Note on current plans for workshop format: At present our plans are to hold as much of the workshop live in person as conditions permit. We realize that different geographical regions, and the universities within them, are re-opening and funding academic travel at different rates, and so plans for Fall 2021 must remain fluid. If we must, we will make provisions to hold some sessions remotely. But in person participation is encouraged. (Gulf beaches are much less fun virtually than in person!)
Participants will be responsible for their own travel costs and arrangements, and the Alabama Philosophical Society $60 registration fee. Funds from the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Mississippi State University will pay for workshop meeting space, lunches for in-person participants on two of the three meeting days, and coffee and refreshment breaks. Registration fees to the APS will permit in person workshop participants to attend the annual Friday night reception and to reserve hotel rooms at the conference hotel at an attractive conference rate.
Please direct all queries to John Bickle at the email above, or to Brian Keeley at brian_keeley@pitzer.edu.
The Deep South Philosophy and Neuroscience Workgroup is an American Philosophical Association (APA)-affiliated group dedicated to promoting professional interactions between philosophers and neuroscientists through transdisciplinary research, and meetings to promulgate results of these interactions.
