7 - 8 June 2022, Rudolf Carnap Lectures & Graduate Workshop 2022, Bochum (Germany) & Virtual

It's an honor and a pleasure to host Cecilia Heyes in Bochum as our Rudolf-Carnap Lecturer 2022! Prof. Heyes' work concerns the evolution of cognition. It explores the ways in which natural selection, learning, developmental and cultural processes combine to produce the mature cognitive abilities found in adult humans. She is especially interested in social cognition. Most of her current projects examine the possibility that the neurocognitive mechanisms enabling cultural inheritance - social learning, imitation, mirror neurons, mind reading etc - are themselves products of cultural evolution.

Cecilia Heyes will give three keynote talks (also available via online streaming). Additionally, there will be selected talks by Stephen Butterfill and many more.
