Kursinformation

The Interdisciplinary Reading Club offers a systematic engagement with the work of researchers central to the field of situated cognition, including aspects of social cognition, situated affectivity, child development, and comparisons between humans and animals. The Interdisciplinary Reading Club consists of two components. First, there will be presentations by external guests working in the field of situated cognition. Second, participants have the opportunity to present their own work and receive feedback from the group. The Reading Club has an interdisciplinary dimension such that perspectives from philosophy, psychology, neurosciences, biology, and cognitive science are interconnected with a focus on the situatedness of cognitive processes. The aim of the Interdisciplinary Reading Club is to offer a platform for discussion of ongoing research and to support the education of students, especially at a Master and PhD level. Presentations and discussions will be in English. Master and PhD students as well as postdocs who are interested should write an email to Prof. Albert Newen (albert.newen@rub.de) & Julia Wolf (julia.wolf-n8i@ruhr-uni-bochum.de) and come to the first meeting.
