WORKSHOP INVITATION Pragmatic-Academic Event (VDP and UPsalon): "Combatting Gendered Exclusions - Good Practices for Philosophers"

by Institut für Philosophie

Dear all, UPsalon and the Vienna Doctoral School of Philosophy cordially invite you to a jointly organized pragmatic-academic event: "Combatting Gendered Marginalization and Exclusion - Good Practices for Philosophers". The workshop will be facilitated by Stephanie Deig (University of Lucerne). When: May 23rd, 4-6pm Where: VinziRast-Lokal mittendrin This workshop is open to persons of all genders working and studying at all levels of the department. We especially invite people with extensive teaching experience to share their perspectives and experiences on gendered exclusions and bystanding in academic settings. Please sign up to the workshop via the following link: https://forms.gle/6Dw4oDWibNCWCRTX7 Note that we only have 20 open spots; we will allocate them via a “first come, first serve” system. Brief workshop description: “The field of academic philosophy has a serious problem with the under-representation of women as well as persons who do not identify with the gender assigned to them at birth. This is due to structural forms of gendered marginalization and exclusion that create unsafe and harmful environments. In the first part of this workshop, participants will be introduced to how specific mechanisms, such as implicit bias, stereotype threat, as well as sexual and moral harassment manifest within philosophical settings: working, teaching, and learning, and how transforming certain conditions and practices could help combat them. In the second half of the workshop, participants will be given a theoretical introduction to bystander interventions and be encouraged (but not required) and given space to share their own experiences relevant to these questions to create awareness and discuss potential strategies that could be enacted locally. We will conclude by using these experiences as a basis for discussion about how bystanders can safely and productively intervene in instances of gendered wrongdoings. Even though the workshop focuses on gender-based exclusions, the convener seeks to create a space for discussing marginalization from an intersectional perspective." If you have a topic that you’d particularly like to discuss or are interested in contributing to the workshop, please contact Stephanie Deig at: stephanie.deig(a)unilu.ch Stephanie Deig, MA, is a PhD Candidate at the University of Lucerne. She is a co-founder of two organizations that have worked to combat gendered inequalities in the academic field of philosophy in Switzerland and is active as a board member with The Society for Women* in Philosophy Switzerland." Here you can find the link to the Good Practice Guide that Stephanie bases the presentation on (it is in DE and EN). https://www.swipswitzerland.org/good-practice-guide+ And here the event description on our website: https://upsalon.univie.ac.at/events/ Kind regards, Sonja (on behalf of UPsalon) -- Sonja Riegler, BA BA MA She/They Prae Doc Philosophy University of Vienna

Conference: International Planning for Freedom. Otto Neurath's democratic planning theory in the context of the climate crisis. June 12-13

by Elisabeth Nemeth

Liebe Kolleg*innen, liebe Freund*innen, wir möchten Euch herzlich zu unserer Konferenz "International Planning for Freedom. Otto Neuraths demokratische Planungstheorie im Kontext der Klimakrise" einladen. ELisabeth Nemeth & Günther Sandner (Organisator*innen) Dear colleagues, dear friends, we would like to cordially invite you to our conference "International Planning for Freedom. Otto Neurath's democratic planning theory in the context of the climate crisis". Elisabeth Nemeth & Günther Sandner (organisers) International Conference: International Planning for Freedom. Otto Neurath's democratic planning theory in the context of the climate crisis A cooperation between Institute Vienna Circle (University of Vienna), Vienna Circle Society (Vienna), Chamber of Labor (Vienna), FWF Project Isotype. Origin, development, legacy (P 31500), Wien Museum. Only a few years ago it was hardly imaginable that demands for planned economy measures would be raised and publicly discussed again. Now the time has come. Ulrike Herrmann's book "Das Ende des Kapitalismus. Warum Wachstum und Klimaschutz nicht vereinbar sind – und wie wir in Zukunft leben werden" (2022) is a bestseller. Her central thesis is discussed in numerous public media: The transition from growth-dependent capitalism to a social and ecological circular economy will only be possible through a "private planned economy". What she understands by this has striking similarities with the ideas of economic planning that Otto Neurath conceived even before the First World War and continued to develop until the end of his life in 1945. An important point of reference for Neurath was Josef Popper-Lynkeus. The latter justified the demand for overall social planning with a radically individualistic ethic. Seen from today, this combination is surprising and inspiring - not least because Popper-Lynkeus and Neurath were among the first to introduce ecological viewpoints into economics. A highlight of the conference will be the screening of the film "Land of Promise" (UK 1946). The film was conceived by Neurath as a "film argument" and directed by Paul Rotha. It argues for combating the housing shortage in post-war England with extensively planned housing programme. The arguments put forward in the film bear a remarkable resemblance to the arguments Ulrike Herrmann puts forward today for a "private planned economy" as a transition to a circular economy.

CEU event: The Problem of Evil, Jorge Secada, 9th May

by Sigrid Preissl

Dear all Jorge Secada will give a talk at CEU on 9th May: The Problem of Evil Abstract The paper first suggests a problem threatening any version of the problem of evil (that is, or arguments purporting to show that either God cannot exist or that it is improbable that God exists, given the existence of evil or of some particular instance of evil). The ultimate aim of the paper is to recast replies to the problem of evil away from theodicies or justifications.
