Graduate Seminars 2022-23

Spring 2023, philos 203: seminar: history of ancient philosophy.

Instructor: Adam Crager Thursdays: 4:00pm – 6:50pm Location: Dodd 399

Subtitle: Aristotle’s  Posterior Analytics

Description: TBA

Philos 232: Seminar: Philosophy of Science

Instructor: Sheldon Smith Mondays: 2:00pm – 4:50pm Location: Dodd 325

Philosophy of Time

Specifically, we will be reading through Craig Callender’s relatively recent (2017) book _What Makes Time Special?_.  The book is basically about the degree to which we should think that actual time in nature matches the picture that we seem to have of it, as having “a flowing present that divides a fixed past from an open future.”  There are stretches of the book that walk us through various physical theories and what they suggest about time, but Callender has attempted to make the book accessible to those without prior background in physics and, in any case, I am willing to help with those portions, if need be.  Having taken or audited Phil 130 (Space and Time) might help, but I don’t think it would be required for understanding.

Philos 235: Seminar: Philosophy of Mathematics

Instructor: Sean Walsh Tuesdays: 2:00pm – 4:50pm Location: Dodd 399

Intuitionism and Inferentialism

Description: The topic of this seminar is connections between (1) intuitionism in the philosophy of mathematics and logic and (2) inferentialism in the philosophy of language. Intuitionistic logic is in many ways the oldest non-classical logic, and its rich history and wide connections to many other areas make it an excellent candidate for a first non-classical logic to learn, and we will provide an introduction to it as we proceed. Inferentialism in the philosophy of language is a family of views that deprioritize the reference of an expression and correspondingly prioritize its role in reasoning (broadly construed). We’ll read Brandom and Dummett and look at Schroeder-Heister’s recent development of Prawitz’s program and some recently uncovered relations to inquisitive semantics. We’ll read Warren and think about the relation between inferentialism and conventionalism, we’ll read Linnebo’s recent work on intuitionism and absolute generality, and we’ll contrast the inferentialist perspective on intuitionistic logic to that recently developed by Fine. Along the way we’ll present in overview some of the background technical ideas like the Curry-Howard isomorphism and normalization in proof-theory.

Philos 244: Seminar: Topics in Value Theory: Rationality and Action

Instructor: A.J. Julius  Tuesdays: 2:00pm – 4:50pm Location: Dodd 325

Subtitle: Action Affordance Attribution

Description:  “the distinction between what is personal to the individual and what is accidental to him,” writes marx, “is not a conceptual distinction but a historical fact,” one that “each age” makes for itself “not according to a concept but compelled by material collisions in life.” “the problem of action,” for harry frankfurt, “is to explicate the contrast between what an agent does and what merely happens to him.” we’ll read several 20th-century writings that isolate this action question. we’ll read texts by hegel that do the opposite, run the question together with all questions . hegel and the late-bourgeois action theorists will equip us to read kant’s theory of property as answering the action question or trying to. with help from marx, finally, we’ll historicize all of the above. owning and using/making–relations a person bears to a thing not a person—are represented not only in the greek ethical exaltation of self-sufficient action above world-dependent production but in the roman legal ratification of slavery as a master-person’s ownership of a human-thing. the attribution to a person of actions of making or using things, like attribution to the person of property in the things she uses or makes, expresses the predicament and orientation of the commodity-owner/exchanger/producer. the owner of nothing to sell but her own capacity for work, who exercises it at the will of an owner of things produced and usable in work like hers: how will she understand what’s happening to her as something she does?

Philos 287: Seminar: Philosophy of Language

Instructor: Sam Cumming Wednesdays: 2:00pm – 4:50pm Location: Dodd 325

Modality crops up all over the place in language, but most familiarly in auxiliaries like might, can and must,  as well as more artificial constructions like it is necessary/possible that  _______. The investigation of modality in logic and language profoundly affected philosophy in the later C20th, and has not lost steam in the C21st. Moreover, increasing attention has been paid to the features of modal systems in natural languages over that period (beginning especially with Kratzer).

This seminar will try to be both introductory and critical. We will get to know the standard apparatus of intensional semantics, but I will also argue that inference  is a better general basis for understanding modality than possible worlds . We will reconsider other central Kripkean ideas, including the rigidity of noun phrases, and the distinction between epistemic and metaphysical modality. The last part of the seminar will be exploratory, mapping out the close relationship between modals, which seem to mark the conclusion of an inference, and the evidential systems in many languages (not English!) which contribute information about the source of a claim (e.g., direct-perceptual, indirect-inferred, indirect-testimonial).

Winter 2023

Instructor: Henry Mendell Mondays: 2:00-5:00pm Location: Dodd 325

Skeptical themes in some middle dialogues of Plato

The middle dialogues of Plato have standardly been called ‘dogmatic’ dialogues where the principal interrogator, Socrates (or Parmenides, if his dialogue is middle) presents Plato’s views and arguments, although there has been in recent years a movement towards reading them with Plato removed more distantly from the philosophical content, where the question, “Who speaks for Plato?” does not necessarily get the obvious answer, the principal interrogator of the dialogue.  In between lie the plethora of meta-interpretative readings of these dialogues that seek to read into them systems or arguments that require various hidden keys of entry (e.g., that Plato is unfolding a pedagogical sequence in his entire corpus of a system or that Plato is revealing to an elite few something hidden to others).  I want to experiment with something else.  These dialogues are exercises in doing philosophy; so let’s pay attention to how their arguments unfold, with all the quirky and ironic claims about the arguments, theories, steps in arguments taken seriously.  Socrates may be famous for irony (and maybe we will have to look into what this claim amounts to), but maybe he is less ironic than many readers take him.  This flat reading may have interesting consequences about what we are expected to do when we read the dialogues.  The texts which I, so far, have found interesting for this sort of approach are:  Phaedo  (the only good philosopher is a dead one?),  Phaedrus  (since each step in the dialogue undermines the previous step, at the last step the dialogue seems to say, “You can’t understand me”?  See Gorgius,  Encomium of Helen ), the three analogies of the  Republic  and the subsequent educational program in  Republic  VII (Socrates has no theory of the Good; the account of mathematics is thin and at best allusive to issues of ontology), and perhaps the  Parmenides  (is Parmenides is merely doing what he says he is doing?).  The  Timaeus  (this is a likely account) is obvious on this issue, but maybe it is worth looking at it too (even if it is late, as most scholars think).  For a sense of my approach, look at my article in the second edition of the  Cambridge Companion to Plato , “Betwixt and Between:  Plato and the objects of mathematics.”

Philos C219: Topics in History of Philosophy

Instructor:  AJ Julius Wednesdays, Fridays: 10:00A-11:50A Location: Royce 154

We will take the quarter to read through Hegel’s Philosophy of right .

Interested students should contact Prof. Julius for more information. Please note, this is a concurrent graduate section for an undergraduate course, Philos C119. It satisfies the History Course requirement but does not satisfy the requirement for a graduate seminar in history.

Philos 232: Philosophy of Science

Instructor: Hayley Clatterbuck Wednesdays: 2:00-5:00pm Location: Dodd 325

Cultural and Biological Evolution

How do we explain uniquely human cognitive abilities, such as complex language, tool use, and cumulative culture? Traditional accounts postulate individual biological changes in the human lineage to explain each of these differences. However, given the short amount of time since our most recent common ancestor with chimpanzees, this seems quite evolutionarily implausible.

Increasingly, philosophers of biology have argued that our differences from nonhuman animals are rarely the result of natural selection and that we share most of our fundamental cognitive architecture with other species. Instead, most of our uniquely human traits are the result of much more rapid cumulative cultural evolution. On this account, a trait like language is more like reading (a cultural innovation) than bipedalism (a genetic one).

In this course, we will be examining the differences between cultural and natural selection in order to evaluate how key traits, like language, evolved. We will start by looking at how Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, originally formulated to explain changes in populations of organisms, was generalized and made substrate-neutral. Then, we will investigate the following questions: what conditions had to be in place for cumulative cultural evolution to arise? What are the different signatures of biological and cultural evolution? How can we tell whether a trait arose by biological or cultural evolution or both? What does the etiology of a trait tell us about whether it is innate, contingent, or universal? Finally, what implications does this debate have for our conception of human nature?

Philos C247: Topics in Political Philosophy

Instructor: Pamela Hieronymi Thursdays: 2:00-5:00pm Location: Dodd 325

Political Equality, Freedom, and Hierarchy

After a bit of orientation in the existing literature, the centerpiece of this seminar will be Niko Kolodny’s forthcoming book,  The Pecking Order: Social Hierarchy as a Philosophical Problem . Kolodny’s main contention is that moral and political theorizing needs to recognize, in addition to negative claims protecting the boundaries of persons and positive claims to benefits, a basic claim against inferiority, which entails the absence of a social hierarchy.

Philos 254A: Legal Theory Workshop

Instructor: Mark Greenberg Thursdays: 12:25-2:25pm Location: Law 1314

The unusual seminar is structured around the Legal Theory Workshop. The Workshop is modeled on Ronald Dworkin and Thomas Nagel’s long-running workshop at NYU.  It brings leading scholars from around the world to discuss their works in progress with graduate students, law students, and faculty. The papers can be diverse, ranging across, for example, legal philosophy, moral philosophy, metaphysics, the relevance of philosophy of language to legal interpretation, and legal theory more generally.

The seminar involves biweekly discussions with visiting scholars, with intervening preparatory weeks in which the class discusses the paper to be presented in the following week. In the preparatory weeks, students gain relevant background but we also focus on how to develop a good philosophical question and what makes for a good philosophical conversation.  The art of asking good questions is a major focus of the class. The written work for the class involves “question papers,” which include questions for the speaker.

This year’s program includes a distinguished group of scholars. The schedule is available at  https://law.ucla.edu/centers/interdisciplinary-studies/law-and-philosophy-program/events/legal-theory-workshop/ .

No prior background is necessary, but students should be open to in-depth investigation of theoretical issues. All philosophy students are welcome and have the relevant preparation. Background will be supplied in the weeks in between speaker visits.

Philos M257: Philosophy Legal Theory

Instructor: Andrew Currie Mondays: 5:30-7:30pm Location: Law 3393

Philosophy of Property

This seminar investigates the philosophical foundations of private property. The law of property defines what is mine and what is yours: is this definition purely conventional or does it reflect a natural order? How, if at all, is the intervention of the state in the protection of property rights justified? We will consider justificatory and critical accounts of private property, including accounts of its genealogy, and investigate the relationship between property and sovereignty. We may also examine whether there are limits on what may be treated as property.

Please note, this course meets on the law school’s Spring 2023 Semester calendar , with the first class meeting on Monday, January 23rd and the final class meeting on Tuesday, April 25th (an Administrative Makeup Monday).

Philos 282: Seminar: Metaphysics

Instructor: Calvin Normore Tuesdays: 4:00-7:00pm Location: Dodd 325

SUBTITLE: TBA

The course will take up both contemporary views about and historical treatments of three questions. 1) what is Truth, 2) what are the truths and 3) why should we care about either of the first two. More details TBA.

Philos 286: Philosophy of Psychology

Instructors: Josh Armstrong & Carlotta Pavese Tuesdays: 12:30-3:30pm Location: Dodd 325

Language and Skill

Is the ability to speak a language an acquired skill? Leading proponents of the generative approach to human language—notably Chomsky (2000) and Pinker (2003)—have argued that the thesis that language capacities are skills is hopelessly confused and at odds with a range of empirical evidence, which suggests that human language capacities are grounded in a biologically inherited set of language instincts or a Universal Grammar (UG). However, many of the arguments leveled against thinking of language as a skill rest on a debatable conception of what skills are. It is therefore worth investigating whether this general resistance to the claim that human language capacities are skills has been fostered by naïve and implausible conceptions of the nature of skills and of skilled action.

We will start by trying to understand what skills are—in contrast with other sorts of practical abilities, such as instincts. We will look at the literature in the philosophy of mind, starting from anti-cognitivists such as Dreyfus and Ryle, to then look at intellectualists, such as McDowell, as well as at the most recent cognitivist (Sutton and Christensen, Pavese, Krakauer, Fridland) and anti-cognitivist developments (Hutto, Gallagher). We will also look at the philosophy of biology and at evolutionary psychology in order to find resources for demarcating skills from practical abilities that are not skills. Armed with a renewed conception of what skills are, we will look at evidence from both the study of language development and acquisition, as well as from the literature on the evolution of language, that might favor the hypothesis that language is a skill after all.

Philos 206: Topics in Medieval Philosophy

Instructors: Brian Copenhaver and Calvin Normore Mondays: 12:00-2:00pm Location: Royce 306

Picturing Knowledge in Historical Perspective

Whether thought is best understood by analogy with language, with pictorial representation or with both is an issue at least as old as Plato’s Cratylus and as contemporary as 2020 revision of the article on Mental Representation in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. This interdisciplinary seminar will attempt to trace from late antiquity into the 17th century, both some of the ways in which pictures were used as tools to create and express knowledge claims and some of the theoretical issues surrounding those uses.

Beginning with an outline of the issues and a discussion of the structure and limits of pictorial representation we will turn to the use of diagrams in late antiquity, to the role of icons in Byzantine thought and to discussions of picturing in Latin Medieval traditions. We will then turn to the dramatic changes in the nature and use of pictorial representation from the fifteenth to the mid-seventeenth centuries ending with a discussion of Descartes’ use of pictures and diagrams.

The seminar will meet weekly for two hours in a hybrid format and there will be an optional third hour scheduled at participants convenience for preparatory and follow-up meetings. The instructors of record will begin and end the series of classes but most of the classes will be given by experts in the particular subjects being discussed.

Philos C210: Spinoza

Instructor: John Carriero Wednesdays, Fridays: 10:00A-11:50A Location: Bunche 3150

Interested students should contact Prof. Carriero for more information. Please note, this is a concurrent graduate section for an undergraduate course, Philos C110, and does not satisfy the requirement for a graduate seminar in history.

Philos 248: Problems in Moral Philosophy

Instructors: Barbara Herman and Seana Shiffrin Wednesdays: 2:00-5:00pm Location: Dodd 325

Staying Within the Lines? The directive import of moral and legal norms

Accounts of both moral and legal prescriptions typically involve both the identification and articulation of moral and legal values and the identification and articulation of moral and legal norms (to use a term meant to be neutral between rules, directives, standards, and other norms that connect those values to actions and motives). The seminar will explore the moral significance of having and crafting norms, of the form those norms take, of their articulation and enforcement, and of the attitudes that agents and citizens should have toward the lines these norms draw. Among the topics to be considered include: why there are duties; discretion and imperfect duties; purposive interpretation as a necessary condition of compliance; rules vs standards; underenforcement and overarticulation; supererogation

Philos 257: Philosophy Legal Theory

Instructor: Andrew Currie Mondays: 4:00-7:00pm Location: Law 3393

Epistemology & Law

This seminar brings some contemporary work in epistemology to bear on the dual questions of how the law is known (how we work out what the law is) and how the law knows (how the law takes itself to know something). Our focus will be on common law systems of precedent, in which decisions of courts are themselves sources of law. According to some theorists, judicial decisions contribute to the law by giving rise to rules or to reasons; according to others, judicial decisions contribute to the law by forming part of the materials which any theory of law should fit and justify. After considering these theories, we will ask whether we can understand precedent by instead appealing to the notion of abduction or inference to the best explanation. We may turn to Bayesian epistemology, with the aim of understanding the relationship between abduction, Bayesian confirmation theory, and precedent. We will conclude by examining the relationship between legal proof and knowledge.

Philos 283: Seminar: Theory of Knowledge

Instructor: Carlotta Pavese Mondays: 2:00-4:50pm Location: Dodd 325

Seminar: Theory of Knowledge

This is a graduate seminar in epistemology, focusing on the relation between knowledge and action. We will start discussing virtue epistemology—an approach to epistemology which aims at understanding knowledge on the model of skilled or virtuous action. We will think about the consequences of thinking of epistemic states on the model of actions and we will ask whether epistemic competences are better thought along the lines of skills, or virtues, or what else. We will discuss whether knowledge plays a normative role vis a vis assertion and action. Then we will look at theories that attempt to understand action, and in particular intentional action, at least in part in terms of knowledge. We will think about Anscombe’s notion of practical knowledge, about what theoretical role it might play vis a vis skilled and intentional action, and about how it ought to be understood if it has to play such theoretical roles. We will discuss whether intelligent action is constitutively related to knowledge. Starting from Aristotle and Ryle, we will read about skills, know-how, and technai, with a glance at the recent literature, and we will think about some outstanding problems facing the so-called intellectualist legend.

Inhibition of glutaminolysis restores mitochondrial dysfunction in senescent stem cells

Mitochondrial dysfunction, one of the major aging hallmarks, has been associated with the onset of aging phenotypes and age-related diseases including Alzheimer’s, muscular dystrophy and diabetes. In this study, we found that impaired mitochondrial function was accompanied by increased glutamine catabolism in senescent/aged human mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and myofibroblasts derived from patients, suffering from Hutchison-Gilford progeria syndrome. Increased glutaminolysis induced urea accumulation, which further impaired mitochondrial respiratory function and caused DNA damage. In agreement with our in-vitro findings, tissues isolated from aged and progeria mice (an accelerated aging mice model), displayed increased urea accumulation and glutaminase (GLS1) activity, concomitant with declined mitochondrial function. Interestingly, GLS1 expression and glutaminolysis were regulated through the JNK pathway that was activated in senescent cells. Blocking JNK or GLS1 activity decreased urea accumulation, mitochondrial dysfunction and DNA damage in senescent MSCs. Furthermore, we examined the effects of CB-839 (GLS1 inhibitor) on progeria mice and observed decreased age-associated ROS and urea accumulation in the heart, skin and muscle, resulting in improved mitochondrial function. Hence, inhibition of GLS1 activity rejuvenated mitochondrial function and led to amelioration of aging hallmarks. In conclusion, our data provide novel insight into the mechanism, underlying metabolic reprogramming associated with cellular aging. Targeting glutamine metabolism and associated metabolites and byproducts may be a promising strategy to delay or reverse senescence.

Debanik Choudhury received his B.S. degree from Jadavpur University, India. He is currently a doctoral candidate in Dr. Stelios Andreadis’ Lab in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering (CBE) at the University at Buffalo (SUNY). His research focuses on the intersection of aging and metabolism to develop novel drug targets for amelioration of age-related disorders. Specifically, he is working on the role of the amino acids glutamine and proline in regulating mitochondrial function in mammalian age associated pathophysiology. To date, Debanik has co-authored four published journal manuscripts, with several more in review. He has won the AGE Travel Award from the American Aging Association (2022) and best research poster award at the CBE Graduate Research Symposium (2017). He is also currently serving as the Vice-President for CBE Graduate Student Association (GSA).

Developing eXplainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) Methods for the Molecular Sciences.

Powerful deep learning methods (e.g., deep neural networks or DNNs) are at the heart of data-driven chemical and materials discovery. However, these methods (especially DNNs) are inscrutable. Their opacity has rendered them black-box models and hampered the community’s trust in them. ‘eXplainable Artificial Intelligence’ (XAI) is a new branch of data science concerned with explaining black-box machine learning (ML) and AI models and their results. Therefore, we benchmark three inherently different XAI methods, namely Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME), deep SHapley Additive feature Explanations (deepSHAP), and Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP). We use these methods to explain the predictions of our DNNs for optical properties of small organic molecules. We validate their results and explore the uses and applications of such XAI methods to improve the case for DNNs in the chemical sciences. We qualitatively and quantitatively compare these methods and have created working implementations of these in our group’s ChemML software. Explaining the results of ML will add scientific value, improve trust in the community, and deepen our understanding of chemical behavior.

Aditya Sonpal is a Ph.D. Candidate in Dr. Johannes Hachmann’s research group at UB CBE. His research lies in the domain of chemical and materials discovery using a combination of molecular modeling, machine learning, and informatics. He believes in constantly pushing the boundaries to achieve higher levels of automation while implementing these methodologies. In addition to his research in deep eutectic solvents and ionic liquids, he has contributed to developing the Hachmann research group’s software ecosystem to democratize the use of these techniques in the molecular sciences. He has also developed explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) methods to open up the black box of deep neural networks and strengthen the case for using AI and ML techniques in the chemistry community. He has received his M.S. In Chemical and Biological Engineering from UB in 2018, and his B.E. in Chemical Engineering from Visveswaraya Technological University (Bengaluru, India) in 2016.

PhD Student Seminar

The EASM PhD Student Seminar is a two-day international seminar, taking place prior to the 2022 EASM Conference in Innsbruck on the 4th and 5th of September, 2022. The seminar aims at gathering doctoral students in the field of sport management from all over the world for mutual discussions, presentations of their research projects and feedback from senior scholars. Another important element is the creation of networks, that will hopefully encourage future joint research projects across nations and the establishment of fruitful social relations.

Application and Registration

The application period, started on the 8 th of April, 2022, has closed with 15th of May , as previously announced. First time attendees were given priority.

Since there were a very high number of applications of outstanding quality this year, EASM, the EASM PhD Student Seminar Project Lead, Ms. Chris Horbel, and the EASM 2022 Organising Committee have a agreed, to accept 20 PhD students in total , instead of a maximum of 15 PhD students, as advertised previously.

Our heartfelt congratulations to this achievement and we are very much looking forward to welcoming the successful PhD students to Innsbruck!

All successful candidates have already received their letter of acceptance and were requested to register for the seminar and the EASM Conference via the official event booking system. Deadline for registration is 26th of June, 2022. If no registration is made by that date, the spot will be made available for students on the waiting list.

The fee for participation in the EASM PhD Student Seminar 2022 is 670 EUR. Participation in the EASM PhD Student Seminar 2022 includes access to the 2022 EASM Conference in Innsbruck (full package).

For information and reference to the application process:  the application must include a short presentation (max. 400 words, excluding references) of the PhD project including the problem statement, research field, as well as theoretical and methodological considerations. Furthermore, applicants must indicate the name(s) of their supervisor(s), their institutional affiliation and the status of their project (e.g. at the beginning, halfway or at the end). The PhD project must have a sport management perspective. Please use the main conference’s standard scientific tracks as a yardstick whether your project falls within the sport management field, but feel free to contact Chris Horbel ( [email protected] ) in case you are unsure or would like to discuss in advance of submitting your application.

Please send your abstract and the required information via email to Chris Horbel ( [email protected] ) and Josef Fahlén ( [email protected] ).

Requirements for participation

Submission of short paper

In order to participate, the doctoral student is required to submit and present a short paper .

Paper presentations are an important part of the EASM PhD Student Seminar. The purpose is to give young scholars the opportunity to present their work and receive comprehensive feedback from senior scholars and fellow students. We do not expect fully finished papers. On the contrary, we encourage submitting ‘early-work-in-progress’ because this provides a good point of departure for subsequent revision and improvement before submitting the manuscript to a peer-reviewed journal or integrating it in the PhD thesis.

Papers can be a first draft of a journal article, a detailed description of the research project or a (method-)chapter for the dissertation. Papers must be written in English and should be between 2,000 and 3,000 words (without references) in length. A consistent reference style must be applied.

We encourage a focus on research design, methodology or philosophy of science. This implies less emphasis on comprehensive state-of-art literature review (what is going on in the specific research area) and thorough analysis (we assume this will be the next step). Our intention is, if possible, to discuss the early-phase of the PhD research projects. For second time seminar attendees: if a methodological paper was presented the first time you attended, you might move on to present a paper containing either your theoretical framework, a state-of-the-art literature review or an outline of your analysis.

Paper presentation and discussion

Each participant will get 30 minutes for the presentation and discussion of the paper. Participants should briefly introduce their papers/projects in a presentation of max. 10 minutes. This should include highlighting key questions to fellow seminar participants or focusing on a specific topic for subsequent discussion.

Prior to the seminar, all papers will be circulated among the participants and each participant will be assigned one paper in the role as main discussant. After the presentation by the author, the assigned discussant will provide comments and feedback and chair the subsequent round of questions and comments by other participants and the senior scholars.

We put great emphasis on a comfortable atmosphere to provide fruitful and constructive feedback to each presenter, which will hopefully support progress on everyone’s project. So please bear in mind that most participants are non-native English speakers. Over the years, the EASM PhD Student Seminar has build-up a great number of successful ‘alumni’. Also, fine international networks have been established.

Thank you for sharing your work with us!

Deadline for submission of the short paper is 5th of August,2022 . The short paper must be submitted via email to Chris Horbel ( [email protected] ) and Josef Fahlén ( [email protected] ). Within a week after submission deadline, papers will be circulated and roles as discussants assigned.

Contact information

Please do not hesitate to contact the Lead Coordinator of the EASM PhD Student Seminar, Chris Horbel ( [email protected] ), for any further academic information.

PhD Program

The Ph.D. program is designed to be completed in six years or less. 

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS

Breadth Requirements

The graduate curriculum covers a set of breadth requirements designed to provide both a common experience on which students can build their individual projects and a shared framework within which they can exchange ideas. In the first year, students will take at least one course in:

• metaphysics and epistemology
• history of philosophy
• moral philosophy
• 3 electives (any three graduate seminars in philosophy)

During their first year of study all students must pass a logic competency examination with a grade of B or better. The examination will cover material typically taught in a first course in formal logic. With approval from the Graduate Program Director completion of Philosophy 9, Introduction to Logic may be taken in lieu of the exam.

Ph.D. students must take a minimum of 12 graduate courses. Up to two courses may be taken from the offerings of other departments and up to two may be independent studies. Coursework is expected to be completed by the end of year two in the program. After year two, students engage in independent studies with faculty.

To facilitate the professionalization of students in the exchange and development of academic knowledge and skills, all first and second year doctoral students will be required to enroll in Philosophy 280 and 281 each quarter.

Philosophy 280 Graduate Colloquia Course provides preparation for and requires attendance at all department sponsored colloquia and works-in-progress presentations.

Philosophy 281 The Pedagogy of Philosophy will provide training in university-level teaching in general and in the pedagogy of philosophy specifically.

Language Requirement

The foreign language requirement will be individually determined based on the relevance of such linguistic skills to the research interests of the student. Proficiency can be demonstrated either by passing a written examination administered by the department or by successfully completing a language course approved by the graduate committee.

TA Requirement

PhD students are required to serve as a Teaching Assistant (TA) or a Graduate Student Instructor (GSI) at least one quarter in their academic career.

Qualifying Examination and Research Seminar

Near the end of the required coursework, doctoral students will develop a research project resulting in a substantial paper. The paper is required to enroll in the research seminar, Philosophy 270, which must be completed during or before winter quarter of the third year. The seminar will allow students to make substantial progress on a qualifying essay and cultivate their ability to assess and provide critical feedback on other author's philosophical work. Philosophy 270 is only offered in winter quarter and will normally be taken in the third year, though with permission of the instructor, it may be taken earlier than the third year. It is optional for M.A. students.

The qualifying examination, taken during the third year of enrollment, is centered on a qualifying essay that demonstrates the candidate's ability to do extended, dissertation-level research and analysis relevant to the proposed thesis topic and dissertation plan. The examination focuses on the student's research project and on the fields of scholarship it presupposes.

Within one year of passing the qualifying examination, i.e., usually during the fourth year, doctoral students will submit and defend a dissertation prospectus, consisting of some written foundation and a plan for completion of the dissertation. The committee for the prospectus defense is normally the dissertation committee.

Dissertation

The public defense and submission of a dissertation representing a contribution to philosophical research is the final requirement for the doctoral degree.

PhairywinD organises the 2022 EAWE PhD Seminar!

Press release | Bringing the 2022 EAWE PhD Seminar to Belgium

Press release – 15/02/2022

Historical Bruges (Belgium) is hosting the 2022 EAWE PhD Seminar this year, expecting to welcome over 100 PhD researchers from over the whole of Europe, interested in key-talks and presentations on wind energy. The organization this year is in the capable hands of the PhairywinD PhD group, 9 Belgian early stage researchers focusing on offshore wind energy.

Save the date: 02/11- 04/11/2022 – Bruges, BE

The European Academy of Wind Energy (EAWE) is an international community that promotes and supports the development of wind energy science with a focus on connecting expertise, facilitating knowledge exchange, and promoting interest in wind energy. It aims to be the independent scientific voice of European wind energy research.

EAWE yearly initiates a couple of important conferences on wind energy, with Torque and WESC being the biggest ones, attracting over 1000 participants worldwide. Their annual PhD seminar, however, aims primarily at early stage researchers and wants to be an accessible event where PhD students and supervisors from all over Europe can easily exchange information and experience on research in wind energy. Therefore, the seminar is small-scale and it is organized for PhDs by PhDs!

Unique this year are the organization team and the location. First off, the team is comprised of 9 PhD researchers from different universities. Traditionally, the seminar is hosted by one host institute, but this time the collaboration within the PhairywinD project means we span the entire country and our PhDs have the support of all of the Belgian knowledge institutes working on wind energy, a unique starting position! Secondly, we will host the seminar in historical Bruges, which has a perfect location near the Belgian coast (and the option to visit the expanding offshore wind farms) and has many selling-points as a conference town for foreign visitors.

The organization team is now preparing a fascinating 3-day programme, filled with key-note speeches, PhD presentations, site visits, academic-industrial collaboration activities and social events. The seminar website is up and running at https://phd2022.eawe.eu/ and the call for abstracts will be launched soon. In the meantime, we also invite you all to follow our progress via the PhairywinD website and social media channels.

The entire team is grateful to have won the seminar bid for 2022 and is looking forward to an exciting year of planning, organizing and managing this event to make it the best edition yet!

Stay tuned for more news soon.

The PhairywinD team
