Conferences

There have been a bunch of lively workshops at ANU and Sydney recently.  I've put a few Powerpoint presentations on my website: a wrap-up talk from the Introspection and Consciousness workshop, an introductory presentation from the Hyperintensionality and Impossible Worlds workshop, and a talk ("Conceivability Arguments for and against Contingentism") from the Contingentism in Metaphysics conference.

At least two more workshops will be happening at ANU in the coming months, both on issues tied to the philosophy and science of consciousness: one on Consciousness and the Vegetative State in late March (probably March 20-21), and another on Consciousness and Attention in late June (probably June 24-26).

There are many interesting upcoming conferences elsewhere, as well.  In the consciousness area alone, there's the first Consciousness Online conference February 20-27 (deadline for submissions is January 12), Consciousness and the Self at CSU Fullerton April 29-30, and then two major conferences in June: ASSC 13 in Berlin (June 5-8), and Toward a Science of Consciousness: Investigating Inner Experience in Hong Kong (June 11-14).  The Hong Kong conference will be the central point of an Asia Consciousness Festival in Hong Kong June 5-21, comprising all sorts of consciousness-related events.  Another interesting-looking conference that I'll be taking part in is the upcoming conference on Philosophical Methodology in St Andrews, April 25-27.

Update: Two other relevant events are the Minds, Brains, and Beyond conference in memory of Susan Hurley, at Bristol on March 20-22, and the NEH Summer Institute on Experimental Philosophy, at Utah from June 22 to July 17.

Great Dave,
good to hear from you again.
You might do the philosophical community a big favour by turning your powerpoints into papers, though.

Maybe one of these days! Most of these presentations are fairly low-priority to turn into papers. My writing energy is mostly going toward books at the moment.

the link to Mind, Brains and Beyond seems not to be connecting

Hi Dave,

I was wondering whether you will be speaking at ASSC 13 in Berlin this year? and if not, will you be giving any talks in the region in the near future?

cheers
