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)
\n- NOVEMBER 2025: Claire Horisk (University of Missouri)
\n- DECEMBER 2025: Xavier Villalba (Autonomous University of Barcelona)

\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.

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.
I am excited to share that the \;Reconstructing Carnap Webinar Series \;will resume in \;February 2026! Please find the official flyer attached. All talks will take place from \;4:30 PM to 6:30 PM CET \;(10:30 AM&ndash\;12:30 PM EST).

Everybody interested is welcome!
Le Ré\;seau Arendtien Francophone\, cré\;é\; en 2024\, vise à\; favoriser une synergie entre celles et ceux qui\, des amateurs aux chercheuses\, fré\;quentent la pensé\;e de Hannah Arendt. Dans cette optique\, nous cherchons à\; mettre en place un rendez-vous ré\;gulier pour en discuter les diffé\;rents interpré\;tations et aspects.
\nDu fait de l&rsquo\;é\;tendue de la francophonie\, ces sé\;minaires auront lieu en ligne. Leur principe sera le suivant : les participant-e-s auront tous et toutes pré\;alablement lu un article ou un chapitre ré\;cent\, lequel sera pré\;senté\; trè\;s rapidement par souci de prioriser les é\;changes (10 minutes) par son autrice ou auteur. À\; partir de celui-ci\, un-e membre du ré\;seau ouvrira (5 min) à\; un dé\;bat plus large afin de discuter\, outre l&rsquo\;article\, les diffé\;rents interpré\;tations et aspects de l&rsquo\;&oelig\;uvre d&rsquo\;Arendt (1h30).
\nProgramme 2026\nEn 2026\, nous proposons quatre sé\;ances ordinaires du sé\;minaire et une sé\;ance spé\;ciale : «\; Arendt et la science é\;conomique »\;\, «\; Arendt et le travail »\;\, «\; Liberté\;\, volonté\;\, politique »\;\, «\; Arendt et la violence »\;\, «\; Philosophie\, é\;ducation et politique »\;.
\nLe sé\;minaire est ouvert à\; toutes et tous sans inscription pré\;alable \; n&rsquo\;hé\;sitez pas à\; venir y assister et y participer. Les articles et textes discuté\;s sont disponibles sur le site du RAF. N&rsquo\;hé\;sitez pas non plus à\; nous contacter pour toute demande d&rsquo\;information complé\;mentaire.
\nLe RAF ?\nLe Ré\;seau Arendtien Francophone (RAF) se veut un espace divers et pluriel\, rassemblant une communauté\; de doctorant-e-s\, enseignant-e-s\, chercheurs/ses\, intellectuel-le-s et toute personne inté\;ressé\;e ou engagé\;e dans l'é\;tude et la diffusion de la pensé\;e d'Hannah Arendt en France et le monde francophone. À\; travers cette plateforme\, nous souhaitons favoriser les é\;changes intellectuels\, offrir une visibilité\; accrue aux travaux de recherche et cré\;er des liens solides entre francophones s'inté\;ressant à\; et puisant dans l'&oelig\;uvre de cette autrice majeure du XXe siè\;cle.
\nOutre l&rsquo\;organisation de ce sé\;minaire et d'é\;vè\;nements acadé\;miques lié\;s à\; la pensé\;e d'Arendt\, le ré\;seau actualise continuellement un site web qui met à\; disposition : une bibliographie des textes de langue franç\;aise consacré\;s à\; Arendt ou la mobilisant\, un annuaire des membres du ré\;seau\, un agenda des activité\;s francophones qui lui sont dé\;dié\;es et une lettre d'information mensuelle.

\nThis lecture series draws together scholars interested in the rich history and ongoing evolution of phenomenology within the Italian philosophical tradition. It provides a forum for regular discussions where participants can present their latest research or recent publications. Topics will span from the historical and cultural roots of Italian phenomenology and its dialogues with other philosophical traditions&mdash\;including Marxism\, Existentialism\, Pragmatism\, Idealism\, Hermeneutics\, (Post-)Structuralism\, and Neo-Thomism&mdash\;to its intersections with disciplines such as psychology\, psychoanalysis\, sociology\, anthropology\, political theory\, and art. A key objective of the series is also to examine how Italian phenomenological concepts and frameworks can contribute to contemporary debates in fields such as the philosophy of mind\, social and political philosophy\, aesthetics\, and the theory of art and literature. By doing so\, the series fosters dialogue within the phenomenological tradition and across broader philosophical and interdisciplinary contexts.
\nParticipation
\nThe series will be conducted in a \;hybrid format\, both in person at the Husserl Archive in Cologne and online via Zoom. To register\, please email \;italianphenomenology@gmail.comwith the subject &ldquo\;Registration Lecture Series 2026.&rdquo\; The Zoom link will be provided the day before each session.
\nOrganizers: Marco Cavallaro\, Sara Dameno

\nTopics
\nPlease see below for a non-exhaustive list of suggested topics\; we particularly welcome contributions that make contact with this year&rsquo\;s conference theme: Ground Truth and Validity. While the notion of measurement validity is comparatively familiar\, ground truth may need more of an introduction. The concept of ground truth has origins in remote sensing\, where it is used to contrast the outcomes of a near or ground level measurement with outcomes of a remotely sensed measurement. From these origins\, the concept has now moved to a wider use\, particularly in machine learning contexts\, where it denotes data assumed to be true\, which can then be used to calibrate and validate machine learning data. The time seems ripe for a more careful investigation from a measurement perspective of the concept of ground truth&mdash\;both in its original understanding and in its more metaphorical use.

\nAbstract: \;
\nWann ist es moralisch zulä\;ssig\, eine Person zu tö\;ten\, um dadurch das eigene Leben zu retten? Einige Fä\;lle gelten in der Debatte als unkontrovers. Andere fü\;hren zu Debatten zwischen einer extensiveren Auffassung (etwa von Robert Nozick und Judith Thomson) und einer restriktiveren Auffassung (Jeff McMahan\, Michael Otsuka). Kern des Problems ist\, dass mitunter Tatsachen ü\;ber die rä\;umliche Position von Personen einen Unterschied in den jeweiligen Rechten zu begrü\;nden scheint.
\nDer Vortrag bietet eine Interpretation der Theorie Kants an\, genauer: der Theorie der Rechte\, die Kant in seiner Rechtslehre entwickelt. Es wird gezeigt\, dass diese Theorie (der Deutung zufolge) eine eher extensive Auffassung begrü\;nden und insbesondere erklä\;ren kann\, wieso rä\;umliche Unterschiede einen Unterschied in moralischen Rechten ergeben kö\;nnen. Die zentrale Einsicht Kants ist dabei\, dass der Umfang unserer Rechte sich aus einer &bdquo\;anschaulichen Konstruktion&ldquo\; ergibt\, durchaus so wie in der Geometrie.

The second Bodies in Digital Transition (BDT) edition traverses the materiality of the mechanical body itself: what embodied gestures and rhythms animate its operations? What moves beneath its surface? What kind of being emerges in the loops of its code? From the lures of the aesthetic surface to the recursive depths of its algorithmic core\, this year BTD aims to dissect the machine&rsquo\;s anatomy across several strata that form a speculative topology of the machinic body\; a descent through appearance\, mechanism\, and ontology toward the thresholds where technology ceases to represent and begins to be. In mapping out the systems of embodiment inhabited by digital beings\, we also open up inquiry into how human agents author\, come into contact with\, and transform machine bodies. There is neither &ldquo\;the technology itself&rdquo\; nor &ldquo\;the aesthetics itself&rdquo\; but rather a method of design in which the two are mutually implicated. To resist interior&ndash\;exterior divides open inquiries of how human agents encounter and transform machinic bodies through the intra-active practice of design. Digital bodies condition human expression and are conditioned by cultural inflections at each strata. The plural and distributed materialities of digital systems span beyond physical objects\, but encompass code\, electromagnetic waves\, and sensory outputs in complex and multiple communicating layers. How does the agency act as this morphing web? Following a post-human stance\, neither digital nor human cognition is assumed to be contained within an algorithmic nucleus. Instead\, it is conceived as emerging through relations across each stratum\, whose analytical isolation is not intended to fix ontologies\, but to map a topology of multiple\, non-linear processes through which agencies coalesce. To move beyond the limits of this configuration and to encourage crossing of boundaries\, we invite trans-disciplinary experimental and highly speculative inquiry and action into the machinic as event\, intra-action\, and formation of being.

The behaviour of quantum systems is said to be random\, the outcomes of quantum mechanical experiments are said to be random\, certain devices based on quantum processes are said to operate in a random way&hellip\; However\, the concept of randomness is rarely made precise in these contexts. Meanwhile\, in another branch of science &ndash\; computability theory\, also called recursion theory &ndash\; a fully precise concept of randomness has been developed\, termed &ldquo\;algorithmic randomness&rdquo\;. How are these two uses of the term &ldquo\;randomness&rdquo\; related? Is the concept of algorithmic randomness relevant to Quantum Mechanics? The aim of this workshop is to address various facets of this question in an interdisciplinary gathering. The event will take place at the Jagiellonian University in Krakó\;w on August 31st and September 1st\, 2026. The format of the workshop will be hybrid: it is possible to participate either in person or online (but the organizers strongly encourage in-person participation).

\nTitle: \;&ldquo\;Looking Past the Collingridge Dilemma: \; Interventions for Responsible Digital Societies&rdquo\;
\nDate and Time: \;June 30th\, 15:45 WEST (Dublin)\, 16:45 CEST (Berlin)\, 17.45 EEST (Bucharest)
\nRegistration Link: \; \; https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/HTkxKNxk4F
\nAbstract: The Collingridge Dilemma poses a double-bind problem\; that the impacts of technology elude prediction and often only become apparent upon widespread adoption in society\, and that once its risks are known it becomes too late to alter the course of the technology&rsquo\;s development. Many technological breakthroughs--especially in recent years where we are witnessing acute and accelerated digital transformation--would seem to evidence a &ldquo\;runaway train&rdquo\; thesis that once new technologies have developed a certain momentum\, their progress cannot be stopped or altered\, and with potentially disastrous or unknowable societal results--including ethical\, economic\, political\, and ecological ramifications (such as socio-ecological rebound effects).
\nThe concept and framework of Prospective Technology Assessment (ProTA)\, and the variety of tools of responsible innovation\, oppose such a dilemma and thesis\, and argue instead that reflexive\, inclusive\, anticipatory and responsive technological development can help identify and avert the wide-ranging risks and impacts of novel technologies. The university is a centre of development and experimentation with novel digital technologies and also a key site for deploying the methodologies of responsible innovation\, including methods of technology and technological impact assessment (e.g.\, ethical impact assessment\, environmental impact assessment\, and Prospective Technology Assessment). This event will foreground the role of ProTA as an introduction to technology assessment.
\nThe university is also a place of learning for students who need to be equipped with the skills to critically engage in methods of responsible innovation and critical thinking about technology\, to be empowered to contribute to the development of technologies that serve rather than undermine human values\, including those of ecological flourishing.
\nThis event will provide a critical background to overcoming the Collingridge Dilemma with a focus on the role of technology assessment\, socio-ecological rebound effects\, as well as critical interdisciplinary discussion on the impacts of digital technology and the role the university has in pioneering pedagogical and research interventions for responsible innovation for sustainable digital societies.

Concept Note
\n&ldquo\;Why is the world falling apart when it&rsquo\;s my turn to be adult?&rdquo\; As the future grows less assured and more precarious for the younger generation today\, this viral question has been circulating and echoing across the digital landscape worldwide\, especially under the gloom of a global resource crisis\, the rise of populism\, the backsliding of democracy and the rule of law\, and more. While for some young people living in war-stricken or less privileged regions\, the threats are far graver and more imminent than the others\, the majority of youth nonetheless seem to be shadowed by such existential questions. Will the planet cease to be habitable when I grow older? How do I live in a society that does not guarantee my basic rights or denies my autonomy? How do I still change the world for the better when my voice is so small and not represented in decisions that directly influence my future? \; \;
\nDespite the youth&rsquo\;s wish to fight for their future\, frustration arises when their voices are not reaching the older\, decision-making generation. Many youth find that adult-dominated activist venues are too dismissive of their concerns and agency\, according to some research (O&rsquo\;Donoghue &\; Strobel\, 2007). Such sentiments are also reflected in spaces specifically set up for youth\, for example\, youth advisory councils\, since adult-directed political socialisation is dissonant with youth&rsquo\;s own self-perception (Taft &\; Gordon\, 2013). This phenomenon has prompted some young people to start their own youth-centred organisations (Gordon &\; Taft\, 2010). The characteristics of these spaces include inventive direct actions\, flat hierarchies\, and benefits from well-connected online networks (Juris &\; Pleyers\, 2009). \;
\nMoreover\, we can observe a rise in young people pushing the boundaries of traditional elements of international human rights law by taking their actions to court. Against the image of being incompetent political actors\, litigation brought by young people to the Internation al Court of Justice or the European Court of Human Rights has upended the usual legal procedures in these platforms. These novel cases include\, for example\, multiple young students suing several respondent states\, none of which they are residents of\, on the grounds of anticipated and aggravated harm caused by these states to the climate (Daly\, 2022). Indeed\, there is no guarantee that these new developments will rewrite the language of human rights law. However\, a certain impact can already be observed through cases such as Sacchi v. Argentina\, where for the first time a state could be deemed violating children's rights under international law on the basis of insufficient reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (Sacchi and Others V. Argentina\, 2026).
\nScholars argue that such momentum is actually built on a growing &ldquo\;autonomous identity&rdquo\; that is shared by the youth through globalisation and networked communication systems (Eide &\; Kunelius\, 2021). Essentially\, the youth movement operates on a network of &ldquo\;shared stories and collective concerns" that empower their voices and create resonance (Starr\, 2021). Therefore\, in the Youth Symposium 2026\, our goal is to cultivate a space where such stories and concerns can be shared among young scholars\, civil society actors or individuals with similar visions. The Youth Symposium 2026 seeks not only to examine the conditions shaping youth today\, but to collectively imagine and insist upon the futures they deserve\, and the future we all share. \;

\nDeadline: 15 June 2026
\nObjectives
\nThis course explores the thought of Baruch Spinoza (1632&ndash\;1677)\, analysing his seminal works. Spinoza was born and lived in the Dutch Republic and had Portuguese-Jewish origins. Spinoza made significant contributions to modern biblical criticism\, 17th-century rationalism\, and Dutch intellectual culture\, establishing himself as one of the most important philosophers of the early modern period. His thought combines elements of ancient Stoicism\, medieval Jewish rationalism\, and the thought of philosophers such as Moses Maimonides\, Thomas Hobbes\, and René\; Descartes in a highly original system. \;
\nHe received a traditional Jewish education\, learning Hebrew and studying sacred texts within the Portuguese Jewish community. As a young man\, Spinoza challenged rabbinic authority and questioned Jewish doctrines\, which led to his expulsion from the Jewish community in 1656. Following this expulsion\, he distanced himself from all religious affiliations and devoted himself to philosophical research and lens grinding. Spinoza attracted a circle of devoted followers who gathered to discuss his writings.
\nSpinoza published sparingly during his lifetime to avoid persecution and suppression of his works. In his Tractatus Theologico-Politicus\, Spinoza questioned the divine origin of the Hebrew Bible and the nature of God\, arguing that ecclesiastical authority should have no role in a secular\, democratic state. The Ethics advocates a pantheistic view of God and explores the role of human freedom in a world devoid of theological\, cosmological\, and political anchors. Spinoza&rsquo\;s philosophy spans nearly every area of philosophical discourse\, including metaphysics\, epistemology\, political philosophy\, ethics\, philosophy of mind\, and philosophy of science.
\nWithin this framework\, students will develop appropriate critical and analytical skills through reading and discussing philosophical texts on topics related to freedom\, God\, imagination\, politics\, prophecy\, and theology. Furthermore\, students will learn to navigate philosophical thinking by addressing fundamental questions\, including: What is freedom? What is God? How can we conceive of a political order? What is the role of imagination in religion? This course addresses these and other questions by focusing on the works of one of the foremost philosophers of the early modern period.

\nThe course will be entirely in English and is intended for undergraduate\, postgraduate\, and doctoral students. It is also open to everyone interested in the intellectual biography of Spinoza

\n5th TSHD Digital Humanities Symposium Tilburg School of Humanities &\; Digital Sciences\, Tilburg University
\n2 &\; 3 July\, 2026
\nLarge language models (LLMs) have quickly become a prominent feature of contemporary intellectual and cultural life\, raising distinctive questions for scholars across the digital humanities and related disciplines. We are interested in the multi faceted role of LLMs in academic research. LLMs process and generate language in a way that is both familiar and uncanny\, revealing and opaque. They can write\, translate\, argue\, and create\, but also lead us astray. In their complexity\, they hold up a strange mirror to human thought and culture (to borrow Shannon Vallor&rsquo\;s metaphor).
\nThis symposium takes as its organizing metaphor three roles that LLMs play in (digital) humanities research: as mirror\, colleague\, and rival. As a mirror\, LLMs reflect the values and biases encoded in training data drawn from a large corpus of human-generated text. Studying the output of LLMs (and how it falls short) can teach us about ourselves as well as the technology itself. As a colleague\, LLMs can serve as research tools or co-authors\, raising questions about collaboration\, authorship\, research integrity\, and the evolving nature of scholarly work. As a rival\, LLMs can disrupt and confound\, challenging the epistemic foundations of academic research\, by undermining replicability and evaluation\, and flattening the research landscape.
\nThese three roles are not mutually exclusive\, and the tensions between them are precisely what makes LLMs a productive object of study for digital humanists\, philosophers\, communication scholars\, cultural theorists\, cognitive scientists\, and others working adjacent to the digital humanities alike.
\nGuiding Questions
\nThis symposium aims to deepen our understanding of the role of LLMs in (digital) humanities research\, focusing on questions such as:
\n What can LLMs teach us about human language\, cultural heritage\, knowledge\, and creativity?
\n In what ways do LLMs encode or distort cultural values\, biases\, and worldviews? How can our disciplines help us identify and critique these?
\n How can scholars productively collaborate with LLMs as research tools? What methodological and ethical issues does this raise?
\n What does the rise of LLMs mean for domain expertise and the division of cognitive labor in the (digital) humanities?
\n What normative and political questions are raised by the delegation of linguistic and cognitive tasks to LLMs?
\n How do LLMs functoon as rivals or obstacles in (digital) humanites research? In what ways can they undermine traditional research methods and standards?
\n How do the geopolitics of LLM development and deployment affect their use in academic research (e.g.\, in terms of academic freedom\, conflicts of interest)?
\nWe aim to answer these questions from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. We welcome theoretical\, empirical\, and methodological contributions. We invite speakers to present on a broad range of topics including\, but not limited to the cognitive and AI (e.g.\, modelling of individual and collective cognition\, LLMs as human subjects\, the nature of LLMs more broadly construed)\, arts and media (e.g.\, shifting definitions of authorship\; the potential dispossession of artists from creative industries)\, philosophical (e.g.\, LLMs and value-sensitive design\, cognitive deskilling\, chatbot epistemology and ethics)\, linguistic (e.g.\, modeling language acquisition and processing\, corpus annota on and analysis)\, and communication and information studies (e.g.\, the role and risks of chatbots in domains of health\, information\, and well-being\; the contributioon of LLMs to social and digital inequalities\; the integration of LLMs into communication science methodologies). Submitied abstracts ideally (but not necessarily) feature digital humanities methods or reflect on digital media and technologies.
\nThis 2-day\, hybrid symposium - part on-site in Tilburg\, part online - brings together scholars from a range of disciplines (all represented in the Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences) to engage in a cross-disciplinary dialogue on these matters.
\nKeynote speakers to be confirmed.

\nCFP:
\nIn our postmodern world there are a lot of questions that should be re-considered and re-defined. What does it mean to fight against colonialism and racism in the world of migration crisis and xenophobic attitudes towards minorities? What does it mean to be a postcommunist country in the face of the common nostalgia for order and rules? How is it possible to have a national identity being aware of the relative character of every national feature?
We want to examine the notions of postcolonialism\, postcommunism and postmodernism as thoroughly as possible\, from many perspectives and in variable aspects: in politics\, society\, psychology\, culture\, and many more. We also want to devote considerable attention to how these phenomena are represented in artistic practices: in literature\, film\, theatre or visual arts.
We invite researchers representing various academic disciplines: history\, politics\, psychology\, sociology\, anthropology\, philosophy\, economics\, law\, literary criticism\, theatre studies\, film studies\, fine arts\, memory studies\, migration studies\, consciousness studies\, dream studies\, gender studies\, postcolonial studies\, medical sciences\, psychiatry\, psychoanalysis\, cognitive sciences and others.
Different forms of presentations are encouraged\, including case studies\, theoretical investigations\, problem-oriented arguments\, and comparative analyses.
We will be happy to hear from both experienced scholars and young academics at the start of their careers\, as well as doctoral students and undergraduate students. We also invite all persons interested in participating in the conference as listeners\, without giving a presentation.
We hope that due to its interdisciplinary nature\, the conference will bring many interesting observations on and discussions about postcolonialism\, postcommunism and postmodernism.

This seminar begins from the premise that every political theory rests on an ontology(an account of what beings are and how they relate) and that the dominant ontology of Western political thought is organized around enmity\, self-preservation\, and what Roberto Esposito calls immunitas: the exemption of theself from the obligatory gift (munus) that binds and exposes us to one another.
\nThe munus is an obligatory gift that expropriates the self\, a debt that can never be fully repaid\, a claim the other has on us that undoes our self-possession. For Esposito\, the entire tradition of modern political thought can be understood as an attempt to immunize the subject against this expropriation. The Hobbesian social contract\, the sovereign\, the market\, even revolutionary politics are all are devices for securing the self against the vulnerability that genuine interdependence would require. When the forms and values that once organized existence (religious\, moral\, political) lose their binding force and collapse\, the result is nihilism.
\nThe immunitary tradition is one response to this collapse\, i.e.\, an attempt to secure meaning\, order\, and selfhood through sovereign-enforced forms. But because social forms are themselves groundless (i.e.\, without permanent form)\,immunization deepens the very nihilism it was meant to overcome because the attempts to establish ground leads to various inevitable contradictions of identity
\nAcross six weeks\, we trace this immunitary logic from its founding myth in Hobbes through its political-theological (Schmitt)\, political-economic (Polanyi)\, and biopolitical (Esposito) registers\, and then construct an alternative through the philosophies of Jean-Luc Nancy and Nishitani Keiji. We move toward an ontology of compassion and what I have theorized as a theory of impermanent institutions\, these are political forms grounded not in sovereign self-enclosure but in the lived acceptance of both the munus and impermanence.
\nThe texts in this seminar are difficult. This is partly a matter of vocabulary and partly a consequence of the questions they are asking\, which require us to think at a level of abstraction we are not accustomed to. The framing essays are designed to make these texts accessible without oversimplifying them. Readers are encouraged to sit with difficulty rather than resolving it prematurely\; the seminar is a space for thinking together\, not for arriving at final answers.

\nWe are delighted to announce the nineteenth annual Open Minds Conference for graduate students in philosophy.
\nOpen Minds is a two-day conference which offers graduate students working in all areas of philosophy the chance to present their work and gain feedback in a welcoming and friendly environment. With two parallel sessions running throughout the two days &ndash\; &lsquo\;Applied Philosophy&rsquo\; and &lsquo\;Theoretical Philosophy&rsquo\; - the conference seeks contributions from all areas of philosophy. Our goal is to provide a forum for discussing work in philosophy by aspiring philosophers at both Masters and PhD stages in their careers. From this\, we hope that all who attend will develop valuable philosophical skills and working relationships with other early-stage philosophers. To this end\, we run two keynote sessions. The first scheduled keynote talk will be held by Dr. Jade Fletcherand the second scheduled keynote talk will be held by Dr. Joseph Bentley. As well\, we run two workshop sessions. The first scheduled workshop will be held by Dr. Stephen Ingramand will focus on philosophy of education and our own educational practice. The second workshop session will be announced shortly.
\nGraduate speakers will have 30 minutes to present their paper\, followed by a 10-minute Q&\;A. \;
\n\nApplications
\nPlease send abstracts of a maximum of500 words in Word format\, prepared for anonymous review to openmindsxix@gmail.com by \;10th July 2026 (midnight UK time)\, with the subject line &lsquo\;SUBMISSION&rsquo\;.

Biological Modality Workshop
\n14-15 September 2026\, University of Leeds
\nOrganized by:
\nMargarida Hermida (University of Leeds)
\nSponsored by:
\nLeverhulme Trust
\nConfirmed Speakers:
\nCarrie Figdor (University of Iowa)
\nMarcel Weber (University of Geneva)
\nAlastair Wilson (University of Leeds)
\nRami Koskinen (University of Oslo)
\nMargarida Hermida (University of Leeds)
\nDescription:
\nEvolution by natural selection can bring new kinds of systems into existence\, with capacities never before instantiated. But it cannot &lsquo\;break the laws of physics&rsquo\; &ndash\; the biologically possible must be physically possible. This workshop will explore various themes within biological modality: what is biologically possible\, and how does that relate to physical laws? Is biological possibility best understood as accessibility from a given location within a space of possibilities\, such as Dennett&rsquo\;s &lsquo\;Library of Mendel&rsquo\;? Are there any biological laws that ground a specific kind of biological modality? What can astrobiology\, the search for other instances of life in the universe\, tell us about how life can be? And can synthetic biology be seen as the empirical study of what is biologically possible? How much of what we see around us in the living world is the result of evolutionary contingency\, and how much is the way it is because it could not have been otherwise?
\nCall for papers:
\nWe invite submissions on any topic related to biological modality broadly construed\, including\, but not limited to\, the following:
\n- Biological (im)possibility
\n- Biological laws
\n- Chance and necessity in biology
\n- Dispositional properties of biological entities
\n- Evolutionary contingency and/or convergence
\n- Evolvability
\n- Physical laws in biological systems
\n- Synthetic biology and biological possibility
\n- Universal biology\, astrobiology\, and how life could be
\nAbstracts (max. 500 words not including references) should be prepared for blind review and sent as a pdf attachment to M.Hermida@leeds.ac.uk. Authors should state their names and affiliations clearly in the email. Submissions from early career researchers (PhD students\, postdocs\, and philosophers not in permanent academic employment) are especially encouraged.
\nThe deadline for submissions is 10 July 2026 at 11.59pm BST. Authors will be informed of a decision by 31 July \;2026.

Vertiefungsnachmittag (der erste Vortrag wird online ü\;bertragen)
Mit unserem verä\;nderten Medienverhalten verliert das Schreiben von Briefen seine Bedeutung. Zu Edith Steins Lebzeiten war es noch eine selbstverstä\;ndliche und nicht aus dem Alltag wegzudenkende Mö\;glichkeit\, ü\;ber Entfernungen hinweg miteinander im Gesprä\;ch zu bleiben. Wenn man die Briefe von Edith Stein liest\, darf man an ihrer Hä\;lfte eines Dialoges teilhaben\, an ihrer inneren Zugewandtheit zu Freunden sowie an ihrer inneren Auseinandersetzung mit vielfä\;ltigsten Themen ihres Lebens. Diese Selbstmitteilungen von Edith Stein berü\;hren durch ihre Authentizitä\;t und lassen Einblicke in ihr damaliges Erleben und in ihre im allgemeinen eher verschlossene Persö\;nlichkeit zu. Kardinal Newman meinte einmal\, dass &bdquo\;das wahre Leben eines Menschen in seinen Briefen steckt&ldquo\;. Edith Stein hat seine Briefe wiederum ins Deutsche ü\;bertragen und selbst regelmä\;ß\;ig Briefe geschrieben\, um ihre Freundschaften und Familienbeziehungen zu pflegen. Der Vortrag mö\;chte dazu anregen\, ü\;ber das Briefeschreiben im Allgemeinen und den innerlichen Bewusstseinszustand beim Schreiben von Briefen im Besonderen nachzudenken sowie ü\;ber Edith Stein als Briefeschreiberin.

Call for Participation
\n\nWorkshop: Knowledge on Nature and the Nature of Knowledge
\n\nPlace and date: 24. and 25.09.2026\, Integrative Research Institute on Transformations of Human-Environment Systems (IRI THESys)\, Humboldt University Berlin
\n\nIn this workshop we want to explore how knowledge on &ldquo\;Nature&rdquo\;\, environmental destruction and related forms of resistance is produced\, is circulating and translated. We are particularly interested in contributions which focus on the material\, institutional and political context which forms knowledge.
\n\nThis can include quite different foci: the role of indigenous territories\, knowledge born out of environmental struggles and conflicts\, working (conditions) at European Universities\, the rise of authoritarianism and much more.
\n\nHow do these conditions influence the topics studied\, the translations undertaken\, the political commitments made or not made? Why is it important to ask these questions and how to study them? Ultimately: what do we have to know about knowledge production and how do we have to act on this knowledge in order to create knowledge that is apt to answer to the violence brought upon humans and non-humans?
\n\nThe workshop will be the first event of the research project &ldquo\;Looking across Worlds for Environmental Justice&rdquo\;\, where researchers from the Universidad Andina Simó\;n Bolí\;var in Quito\, King&rsquo\;s College London and Humboldt University of Berlin empirically research how environmental knowledge is produced and translated in different contexts in and between Ecuador and Europe.
\n\nIf you are interested in participating\, please send an abstract (max 350 words) of your proposed contribution to mehlhora@hu-berlin.de by 12 July 2026. Proposals can be sent in your language of choice\, the main languages of the event will be English and Spanish\, other languages will be tried to accommodate. Contributions from outside of academia are welcome. If you require financial support to participate\, please let us know when submitting your proposal. Limited funding for travel support may be available.

\nThis conference investigates how beliefs\, paranoia\, and conspiratorial modes of knowing shape a contemporary cognitive battlespace in which actors struggle to define truth\, authority\, and reality itself. Drawing on Michel Foucault&rsquo\;s \;Lectures on the Will to Know \;and Julia Kristeva&rsquo\;s \;This Incredible Need to Believe \;(2024)\, we focus on practices of selective fact use and &ldquo\;truth-selecting&rdquo\; that construct alternative epistemic orders while claiming privileged access to what is &ldquo\;really&rdquo\; going on.
\nRather than treating conspiracy thinking as merely political or psychological\, the conference foregrounds its religious dimensions: faith in hidden powers\, moral dualism\, apocalyptic expectation\, and hermeneutical struggle over revelatory access to the real. Conspiracy cultures routinely reproduce theological structures of knowing&mdash\;visions of salvation and corruption\, truth and deception\, initiation and blindness. At the same time\, new forms of &ldquo\;cognitive warfare&rdquo\; reframe these religious energies within state and platform attempts to govern perception\, attention\, and trust. Artificial intelligence\, algorithmic media\, and strategic information campaigns do not only deliver messages\; they create digital ecologies in which suspicion becomes faith-like and revelation is continual.
\nThe conference organizers are seeking proposals of high academic quality that take a reflective and analytical approach to both general and specific topics with international appeal or focus. We encourage contributions from scholars of religious studies\, philosophy\, communication\, sociology\, security studies\, psychology\, media\, and related fields. Submissions should engage religion as a dynamic force&mdash\;conceptually\, historically\, or materially&mdash\;within the cognitive battlespaces of our time. We encourage contributions from a spectrum of perspectives\, approaches\, and methodologies.
\nWe are not interested in papers that simply rehearse or promote particular conspiracies\, or that use the conference as a platform for calling out disliked groups. We are not interested in polemics\, jeremiad\, or de facto advocacy pieces. Instead\, we welcome theoretically informed and methodologically rigorous work that takes the religious and epistemic dimensions of cognitive conflict seriously as objects of critical inquiry.
\nTopics and Guiding Questions\nProposals may address\, but are not limited to\, the following subthemes and questions:
\n1. Paranoid Styles and Truth-Selecting\nReligious narratives have always negotiated the boundary between revelation and delusion\, authority and transgression. This subtheme explores how conspiratorial and paranoid styles echo older religious hermeneutics&mdash\;selective citation\, esoteric interpretation\, claims to hidden truth&mdash\;while retooling them in secular or digital forms. How do religious movements or quasi-religious publics narrate their privileged access to hidden realities? What theological and philosophical resources&mdash\;including the Foucauldian genealogy of the &ldquo\;will to truth&rdquo\;&mdash\;sustain these modes of &ldquo\;truth selection&rdquo\; and suspicion?
\n2. Zionism\, Antisemitism\, and Global Conspiracy Imaginaries\nReligious symbols and myths remain central to global conspiracy thinking\, and Judaism occupies a particularly charged position in these narratives. This subtheme invites analyses of antisemitic conspiracies past and present\, from classical &ldquo\;hidden ruler&rdquo\; myths to their algorithmic reprints in digital culture. How do such imaginaries convert theological motifs into political paranoia? What criteria can scholars use to distinguish legitimate critique of religion or state policy from conspiratorial reinscriptions of sacred enmity and eschatological blame?
\n3. AI\, Platforms\, and Paranoid Infrastructures\nTechnological systems now mediate belief and belonging in ways that rival traditional religious institutions. As artificial intelligence curates information and personalizes experience\, it also reconfigures how suspicion\, revelation\, and trust are produced and distributed. This subtheme asks whether algorithmic systems function as &ldquo\;paranoid infrastructures&rdquo\;&mdash\;digital environments that reinforce particular patterns of attention and faith. How do these systems become sites of religious projection\, and how do AI-generated and synthetic media intersect with conspiracy\, extremism\, and religious imaginary?
\n4. Cognitive Warfare and the Expanded Battlespace\nThe concepts of &ldquo\;cognitive warfare&rdquo\; and &ldquo\;cognitive domain operations&rdquo\; increasingly shape strategic and policy discourse\, yet they resonate with deeply theological questions about will\, truth\, and freedom. When states and institutions seek to &ldquo\;weaponize&rdquo\; belief or perception\, they enter into the same struggle for reality long theorized within religious and philosophical traditions. How might religious studies and critical theory help decode the sacred undercurrents of this emerging battlefield&mdash\;its rituals\, its eschatologies\, its doctrines of purified mind and corrupted reason?
\n5. Ethics of Information Control and Scholarly Responsibility\nReligious communities have always wrestled with the ethics of teaching\, interpretation\, and secrecy&mdash\;questions that return urgently in the academy&rsquo\;s role as arbiter of truth amid disinformation. This subtheme invites reflexive discussion of how scholars navigate the line between critique and amplification when studying conspiratorial or extremist movements. What responsibilities accompany the act of curating knowledge&mdash\;or withholding it&mdash\;in an age when information itself is the battlefield?
\n6. Esoteric and Speculative Knowledge\nReligious and occult traditions offer rich precedents for contemporary speculative and conspiratorial epistemologies. Drawing on Michael Barkun and related theorists of stigmatized knowledge\, this subtheme investigates how claims to esoteric or speculative truth function as alternative forms of knowing and meaning-making\, challenging empiricist and positivist paradigms. What ethical and epistemic possibilities emerge when the speculative is taken seriously as an object of inquiry? Where are the boundaries between credible revelation\, creative speculation\, and dangerous delusion\, and how do such claims sustain communities seeking Reality amid uncertainty?
\nSubmission of Proposals\nContributors should send an abstract of 300&ndash\;500 words outlining their proposal and its relevance to the conference theme. All proposals should be submitted as email attachments to the editor at \;editor.jcrt@gmail.com \;with the subject line header: &ldquo\;Religion\, Politics\, and Cognitive Warfare &ndash\; [Paper Title].&rdquo\;
\nAbstracts of papers\, drafts of papers\, or complete papers are welcome\, as well as proposals for oral presentations\, panel discussions\, or short workshops. Accepted presenters will be invited to submit finished articles for peer review and possible inclusion in a special issue of the \;JCRT.
\nPublication\nAs the \;Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory \;works toward a special issue on Religion\, Politics\, and Cognitive Warfare\, our goal is to create an interdisciplinary forum for rigorous examination of these pressing issues. All conference presenters will be invited to submit finished articles for peer review. Selected articles will be published in a forthcoming special issue of the \;JCRT.

Our objective is to promote the research of young scholars (bachelor\, master\, and doctoral students) that sheds new phenomenological light on current debates in epistemology\, metaethics\, and metaphysics. The descriptive analysis of lived experience\, the eidetic study of the various modes of intentionality\, and the epistemic role and normative dimensions ascribed to experience constitute the cornerstones of phenomenological research. In particular\, Husserl&rsquo\;s conceptions of originary givenness\, evaluative experience\, and eidetic intuition are among the various seminal contributions we find in the phenomenological tradition. Currently\, promising research is done that utilizes such conceptions in order to develop phenomenological perspectives on experiential justification\, the debate between epistemic internalism and externalism\, the theory of value\, (moral) emotions\, moral epistemology\, issues surrounding metaphysical realism and anti-realism\, as well as the epistemology and metaphysics of essence\, modality\, and metaphysical dependence relations. We would like to encourage students to develop phenomenological insights and teachings systematically and in view of contemporary debates in philosophy. Our ambition is to promote such phenomenological research by providing a platform to connect with\, discuss with\, and receive feedback from peers and experts. Each conference day is devoted to one of the subtopics of the event.
\nThe conference will be an \;online event. \;If you wish to participate in the summer school but not to give a talk\, please provide a short statement of motivation (not more than 150 words) and specify your name\, affiliation\, and research interests.
\nCall for Papers
\nIf you wish to participate in the summer school and give a talk\, please apply with an (extended) abstract of the paper you wish to present. Submissions should not exceed 500 words\, must be written in English (conference language)\, and should be prepared for blind review.

We will discuss their interrelation\, beginning with medieval metaphysics through to early modern metaphysics\, and approach the theme from historical\, systematic\, analytic\, comparative\, and contextual perspectives. We will ask how representatives of the NIF and the PSR in the Medieval and Early Modern period legitimized\, restricted\, and applied these principles. In this context\, we will examine the concepts of reason\, nothing\, being\, becoming\, and ground. Is there such a thing as nothing\, and what do we mean by &ldquo\;nothing&rdquo\;? Could nothing ever be something? Could we say something comes from nothing? Is all of existence and every being intelligible in terms of a reason or ground\, and if so\, in what sense? When posing these questions\, we will discover that the different conceptions of the NIF and the PSR circle around a determination of what is intelligible and what is not. As a common thread running through the conference\, we will thus ask which accounts of the NIF and the PSR remain philosophically compelling today\, and why?

This time\, the symposium will examine\, from various philosophical disciplines\, the impact of the interactions or indeterminacies established between illusion\, self-deception\, and truth in contemporary philosophy and the world.
\nAmong other topics\, the symposium will address illusion and virtuality\, the mechanisms of the perceptual and discursive constitution of our beliefs about the world and subjectivity\, the problem of truth and falsehood\, biased cognition\, and more\, seeking to examine the limits and paradoxes of truth in the face of self-deception and illusion.
