AHRC Spinoza Research Network
Dundee Philosophy is pleased to announce the Spinoza Research Network. This network of researchers, focusing on interdisciplinary connections in the work of Baruch Spinoza, features a website, two conferences in 2009 and 2010, and other events.
Royal Society of Edinburgh Research Network Grant for the Arts and Humanities
We are pleased to announce the receipt of this award, which will fund the project “Engendering Dialogue: feminist thought and contemporary debates in art, science, and education”. The project will use three symposia and a dedicated Network website to build links between feminist philosophers and researchers and practitioners in key areas of debate in the contemporary Scottish context. By targeting debates in education, the visual arts, and cognitive science (a field in which Scottish HEIs have an internationally recognised expertise), the Network will increase awareness of the significance of gender in key areas of intellectual and cultural production as well as in the development of educational practices.
The project will involve key contemporary thinkers including Dr Christine Battersby (Reader Emerita, University of Warwick), Professor Tina Chanter (University of DePaul, Chicago), and Professor Mike Wheeler (University of Stirling), and will draw on the expertise of Dr Aislinn O’Donnell (University of Limerick) and Dr Graeme Nixon (University of Aberdeen) in Philosophy of Education and Mary Modeen (Duncan of Jordanstone) in Fine Art. The project will be launched in September 2010 and will run over a two year period. For further information or to be added to the email list for the project, please contact Dr Rachel Jones.
