Conference on Concepts
NC State’s Logic and Cognitive Science Initiative has organized a conference on Concepts for September 20-21. For further information, see http://www.ncsu.edu/chass/philo/phil_activities.html.
Miroslav Losonsky will be replacing Jim Sias (who is now Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Dickinson College) as ECOM’s new coordinator. Heartfelt thanks to Jim for his work for ECOM in the past three years, and a warm welcome to Miroslav!
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, hosted a “Mind, Language, and Logic” workshop on May 30-31, 2013. Participants included ECOM director Dorit Bar-On, ECOM faculty member Bill Lycan, and ECOM student member Mike Deigan (as well as three other members of UNC’s philosophy department: Keith Simmons, Luke Elson, and Wesley Sauret).
ECOM student member Mike Deigan recently accepted an offer of admission to the graduate program in philosophy at Yale University. He is deferring admission to Yale for two years so that he can complete the B.Phil. program at the University of Oxford. Congratulations, Mike!
