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, and comparisons between humans and animals. The Interdisciplinary
Reading Club consists of three components. First, there will be presentations by external
guests working in the field of situated cognition. Second, we will discuss central papers in the
debate to be read in advance. Third, participants will 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 PhD or advanced Master
level. Presentations and discussions will be in English. Students who are interested should
write an email to Dr. Sabrina Coninx (sabrina.coninx@rub.de) and come to the first meeting.
