Dear all,
I would like to cordially invite you to the first Trans*Formations
event! Trans Philosophy is one of the most exciting 'new' strands of
philosophical theorizing, and we are happy to host the first event on
the topic at the University of Vienna.
First, Luce deLire (formerly John Hopkins University,
https://getaphilosopher.com/) will give the talk "Can The Transsexual
Speak?".
Abstract: On September 14, 2021 Ella Nik Bayan set herself on fire at
Berlin Alexanderplatz, Germany. She died shortly after. On February 2,
2024, the German government will most probably pass a new
'Self-Determination Law' (Selbstbestimmungsgesetz) which promises to
simplify transition related changes of name and gender identity markers
in legal documents. In my talk, I use these two examples to present what
I call 'the transsexual contract': Trans and non-binary self
determination is (often violently) incapacitated by means of concrete
legal, political and epistemological arrangements. This is the case even
in left wing art, activism and allegedly 'progressive' legislation.
Allegedly, the transsexual contract protects cis people from trans
propaganda and from their own confusion. Yet in reality, its main goal
is the production and control of cis people. One is not born cis, but
becomes cis. With a post-colonial lens, I suggest queer hospitality as a
concrete practice to unlearn this toxic logic of protection.
After a Q&A with Luce deLire, we will watch the film "Die Räuberinnen"
(2023) by Austrian filmmaker Isa Schieche, who recently also received
the Goldene Medusa Award for this film.(More Info:
https://isaschieche.com/Die-Rauberinnen)
The talk will be in English, the film is in German with English
subtitles.
There will be popcorn, snacks and drinks to round off the event!
When? Tuesday, January 16th, 2024 from 15:00 to 16:30
Where? HS 3F, Institute of Philosophy, NIG (Universitätsstraße 7, 1010
Vienna)
Looking forward to seeing you on January 16th!
Any sharing of the event is highly appreciated, and the poster for the
event is attached to this email.
Please do not hesitate to contact me concerning any accessibility needs
or questions!
With warm greetings,
Flora Löffelmann

> In the philosophy of science, recent work has led to an emerging
> consensus that science is not value-free, and that values, including

> process. It has also become clear that, values can have both a
> positive and a negative impact on science. Sometimes, values can
> contribute to science’s epistemic and social goals, while other times,
> they can have a detrimental effect on science’s epistemic goals, i.e.,
> biasing research results. With this framework in mind, the main goal
> of this workshop is to clarify the negative roles of values in
> scientific research, and in particular their sometimes-biasing
> effects. While it is well-known that biases impact scientific research
> results, we have a less clear understanding of the different types of

> We welcome submissions that seek to advance our understanding of
> negative biases and their effects in scientific research. Questions
> that might be addressed include (but are not limited to):
>
> * In which situations are biases most likely to occur?
> * Which mechanisms enable biases to interfere with scientific
> practice? Are these mechanisms intrinsic to scientific practices

> * What relationship(s) do biases have to values in science? Do

CfP: ECPR General Conference 2024 | University College Dublin | Section
of the Standing Group on Kantian Political Thought
The ECPR Standing Group on Kantian Political Thought is delighted to
announce that its application for a section on "Kant, Science and
Politics" as part of the ECPR General Conference (University College
Dublin, 12-15 August 2024) has been successful, and 6 panels have been
allocated to the Section.
As a result, paper and panel proposals for the section "Kant, Science
and Politics" are now invited. Paper proposals may either be submitted
as part of one of the five suggested panels below or as part of a new
panel on a topic related to that of the section. The aim of this section
is to examine Kant's view of a practical metaphysics (both in ethics and
politico-juridical philosophy) that is on the secure path of science;
the following are suggested panel topics:
* The Relation Between Theoretical and Practical Cognitions
* Kant's Conception of Moral Theory as a Philosophical Science
* The "Land of Truth" - The Political Language of Scientific Truth
* Autonomy and the Moral Law
* Science and Racism - Kant's Anthropology and the Need for
Reorientation of Kant Scholarship
You may find further details on the section here: Kant, Science and
Politics (ecpr.eu) [1].
If you are interested, please send an Expression of Interest with a
short outline of your paper (max. 500 words) or, if applicable, of the
proposed panel to jakob.rendl(a)univie.ac.at and s.baiasu(a)keele.ac.uk by
11 January 2024, or contact us for more information.
All welcome!

Dear all,
on behalf of the APSE Group (Applied Philosophy of Science and
Epistemology), I would like to remind you about the talk by Aleksandra
Derra (Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland), which will
happen ONLINE tomorrow, December 14th, 2023 from 15:00 - 17:00.
Please find the abstract & link below!
Please also forward this invite to others who could be interested.
Title: Another Science is Possible. The Role of Feminist Theory in
Building Socially Responsible Scientific Knowledge
Londa Schiebinger, in her book entitled ‘Has Feminism Changed Science’
(2001), has shown how the growing number of female scientists gradually
transformed specific fields of science. Following her reasoning, I want
to point out how feminist theories influence the way we think about
science in the philosophy of science and science and technology studies
today, and additionally indicate how the critical feminist approach
affects the priorities, methodologies, and aims of the particular fields
of knowledge.
In the first step, following Janet Kourany, I will explain what a
socially responsible philosophy of science is. Then I will show what it
means to adopt a feminist perspective in science and to include a gender
perspective in research. Then, I will present research results that
indicate that science as an institution is entangled in broader cultural
processes that perpetuate stereotypes (e.g. Draw a Scientist experiment,
visualization of a female scientist, the role of material culture).
Finally, I will present two examples of building complementary, socially
responsible scientific knowledge, enriched with a critical feminist
perspective: neurofeminism and data feminism.
