DESCRIPTION:The human mind grows and develops in a
 n environment rich with material and symbolic prac
 tices and other patterns of social interaction. Fr
 om the moment we are born, we begin to learn how t
 o adapt our behaviour to this richly structured de
 velopmental environment. The cognitive capacities 
 that emerge out of this developmental process are 
 the joint product of human nature and nurture. How
  should we understand this process of enculturatio
 n? More specifically how can the patterns of socia
 l interaction, preferences, presuppositions and ex
 pectations that define a cultural practice exert a
  causal influence on our behaviour? This interdisc
 iplinary workshop will draw on research from philo
 sophy, cognitive science and the social sciences t
 o address these and other questions. We will focus
  in particular on the domains of mathematical cogn
 ition, social cognition and communication.  Speake
 rs: Tad Zawidzki (Georgetown); Richard Menary (Mac
 quarie); Catarina Duthil Novaes (Groningen); Marc 
 Slors (Nijmegen); Julian Kiverstein (ILLC).  To re
