Graduate Student Conference in Interdisciplinary Approach to Events

PHLING, a graduate student research group in philosophy and linguistics at the University of Maryland, College Park, is hosting its first interdisciplinary research symposium, PHLINC (Philosophy & Linguistics Colloquium) on events. PHLINC hopes to bring together young researchers working on events in philosophy, linguistics and psychology. They aim to relate the discussion of events in these fields, bringing into conversation the work in ontology, logic, semantics, and perception. They will also have two invited speakers: Achille Varzi, of Columbia University, and Paul Pietroski, of the University of Maryland.

Submissions are open to graduate student researchers only, and abstracts are due January 7th, 2012. To learn more, visit the conference website.
