APSE Talk by Peter Vickers on June 1st

by Franziska Reinhard

Dear all, we cordially invite you to the next talk of the APSE lecture series, delivered by Peter Vickers (Durham University). Title: The Institute of Ascertaining Scientific Consensus, or, How to Measure Scientific Community Opinion and Influence People When/Where: Thursday, June 1^st , 3-5pm, HS 2H, NIG Abstract: A solid, international scientific consensus is the best signal humanity ever gets that a specific scientific statement articulates an “established scientific fact”. It is thus surprising that there currently exists no good way to measure the strength of scientific consensus regarding a specific statement of interest. Indeed, scientists themselves don’t know when a claim can be called a ‘fact’ (as Ernst Mayr used to complain, and as one IPCC author recently complained). A good method for quickly, efficiently assessing mass scientific opinion is urgently needed, especially given the rise in ‘fake news’ and misleading information in the public sphere. Perhaps most significantly of all, recent studies have demonstrated the power of expert-community consensus information to correct misconceptions of laypersons, and, crucially, impact upon relevant choices and actions of those laypersons (such as getting vaccinated against COVID-19). The Institute for Ascertaining Scientific Consensus (IASC) seeks to become humanity’s premier means for measuring scientific community opinion on a given statement of interest. In June 2023 it conducts its first mass survey, targeting 20,000 scientists across 30 different academic institutions. Best wishes, Franziska Reinhard (on behalf of the APSE unit)

APSE Talk - Ariane Hanemaayer - 25.5. - Where it hurts: Making Pain Medicine

by Sophie Juliane Veigl

Dear all, we cordially invite you to the upcoming talk of the APSE - lecture series, delivered by Ariane Hanemaayer (Brandon University) Title: Where it hurts: Making Pain Medicine When/Where: 25.5., 15-17pm, HS 2H If you are interested in joining us for dinner/drinks afterwards, write me an email (sophie.juliane.veigl(a)univie.ac.at)! everyone welcome! Abstract: What makes pain problematic? The nature of pain is contested, and over the 20th century, researchers from biomedical fields as diverse as surgery, anesthesiology, physiology, and neurology have sought to develop a unified theory to represent its causes and effects. In the clinic, the status of pain is subjective. Over the last century, many efforts have been made to raise awareness of the under-examined aspects of pain and to objectify it through the standardization of its measurement. There remains, however, a gap between the knowledge of and intervention on pain that has troubled the evidence-based medicine paradigm. In this presentation I explain the nature of this gap as a result of particular discursive and institutional relations. In particular, I focus on the rise of clinical pain measurement scales alongside the professionalization of the subspecialty of pain medicine. Drawing on material from a broader genealogical project on the biomedical sciences of pain, I argue that the techniques of pain management were developed in relation to a particular shift in the notion of clinical judgment within the medical discourse. I will situate this knowledge development within the broader societal and institutional events that rendered pain problematic, focusing on the establishment of the first pain clinic in the USA and the International Society for the Study of Pain. Kind regards, Sophie Veigl on behalf of the APSE-Unit -- Dr. Sophie Juliane Veigl, BSc., BA., MSc., MA.

Call for Participation - InterGender Course ""Learning to Read Differently" - October 2023

by Institut für Philosophie

Dear all, together with several people all over the university and Manu Sharma from our own institute, I am organizing an InterGender – International Consortium for Interdisciplinary Feminist Research Training course for PhD and late stage MA students, which will happen in October and is entitled "Learning to Read Differently". You can even get 7,5 or 10 ECTS credits for it! Here's a short description: Much academic work relies on existing texts and their interpretation. As scholars, we necessarily build on these knowledges transmitted to us by others in order to try to better understand power relations and their modes of action, to form our own arguments based on the texts, to make sense of certain social phenomena and to contribute to thinking_feeling about the world. All too often, this process of reading becomes so normalized that we hardly think about the consequences and premises of these practices of reading themselves. Therefore, we want to dedicate this PhD and MA course to the goal of “Learning to Read Differently”. Throughout the course, we will engage not only with how we read “texts” as they are commonly understood, but also with how we interpret the fabric of reality and the situations and phenomena we encounter in our research and beyond. Together, we want to explore what we choose to read or not to read, as well as the political implications that arise from these practices. Thus, the course aims to support participants in exercising reading practices and research methods that enable them to critically reflect upon the “standard” practices usually governed by white euro-anglo-centric academia, to challenge them, and to try out different approaches. Deadline for application is June 18, 2023. We invite all those who are interested to apply, and are happy if you also widely share this call with others! All the best, Flora -- Flora Löffelmann, MA MA University assistant & doctoral candidate Department of Philosophy at University of Vienna Pronouns: they/them (for more info see: https://www.mypronouns.org/what-and-why/) Happy about a gender neutral "hello"!

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.
