Interdisciplinary Reading Club: Recent Debates on Situated Cognition (030127-WiSe21/22)

The colloquium is organized for PhD students and for advanced Master Students only who are already working on their Master thesis. We will offer regular presentations half from PhD-students from Bochum and half from external guests. The presentations will all be in the general domain of theoretical philosophy and cognitive sciences focusing on ‘Situated Cognition’. The presentations should ideally but not necessarily have some interdisciplinary dimension such that perspectives from philosophy, psychology, linguistics, and neurosciences can be systematically interconnected. The aim of the colloquium is to offer a platform for discussion of ongoing research in the RTG-group ‘Situated Cognition’ and further research projects on the self or the perception-cognition divide.
PhD-students who are interested in presentations should write an email to both organizers (albert.newen@rub.de and sabrina.coninx@rub.de) and come to the first meeting.. Master students can receive 4 CP for a presentation in the colloquium (in the case of an additional essay, Master students can receive 6 CP).
The presentations in the colloquium and the discussion will be in English.
