquo\;s Corps of Cadets and a medical ethics course for Tarleton&rsquo\;s new health professions college. His interests are ethical theory\, political theory\, world religions\, philosophy of religion\, and applied ethics\, not necessarily in that order.
In addition\, a call for papers is being extended to professional philosophers\, professionals working in philosophy of religion or ethics\, students of philosophy\, and scholars or students in any field intersecting religion and ethical theory. Proposals on the conference theme are especially welcome\, including&mdash\;but not limited to&mdash\;topics such as moral theology\, virtue ethics and religion\, divine command theory\, religious responses to moral disagreement\, applied ethics and religious belief\, moral responsibility\, justice\, and the ethical implications of religious practice. While proposals related to the conference theme will be given special consideration\, any proposal on a topic related to the philosophy of religion will be considered.
Proposals should be 250&ndash\;350 words and must be submitted no later than March 13\, 2026. Proposals may be submitted to Greg Trickett at gtrickett@wc.edu. Presentations will be limited to a 45-minute time frame (approximately 30 minutes for presentation and 15 minutes for Q&\;A). Presenters are encouraged to submit a full version of their paper for consideration in a possible published volume.
Conference registration for Weatherford College faculty\, staff\, and students is free\, though registration is still required (Weatherford College registrants may be asked to present a school ID at the registration table). Registration for non-Weatherford attendees is $40. You can register HERE. In addition to paper presentations and plenary sessions\, the conference will conclude with a Q&\;A dinner featuring the keynote speaker and select presenters. The dinner will be held at a local restaurant and will be self-pay. \;For more information (including a conference schedule once it is finalized) see the conference webpage HERE!

\nWe are pleased to announce a two-day interdisciplinary workshop hosted by the \;Center for Philosophy of Science \;at the \;University of Pittsburgh\, focusing on the intersection of \;social metaphysics \;and \;empirical research in the social sciences.
\nThe workshop aims to foster dialogue between philosophers and social scientists who are interested in the nature of social reality and in how conceptual and empirical approaches to understanding it can be fruitfully integrated.
\nSocial scientists and philosophers have long sought to clarify what it means for entities such as \;races\, genders\, institutions\, and social structures \;to exist and to act. Meanwhile\, empirically-oriented social scientists have developed increasingly sophisticated methods for \;measuring\, modeling\, and explaining \;such phenomena. This workshop will bring these conversations together to explore the \;conflicts and connections \;between \;conceptual&ndash\;theoretical frameworks \;and \;empirical&ndash\;methodological practices \;in the study of the social world.

\nIn the philosophy of science\, efforts to move beyond the value-free ideal have been underway for decades\, and the &ldquo\;New Demarcation Problem&rdquo\; may have played a role in intensifying the debate about suitable replacements. And yet\, not all of the recent developments are pulling in the same direction. \; For example\, there has been significant development in the philosophical accounts of political legitimacy and the importance of publicly endorsed values. \; But at the same time there have been persuasive arguments provided in favor of the need for partisan science. \; Similarly\, while new arguments have been offered in favor of avoiding an incorporation of values where possible\, there are also compelling arguments that in many cases this will not be desirable. And so on.
\nIn our focus paper of this special issue\, we will revisit the task of determining where and how the line between epistemic distortion and management of epistemic risk (what we have called the New Demarcation Problem) is to be drawn. \; We now argue that either there is no single line to be drawn or\, if there is\, the most productive step forward for the current debate would be to step away from attempting to produce a single replacement for the value-free ideal. But our call for a plurality of ideals is not unconstrained. \; In the focus piece of the special issue we argue that the appropriate ideal depends on the &ldquo\;job&rdquo\; envisioned for science in some particular context. \; We illustrate the potential of this account by returning to the case study from the New Demarcation Problem. Here we show how considering the job science was tasked with in the Upper Klamath Lakes case study resolves the dispute between the Fish and Wildlife Services and National Research Council. \;
\nOur goal for the special issue is to invite philosophers to explore how\, and at what level\, we can meaningfully articulate coherent jobs for science. \; We believe a finer-grained consideration of what jobs we want science to do can help us develop accounts of what science must be like in order to be so employed. \; Accordingly\, for the special issue\, we are primarily interested in soliciting a variety of fine-grained analyses that articulates some job for science and what replacement ideal is superior to value-freedom for that job (or why for some job\, the value-free ideal should be retained). \; \;
\nHere are some examples of &ldquo\;jobs&rdquo\; for science that may fruitfully be distinguished from one another:
\nTo advance knowledge through curiosity-driven inquiry
\nTo inform and support regulatory decision-making
\nTo generate knowledge essential for technological innovation
\nTo pursue knowledge collaboratively with local communities
\nTo produce knowledge that addresses epistemic injustices and meets the needs of particular groups
\nTo provide guidance and expertise for policy deliberation
\nThese are just examples -- we are open to other &ldquo\;jobs&rdquo\; or a completely different way of categorization. We would also welcome a critique of this philosophical project.
\nExtended Submission deadline (Soft): March 15th 2026. (Hard) April 12th
\nReviews will begin March 15th\, all abstracts received by April 12th will be reviewed and receive equal consideration.
\nInterested parties should submit a 500 word abstract. \; Six submissions will be invited to contribute a paper to a special issue of American Philosophical Quarterly. \; \;

\nThe program is designed for a maximum of 20 PhD candidates\, advanced MA students\, or early career researchers working in the philosophy of moral progress and moral change broadly construed. Our summer school will encompass debates about the normative criteria of moral progress\, the empirical case for ongoing moral regress\, the relationship between social identities and social norm change\, and the relationship between technological and moral change.
\nThe summer school will feature keynotes from:
\n&bull\; Agnes Tam (University of Calgary)
\n&bull\; Victor Kumar (Boston University)
\n&bull\; John Danaher (University of Galway)

Questions about the political and social dimensions of knowledge production have been ubiquitous throughout the history of philosophy. In recent years\, they have regained prominence under the label of &ldquo\;political epistemology.&rdquo\; Most recently\, much of the work explicitly framed as political epistemology has emerged from analytic philosophy\, with the underlying assumption that contemporary political issues can be reduced to analytic questions regarding the acquisition and dissemination of knowledge. This literature often failedto engage appropriately with feminist epistemology and philosophy of science\, critical theory\, de-colonial/post-colonial theory\, and Foucauldian approaches &ndash\; traditions that have long explored political-epistemological questions from diverse and influential perspectives. This conference aims to recentre these approaches within contemporary debates in political epistemology. We explicitly invite work that explores political epistemology from an empirically-grounded inter- and transdisciplinary perspective\, engaging with critical knowledge projects that question arbitrary hierarchies and work towards liberatory epistemological theories\, epistemic practices and systems. We encourage scholars whose work centres perspectives that are under-represented on the basis of sex/gender (including trans and intersex status)\, racialisation\, migrant background\, class\, sexuality\, religion\, disability\, and chronic illness to apply. \;
We invite contributions that speak\, but are not limited to\, one or more of the following topics:

In recent years\, a broad international debate has emerged regarding the concept of human ecology\, which includes environmental\, social\, relational\, and cultural dimensions. Human ecology examines the fundamental connection between individuals\, their environment\, and the relationships that shape them\, identifying dwelling as a form of care for the environment\, others\, and oneself.
\nThis perspective necessitates moving beyond a solely technical understanding of the environment to rediscover its anthropological\, ethical\, and spiritual dimensions. Dwelling is not merely a material or economic phenomenon\; it reflects the human capacity to form relationships\, steward nature\, and foster a more just and supportive coexistence.
\nThe conference seeks to examine\, from an interdisciplinary perspective\, human ecology as a foundational element for cultivating a culture of care. This objective aligns with the central goal of the three-year research project &ldquo\;For a Culture of Care. A Response to the Anthropological Crisis&rdquo\; (https://www.ifanthropology.org/una-cultura-della-cura-una-risposta-alla-crisi-antropologica\;https://www.pusc.it/research-project/care).
\nThe conference will feature plenary lectures by internationally recognized speakers and sessions comprising presentations selected through a Call for Abstracts.
\nSpecial emphasis will be placed on contributions addressing the following topics:
\nThose interested must send an abstract (about 300 words\, in Spanish or English) to: luca.valera@uva.es\; frusso@pusc.it by November 22\, 2025. Authors of selected abstracts will be notified by December 5\, 2025.

The workshop &ldquo\;Negotiated Meanings\, Norms\, Cooperation\, and Conflict in Linguistic Interaction&rdquo\; brings together researchers working at the intersection of philosophy of language\, pragmatics\, and linguistics to reconsider how meaning is produced\, stabilized\, contested\, and transformed in communicative practice.
\nFor several decades\, the dominant paradigm in pragmatics and philosophy of language has been the broadly Gricean model of communication\, according to which communicative exchanges are fundamentally cooperative transactions structured by the expression and recognition of reflexive communicative intentions. On this view\, discourse meaning is largely determined by the speaker&rsquo\;s intention and the hearer&rsquo\;s ability to recognize it within a framework of shared rational expectations. This approach has proven remarkably fruitful\, enabling systematic explanations of implicature\, indirect speech\, and context-sensitive interpretation.
\nAt the same time\, a growing body of work highlights phenomena that are difficult to capture within a strictly intention-cantered and cooperation-based framework. These include the normative organization of discursive practices\, the diversity of commitments undertaken in conversation\, non-cooperative or only partially cooperative exchanges\, and processes of meaning negotiation and conceptual change in discourse that cannot easily be reduced to miscommunication.
\nThe keynote lectures illustrate these challenges from complementary perspectives. Manfred Krifka proposes a model of conversational dynamics cantered on commitments\, blockings\, and performative updates to the common ground. Marina Terkourafi develops a theory of Hearer&rsquo\;s Meaning that does not depend on the recognition of speaker intention as a necessary condition for interpretation. Marco Mazzone examines how communicative conflict may arise both according to norms and over norms\, arguing for an integration of Gricean and Austinian insights. Kasia M. Jaszczolt introduces the concept of generalized unsaying\, understood as dynamic metalinguistic denegation\, to systematize a range of phenomena involving the undoing of communicated content and to illuminate how such processes contribute to the negotiation and regulation of meaning in discourse. Mitchell S. Green presents a model of the cultural evolution of speech-act norms\, emphasizing how communicative practices emerge\, stabilize\, and change over time.
\nThe workshop aims to develop theoretical frameworks that extend and enrich the Gricean picture of communication by integrating insights about social norms\, commitment structures\, hearer-cantered interpretation\, conflict\, and cultural evolution. More broadly\, it seeks to explore how communicative transactions and discourse meanings are shaped not only by intentions and their recognition\, but also by conventions\, institutional roles\, negotiated interpretations\, and evolving communicative practices.

\nAbstract: \;Among political philosophers\, Kant is known for a social contract theory that features the imperative to submit to the rule of law\, administered by a state. The pure statist reading of Kant&rsquo\;s political philosophy emerges naturally from the following two ideas: first\, for Kant the only innate right is to freedom from determination by another&rsquo\;s will\; and\, second\, as dwellers on the surface of a watery globe\, we cannot avoid affecting one another (for example\, when we claim some property as our own\, we are expecting everyone else to respect that). From these two ideas it follows that the only way to avoid wronging each other all the time--by imposing unilateral determinations on them--would be for everyone to submit to what Kant calls omnilateral determination in the civil condition\, that is\, to the rule of law. However\, despite its clear attractions\, the exclusively statist reading encounters difficulties both within Kant&rsquo\;s corpus and outside it. As early as 1784\, Kant worried about the injustice of efforts to constrain the choices of future people\; by 1797\, his worries have multiplied\, including problems of colonial injustice\, the shortcomings of global concentration of power\, and relations among pastoralists and more settled peoples. Following recent promising trends in the interpretation of the \;Metaphysics of Morals\, I read Kant&rsquo\;s mature cosmopolitanism as demanding accountability among people whose actions affect each other\, even when they cannot share a civil condition (and\, especially\, across generations). Humanity under Anthropocene conditions constrains the freedom of future generations in much the same way that the would-be intergenerationally tyrannical church synod criticised by Kant in 1784 sought to constrain the freedom of future generations to inquire into the truth of their religious commitments. Early social contract theory aimed to resolve problems of coordination and legitimacy for humans whose decisions were much less broadly consequential than our decisions today. I argue that Kant&rsquo\;s mature cosmopolitan social contract theory suits our Anthropocene circumstances\, clarifying our obligations to one another while offering orientation for individuals and groups seeking principled courses of action as members of a species which has (among other things) already permanently altered the geological record.
\nBio: \;Lisa Ellis is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Otago.

\nEn los ú\;ltimos añ\;os se ha desarrollado un amplio debate internacional en torno al concepto de ecologí\;a humana\, que no se refiere ú\;nicamente a la dimensió\;n ambiental\, sino tambié\;n a la social\, relacional y cultural. Hablar de ecologí\;a humana significa abordar el ví\;nculo profundo entre el ser humano\, su entorno y las relaciones que lo constituyen\, reconociendo el habitar como una forma de cuidado: cuidado de la casa comú\;n\, cuidado del otro\, cuidado de sí\; mismo.
\nEsta perspectiva exige superar una visió\;n meramente té\;cnica del medio ambiente para redescubrir sus dimensiones antropoló\;gica\, é\;tica y espiritual. Habitar no es solamente un hecho material o econó\;mico\, sino que expresa la capacidad del ser humano de construir ví\;nculos\, de custodiar la naturaleza y de promover una convivencia má\;s justa y solidaria.
