Dear all, Some of you may recall the successful first instalment of The Dialectic seminar series, now almost a year ago. Unfortunately, due to various external circumstances, a second instalment has yet to take place. This is why, in the lead-up to the new academic year, I am hereby putting out a general Call for Discussants for new (online) instalments of The Dialectic.
So, if you have an intellectually evocative thesis about a subject matter falling under the heading of history and/or philosophy of science (broadly construed) that you would like to discuss with a sceptical yet sympathetic opponent in front of an interested audience, then please reach out to me with your suggestions! If interested, could you please let me know: (i) The thesis you would like to put up for discussion or, alternatively, the general subject matter you would like to discuss. (ii) Your availability in either Michaelmas or Lent terms. (iii) Ideas for an appropriate 'opponent' to discuss your thesis with. In general, discussion topics that are of interest to a general HPS audience will be preferred over more niche discussion topics. Moreover, while I am in the first instance looking for interested members of staff (from either HPS or other University departments, such as the Faculty of Philosophy), I also welcome expressions of interest from PhD students.
