Call for Abstracts for The Zicklin Center Normative Business Ethics Workshop Series
\nOver the 2025-2026 academic year\, the Zicklin Center for Governance and Business Ethics at the Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania\, will convene a regular works-in-progress series for scholars working in normative business ethics (NBE). In particular\, the Series will workshop papers pursuing business ethics issues from a normative perspective\, or papers in moral or political philosophy with implications for the market\, distributive justice\, labor relations\, the role of business in society\, etc.
\nWorkshop Objectives
\nThe Series is part of an effort to foster normative business ethics in the academy and the public sphere. This particular initiative has two key objectives: First\, it endeavors to provide a regular forum for scholars working on business ethics from a normative perspective. The community of such scholars is relatively small\, and dispersed across numerous institutions\, and there are few opportunities for these individuals to convene and share work. This Series is an effort to connect these scholars and to enrich their shared intellectual life. Second\, the Series aims to be especially valuable to junior faculty and advanced graduate students\, by providing them with feedback from\, and opportunities to interact with\, more established members of the normative business ethics community. To that end\, we hope to have (at least) one junior author and one senior author at each session.
\nWorkshop Format
\nThe workshop will meet six times over the academic year. Any academic or practitioner with an interest in normative business ethics is invited to attend the sessions. Attendees are expected to read the papers in advance\, and to come with feedback for the paper authors. To maximize the opportunity for paper improvement\, authors will not present their papers\; we will instead spend our time together on questions and comments for the author.
\nSessions will be held on Fridays\, beginning at 1:00 pm unless otherwise indicated. We will discuss two to three papers at each session. Attendees are expected to read the papers in advance\, and to come prepared to offer feedback.
\nWe plan to hold all sessions in-person\, on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania\, in Philadelphia.
\nSession Dates:
\nSeptember 19th\, 2025
\nOctober 17th\, 2025
\nJanuary 16th\, 2026
\nFebruary 13th\, 2026
\nMarch 20th\, 2026
\nApril 10th\, 2026
\nCall for Abstracts
\nWe invite abstract submissions from \;faculty and post-docs\, and from graduate students who have advanced to the ABD stage. \;Preferential treatment will be given to those who have not presented work at the Series before\, and we especially welcome submissions from women and under-represented minorities.
\nThe abstract should propose a paper in normative business ethics\, as described above. We ask that submissions offer a fairly detailed sense of the paper without exceeding 500 words.
\nWe ask that applicants identify three of the above dates\, in order of preference\, at which they would like to present their work. Please send your abstract to Brian Berkey &ndash\; bberkey@wharton.upenn.edu -- by July 25th\, 2025. Individuals will be notified about whether their paper has been selected for presentation by August 4th\, 2025.
\nInformation for Selected Authors
\nThe Zicklin Center will likely be able to offer travel funding of $1000 for paper authors for the session at which their paper will be discussed\, though there is a bit of uncertainty regarding our funding situation at the moment. In cases of need\, we may be able to offer additional funding\, with preference given to graduate students and international scholars.
\nReimbursement for travel expenses is subject to two conditions. By accepting the offer to workshop a paper\, the paper author pledges that:
\n1. \; \; \; \; The paper they will share is at a stage of development where the author can incorporate feedback gained at the workshop (e.g.\, the paper is not yet in page proofs or in print)\; and
\n2. \; \; \; \; The paper author will send their draft paper to the organizers no fewer than 14 days before their presentation date.
\nFor co-authored papers\, we can ordinarily only provide travel funding for one of the authors\, though other co-authors are welcome to attend.
\nPlease address any questions about the CFA or the workshop to one of the organizers: Brian Berkey (bberkey@wharton.upenn.edu)\, Amy Sepinwall (sepin@wharton.upenn.edu)\, or Julian Jonker (jonker@wharton.upenn.edu).

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):

\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.

It is aimed at promoting the discussion of scholarship about the German philosophical tradition and the establishment of relations between philosophers and departments that focus on the German philosophical tradition. It welcomes scholars interested in the many ways to engage with this rich tradition and the specific projects and concerns of its many representatives&mdash\;from Leibniz to Wittgenstein\, Kant to Gadamer\, Hegel to Habermas&mdash\;as well as the reception of this tradition.

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.

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.

\n\nTitle: \; \;Induction and Indifference
\nAbstract:
\nThe principle of indifference says that if you don&rsquo\;t know which possibility obtains\, you should assign equal credences to all possibilities. There are different ways to make this precise\, but even sophisticated versions of the principle of indifference fail to vindicate inductive reasoning. I illustrate this point by discussing Carnap&rsquo\;s work on the foundations of inductive logic and the No Free Lunch theorem from machine learning and draw some philosophical lessons.

Making kin is first and foremost a gesture rather than a concept. Donna Haraway \; presents it as a gesture that reacts to a world organized by rigid separations: nature and \; culture\, feminine and masculine\, human and machine\, organism and technique. To \; make kin is to learn how to live together under the epistemological horizontality of \; habitable bodies in damaged landscapes\, accepting interdependence as an ontological \; and political condition. It is not a matter of restoring a lost nature\, nor of celebrating \; technology as a promise of salvation\, but of weaving possible relations within wounded \; worlds. This proposal emerges from the recognition of the most recent narcissistic \; wound in the human imaginary: technology.
\nAfter Copernicus\, Darwin and Freud&mdash\;who \; unsettled anthropocentric pride by demonstrating that the Earth is not the center of the \; universe\, that human beings are not isolated divine creations but part of animal \; evolution\, and that we do not exercise full control over our own mind\, being also \; governed by the unconscious&mdash\;technoscience\, particularly the digital and artificial \; intelligence\, once again displaces the human from the center by challenging its cognitive\, \; ontological\, and moral exceptionalism. For Donna Haraway\, this wound should neither \; be denied nor healed\, but inhabited through a profound reconfiguration of how agency\, \; responsibility\, kinship\, space\, and time are conceived in a shared and fragmented world \; composed of human and non-human cultural entities. Making kin therefore entails \; rethinking and reinhabiting bodies\, beginning by questioning which bodies are \; recognized and how they appear. Bodies that are sites of passage\, traversed by regimes \; of gender\, race\, class\, and species\; bodies exposed to toxicities\, extraction\, and \; infrastructures\; bodies amplified\, monitored\, and reconfigured by technologies. Bodies \; that are also habitats of resistance\, care\, and the invention of new ways of dwelling. The \; pressing question is not only how to survive\, nor even how to live\, but how to render \; bodies habitable. In this sense\, this congress seeks to bring together philosophical and \; interdisciplinary reflections that explore the unexpected alliances between ecology\, \; technology and feminism\, interrogating the conditions of possibility for habitable bodies \; within contemporary ecological techniques. In doing so\, it aims to contribute to \; imagining futures in which making kin is not merely a concept\, but an urgent ethical and \; political praxis.
\nThis way\, researchers are invited to submit presentation proposals within the \; three main strands of the congress&mdash\;feminism\, ecology and technology&mdash\;placing them in \; dialogue through perspectives such as ecofeminism\, transhumanism\, new materialisms\, \; the ethics of care\, decolonial thought\, among others. Theoretical\, critical\, or situated \; approaches from philosophy and related fields are welcome\, exploring\, among other \; possibilities:
\n➢ Contemporary transformations of the categories of subject\, agency and community \; in light of posthumanism\, new materialisms\, and relational metaphysics\;
\n➢ Practices of care\, hospitality and kinship as ethical and political questions\, analyzed \; from the perspectives of care ethics\, applied ethics\, bioethics and contemporary \; political philosophy\;
\n➢ The reconfiguration of the body as a site of experience\, agency and vulnerability\, \; considering dialogues between phenomenology\, philosophy of embodiment\, gender \; studies and philosophy of technology\;
\n➢ Interdependencies between humans\, non-humans and technologies and their \; epistemological implications\, addressed through the lens of philosophy of science\, \; feminist epistemology and technoscience studies\;
\n➢ Questions of justice\, responsibility and vulnerability in wounded ecologies\, \; examined from the optic of political philosophy\, critical theory\, postcolonial theory \; and environmental ethics\;
\n➢ Critiques of traditional hierarchies (nature/culture\, human/non-human\, \; masculine/feminine) and the exploration of alternative models of kinship and \; coexistence\, drawing on metaphysics\, ontology\, social philosophy and posthuman \; theories\;
\n➢ Reflections on technology\, artificial intelligence\, biotechnology and digitalities as \; forces that displace the subject\, transform agency and redefine modes of inhabiting\, \; from the perspectives of philosophy of technology\, critical cybernetics and AI \; studies\;
\n➢ The construction of shared worlds\, kinships and interdependencies through visual \; and performing arts and cinema\, considered in light of philosophy of art\, relational \; aesthetics\, and philosophy of film\;
\n➢ The role of language\, narrative and symbolic representation in mediating bodies\, \; technologies and ecologies\, investigated through philosophy of language\, narrative \; theory\, critical semiotics\, and philosophy of communication.
\nProposals must be submitted in English\, Portuguese\, Spanish\, French\, or \; Italian to \;makingkin@outlook.pt \;by April 7\, 2026. They should include an abstract \; (up to 300 words) and a brief biographical note (up to 150 words). Presentations should \; not exceed 20 minutes. The results will be announced on 7 May 2026. This International Congress is organized within the framework of PRAXIS &ndash\; Center for \; Philosophy\, Politics and Culture\, University of Beira Interior (Covilhã\;\, Portugal).

Schuman Maison de la Recherche Centre Gilles Gaston Granger Maison de la Recherche Centre Gilles Gaston Granger\, Aix-en-Provence\, France\, 13100 DESCRIPTION:Atheism and the \;Meaning of Life
\nAs Hans Blumenberg has shown\, a major characteristic of the
Occidental thought tradition is the rootedness of its fundamental
structures of meaningfulness in transcendence. Since the expansion of
Christianity\, this rootedness is guaranteed by a transcendent God.
This radical dependence upon structures of transcendence as the
ultimate resources of meaning becomes most eloquently obvious at the
wake of Modernity when Christian faith is progressively fragilized\, and
the medieval ordo starts to erode. The erosion of this ordo-
metaphysics gives way to a growing awareness of human autonomy\,
leading to the recognition of human agency. This shift carries
significant consequences: Friedrich Nietzsche&rsquo\;s famous aphorism
declaring the death of God illustrates with great acuity the challenge
linked to this revolution of paradigm: Following Jean-Franç\;ois Matté\;i\,
Man is left in a &ldquo\;crise du sens&rdquo\;\, the French notion &ldquo\;sens&rdquo\; hinting at
both meaningfulness and orientation. The entire metaphysical
structure of the Platonic-Christian tradition crashes and (Western)
Mankind is in an urgent need to find new resources for the generation
of meaning. However\, the repeated crises in the history of Modernity\,
and in particular the spread of nihilism in the late 19th century and the
nihilistic ideologies of the 20th century\, show insistently that it is far
from obvious to take up this challenge. Whereas Nietzsche suggested
that we become creators of new values\, Sø\;ren Kierkegaard tried to
handle the loss of metaphysical reassurance by claiming God as a
subjective truth\, and Martin Heidegger attempted to find the lost
entirety of Dasein\, and thus a genuine meaning in life\, through a
merely immanent conception of authentic possibilities emerging from
the anticipation of one&rsquo\;s own death. Yet\, it is maybe &ndash\; and
paradoxically &ndash\; in Albert Camus&rsquo\; Myth of Sisyphus that the
indebtedness of Modernity to the metaphysical tradition becomes the
most striking reminder of the devaluated resources of meaning: the
revolt he presents as the attitude to adopt facing the absurd is
understandable only against the backdrop of what has been lost\,
culminating in the claim that life is lived all the better if it does not
have meaning.
Unlike the continental tradition\, analytical philosophy has long
neglected questions about the meaning of life. This started to change
at the turn of the millennium\, and a new discourse has emerged\,
reexamining these &ldquo\;classic&rdquo\; philosophical questions in the context of a
pluralistic and post-secular world. This conference seeks to explore
responses to the challenges posed by the &ldquo\;post-metaphysical&rdquo\; context
for the contemporary world and to engage with new perspectives on
meaning. By explicitly addressing &ldquo\;atheism\,&rdquo\; we aim to sever the
assumptions underlying the theistic framing of meaning: What is the
meaning of meaning beyond theism? How can meaning be understood
within a naturalistic worldview? Are classical theistic discourses on
meaning influenced by cultural bias? The conference is interested\, among
others\, the following topics:
- The relation of meaning of life and atheism\, naturalism\, and/or
secularism
- The meaning of life within philosophy of religion (especially
non-theistic accounts)
- The meaning of meaning
- Atheism\, Absurdity and Nihilism
- Atheism and Anti-natalism\,

\nWe are pleased to announce the call for papers for the upcoming workshop \;&ldquo\;Scientific Progress via Model Transfer? The Case of Cultural Evolution&rdquo\;\, to be held at Leibniz University Hannover (Germany) on 9&ndash\;10 April 2026. \;
\nOver the last decades &ldquo\;Cultural Evolution Theory&rdquo\; has matured into a thriving research programme\, offering mathematically explicit explanations of phenomena as diverse as language change\, technology adoption\, social norms and economic development. Much of this success rests on the transfer of formal models&mdash\;from population genetics\, evolutionary game theory\, Bayesian learning\, phylogenetics\, and network science&mdash\;into the cultural domain.
\nIn relation to that\, philosophers of science have shown a growing interest in the phenomenon of model transfer\, that is\, the transfer of models or modeling techniques across different scientific domains. Central questions concern what exactly travels when models cross disciplinary boundaries &mdash\; whether formal structures\, model templates\, or entire conceptual frameworks &mdash\; and under what methodological conditions such transfers produce genuine knowledge rather than superficial analogy.
\nAs model transfer becomes increasingly recognized as a defining feature of contemporary science\, it is vital to examine its role in driving scientific progress. At first glance\, model transfer appears to be conducive to progress by enhancing explanatory depth\, predictive accuracy\, theoretical unification\, and problem-solving capacity. Yet\, the question of how and to what extent cultural evolutionary theory as a case of model transfer contributes to progress in science remains largely unexplored.
\nBy bringing together scholars from cultural evolutionary research and from philosophy of science\, the workshop aims to open a timely and much-needed conversation on the relations between model transfer and scientific progress by taking cultural evolution as a prime case study. \;
\nTopics for discussion in the workshop include (but are not limited to):
\nModel transfer and scientific progress
\nHow can model transfer be understood as a form of scientific progress?
\nHow does it compare with more classical accounts of progress (e.g.\, accumulation of knowledge\, increasing explanatory power\, unification)?
\nCase Studies from Cultural Evolution
\nIn what ways do the success stories of Cultural Evolutionary Theory (e.g.\, phylogenetic trees\, network models of innovation and diffusion\, and gene&ndash\;culture co-evolution of social norms) serve as compelling test cases for evaluating scientific progress through model transfer?
\nConceptual and technical challenges
\nWhat exactly counts as a model or a template in Cultural Evolutionary Theory? \;
\nHow are biological concepts\, such as fitness\, selection\, and drift\, adapted and/or generalized\, both conceptually and technically\, when applied to domains like economics or linguistics?
\nLimits and risks of model transfer
\nWhen does imported modelling machinery advance explanation\, prediction\, and integration?
\nWhen might model transfer obscure domain-specific realities or lead to distortions?
\nHow can researchers identify and mitigate these risks?

It seems intuitive to contrast what is 'real' with what is 'virtual'\, 'fake'\, 'fictional'\, 'imaginary' or 'hallucinatory'. This distinction is well-established in phenomenology\, psychopathology and the philosophy of mind.
\nHowever\, this workshop aims to show how this principal contrast is not unproblematic. The workshop will grapple with these issues through various disciplines\, including philosophy\, psychiatry\, psychology\, and cognitive neuroscience

Time work is not merely conducted by archivists and historians\, but by grave diggers and undertakers\, documentary filmmakers and memoirists\, knowledge bearers\, politicians\, war journalists\, practitioners of living traditions\, speakers of dead languages\, as well as by any and all who keep something &ndash\; a story\, a trinket\, an heirloom\, a song &ndash\; holding onto it to remember. Time work is not easily done without feeling\; It is driven by the weight of mattering\, it is attention called by the fact that now &ndash\; this\, &lsquo\;our&rsquo\; now &ndash\; is in-part composed by the shadows of what and who came before. Time work is haunting work\, it whispers of recurrences (&ldquo\;this happened before&rdquo\;)\, and implicitly describes the present as a thing pushed to the surface of existence by the collective force of innumerable spent lives\, over centuries\, over millennia.
\n\nIn the summer 2026 Studies in Remoteness symposium\, we explore the ways that time work might destabilize the remoteness of history &ndash\; its absence\, distance\, and neglect. How might we describe the work that transforms time into a weighted force that accumulates\, persists\, and can be carried forward\, often across generations? Through what actions is one accountable to the past? What does it mean to hold or carry an inheritance? In what ways are people indebted to those who came before\, and how might the living &ldquo\;pay the debts&rdquo\; that have accumulated over generations? What kinds of temporalities do different approaches to time work produce\, and what social relations are then enabled or foreclosed? Through these questions\, the symposium reflects on the entanglement of debt and history\, exploring debt as an enduring paradigm that variously informs intergenerational relations\, systems of oppression\, and historical justice.
\n\nWe particularly invite proposals that engage with voices and worldviews often marginalized or erased in dominant knowledge systems.
\n\nThat place of bad debt\, the invaluable thing
Economy is one of the technologies that captures time. Timework (or Zeitarbeit) is also a term for wage labour. Since the early 20th century\, Taylorism maximized the efficiency of labouring bodies\, in part\, by transforming work into monotonous\, repeatable tasks. In &ldquo\;Time\, Work-Discipline\, and Industrial Capitalism&rdquo\; (1967)\, E.P. Thompson analysed the industrial imposition of precise\, clock-based time measurements on human labour. In models of industrial labour\, debt accrues around &ldquo\;wasted time&rdquo\;.
Within time-as-economy\, time work can also be rendered into the kind of labour that expedites and standardizes\, and thus administrates of the past as the debts and inheritances of the present. But what does it mean to account for history as countable value? In The Undercommons (2013)\, Stefano Harney and Fred Moten provide a model for thinking about remoteness as an anti-efficient site of refuge within the economic capture of time where the &ldquo\;debtor seeks refuge among other debtors\,&rdquo\; engaging in practices that work in time to accumulate indebtedness without resolution. They write that\, &ldquo\;[t]his refuge\, this place of bad debt\, is what we call the fugitive public&rdquo\;. Harney and Moten draw from a history of debt wielded a tool of oppression to argue that refuge from debt informs black study and other practices of fugitive planning that first emerged among self-liberated slaves\, or maroon communities. And yet\,
\n\n[t]o creditors it is just a place where something is wrong\, though that something wrong &ndash\; the invaluable thing\, the thing that has no value &ndash\; is desired. Creditors seek to demolish that place\, that project\, in order to save the ones who live there from themselves and their lives.
\n\nExtractive states\, corporations\, and developers claim that communities are indebted to them for progress delivered and infrastructures that too often devalue precisely what is invaluable to those communities. While the economising of the past as debt informs important reparations processes\, heritage work\, and protections\, remoteness can also point us in another direction &ndash\; following in the footsteps of the fugitive. \;
\n\nHistorical Remoteness: Marooned and unmoored
At the seaside fishing village of Saulkrasti\, Latvia\, the ruins of the 1960s modernist catering establishment Restaurant Vārava stands marooned amidst the trees in a seaside forest. World War II refugees from Pskov and Leningrad\, who settled around Saulkrasti after Germans had driven them out of their homes\, are shown in photographs digging trenches for the Nazis in that same forest in 1944. An EU-funded project on Baltic military heritage has identified a German WWII bunker in a farmer&rsquo\;s field\, built with timber cut by refugee hands. Excavations flooded the bunker with groundwater and were reversed.
Saulkrasti&rsquo\;s ruins are perhaps not so monumental as Latvia&rsquo\;s famous Karosta Northern Forts\, falling into the sea\, but they speak just as eloquently to histories of loss\, survival\, forced migration\, fascism\, war\, and economic struggle within Europe&rsquo\;s Baltic &ldquo\;peripheries&rdquo\;. Like many communities along the North Sea and Baltic Rim\, Saulkrasti has been historically shaped by movements over water and its beach has since time immemorial provided a thoroughfare for fish\, trade\, language\, culture\, violence\, exchange\, and upheaval.
How can our time work engage with Saulkrasti as a place where time work is already going on? Hosted within the Nordic Summer University\, a mobile institution which holds symposia for interdisciplinary research at different sites throughout the Nordic and Baltic regions\, Studies in Remoteness invites proposals from all fields to our summer 2026 symposium\, and explicitly encourages practice-based and community-inclusive research that takes up the challenge of engaging directly with the site and the seaside\, and thus to thoughts that slip into the water with the maroon to contemplate and critique historical narratives of moorage\, abandonment\, and the uncertainty of being unmoored. What poetic and material threads connect Saulkrasti and Latvian histories to wider emotional and material legacies of remoteness as they flow across time and partake in the patterns of dependency\, exploitation\, and exclusion structured by legal and economic systems? We are particularly interested in work that draws the site into relations with the long and layered histories of the Baltic rim through ruptures and disruptions and in pasts that remain present &ndash\; not as something stable or settled &ndash\; but as partial\, affective\, and unresolved.

Prof. Dr. Jan Jasper Mathé\; (jan.jasper.mathe@vub.be)
The 2026 ETHU Research Day &lsquo\;The Weight of the Cloud: Navigating Digital Mediation\, Human Meaning\, and Planetary Responsibility&rsquo\; will critically explore the implications of contemporary cloud-based technologies by bringing together in a complementary way philosophical\, ethical\, ecological\, and technological perspectives.
\nContemporary life is shaped by digital applications promising frictionless connectivity and productivity. We refer to it as the &lsquo\;cloud&rsquo\;\; as if it were a natural phenomenon\, omnipresent and powerful\, suspended in the realm of immateriality. While this paradigmatic and commercially appealing metaphor may capture the imagination\, it simultaneously obscures the complex and often inconspicuous infrastructures and socio-technical systems sustaining our technologically mediated condition.Through portable devices such as smartphones\, we carry gateways to cloud-based storage and computing systems\, transforming nearly every domain of human activity into a digital service. This expanding paradigm\, which operates on the premise that cloud hardware and software applications can be endlessly developed and deployed at any scale\, implies not only a reorganization of technological systems\, but also a shift in geopolitical and infrastructural logic\, where cloud platforms increasingly shape new modes of governance\, production\, and consumption\, aligned with computational principles. Beyond communication and information\, transportation and public utilities rely on computational processes to perform their core functions. Yes\, even global environmental governance\, concerned precisely with managing the ecological consequences of a technologically mediated planet\, relies fundamentally on large digital infrastructures.
\nUpon closer inspection\, then\, our everyday smartphones and applications carry considerable existential and material gravity. After all\, our efficient productivity software\, instant messaging apps and seemingly omniscient AI-generated prompts are the &lsquo\;gravitational centre&rsquo\; of the technologically mediated ways in which we have come to relate to ourselves\, others and the world. From e-commerce platforms to AI models and software applications\, the cloud mediates our personal and professional relationships\, raising urgent questions about the algorithmic shaping of everyday life. At the same time\, this technological mediation depends on energy‑intensive\, resource‑heavy infrastructures\, as well as underlying industrial strategies and state policies\, that have grave consequences for\, among others\, the climate and biodiversity.
\nThe urgency of this inquiry\, then\, is underscored by the growing disconnect between the perceived &ldquo\;lightness&rdquo\; of digital life and the substantial &ldquo\;weight&rdquo\; it imposes existentially\, materially\, and ecologically. While we may speak of the &ldquo\;cloud&rdquo\;\, digital technologies are grounded in the heavy exploitation of natural processes to facilitate the human usage of power. This includes both fossil fuel extraction (on a material level\, e.g.\, coal mining) and the commodification of human activity (on an abstract level\, e.g.\, data mining). As energy consumption and resource extraction for data centers and AI workloads keep increasing\, and as our dependence on digital services deepens\, there is a pressing need to critically reflect on our ways of navigating our double-edged digital condition\, one that integrates digital mediation\, human meaning\, and planetary responsibility.

\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.

\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).

\nIn the age of AI\, what are the place of the &ldquo\;human&rdquo\;
\nin the humanities and the role of the &ldquo\;humanities&rdquo\;
\nin defining the human? How do we&mdash\;and how do literature\,
\ncinema\, and art&mdash\;reconsider creativity\, meaning\, and culture
\nin a world where machines can generate and purport to
\ninterpret texts\, images\, and ideas? What new ethical\,
\nphilosophical\, and pedagogical challenges arise when human
\nand machine intelligence intersect? And how does the need
\nto reconceive the humanities in the face of the rise of AI
\nclarify\, challenge\, or transform our understanding of what it
\nmeans to be human?
\nThis symposium brings together scholars\, educators\, artists\,
\nand technologists to reflect critically on the futures of
\nhumanistic inquiry and the futures of the human in the age of
\nAI. We invite contributions that explore the opportunities and
\nchallenges AI presents for literature\, history\, philosophy\, art\,
\nlanguages\, and cultural studies.
