22 - 24 July 2024, MCMP Summer School for Widening Participation in Mathematical Philosophy, Munich, Germany

Following a series of eight successful MCMP-organized summer schools on mathematical philosophy for female students, the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy (MCMP) will this year broaden its offering, with a summer school for women and members of other groups that are under-represented in formal philosophy. These groups include under-represented gender identities, races and ethnicities, people with disabilities, people from low income and non-academic family backgrounds.

The school's aim is to encourage students to engage with mathematical and scientific approaches to philosophical problems, and thereby help to redress the under-representation of women and other marginalized groups in formal philosophy. It offers the opportunity for study in an informal and interdisciplinary setting, for lively debate, and for the development of a network of students and professors interested in the application of formal methods to philosophy. This edition of the summer school will feature lectures by: Jingyi Wu (LSE): “Models of Diversity and Injustice” Sara Uckelman (Durham University): “What History of Logic Can Teach Us About the Future of Logic”. In addition, there will be an evening lecture by Barbara Vetter (FU Berlin): “First-generation philosophers: why they matter, and how to support them”.
