    MemoriEs: Contemporary Discussions in the Philosophy of Memory (Discusiones Contemporáneas en Filosofía de la Memoria)


    International Online Symposium (in Spanish)


    The Philosophy of Memory is an evolving and increasingly popular field that has recently garnered significant attention. Even though many memory researchers speak Spanish as either their native or second language, there aren't enough academic events specifically dedicated to the Philosophy of Memory in this language. MemoriEs aims to be an interdisciplinary event that brings together Spanish-speaking researchers, PhD students, and undergraduates from various fields (such as philosophy, psychology, anthropology, and historical memory) to participate in discussions on the most relevant contemporary topics in the Philosophy of Memory.

    • University of Sydney - hybrid

    The Australasian Association for Logic will hold its annual conference in hybrid format (using Zoom for the online component) from Tuesday 26 November to Thursday 28 November, 2024. The physical location will be the University of Sydney in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The conference aims to bring together logicians, either based in Australasia or with the desire to connect with logicians based in Australasia, working in mathematical, computational, or philosophical logic. The conference is intended to provide a platform for presentation and exchange of ideas. Thus, we invite contributions in all areas of logic, especially if you would like to advertise your best results to logicians outside your own subfield. We welcome published or unpublished work.

    • Macquarie University

    Hosted by Department of Philosophy and the Agency & Ethics Research Centre at Macquarie University

    This conference will focus on biological individuality from an evolutionary perspective, addressing topics ranging from the origins of life and complex organisms to the development of animal cognition. We have invited both theoretical and experimental biologists, alongside philosophers, to foster cross-pollination between the disciplines. We also hope this conference will not only bridge philosophy and biology but also advance our understanding of major evolutionary transitions.

    Engaging individuals, engaging communities: Equity, marginalisation, and inclusion in health

    The Australian Centre for Health Engagement, Evidence and Values (ACHEEV) warmly invites you to our 2024 symposium; “Engaging individuals, engaging communities: Equity, marginalisation and inclusion in health”.

    This year our symposium will offer a valuable opportunity to explore innovative research methods that engage directly with individuals and communities to address health challenges affecting marginalized groups.

    Bringing together scholars from a range of disciplines—including bioethics, psychology, public health, digital health, sociology, social work, and social policy—we will examine both conceptual and methodological issues in health research.

    Key topics include inclusive research practices and co-production, balancing the needs of individuals and communities, and understanding identities within the context of intersectionality. Join us in these important discussions aimed at advancing health research for those most in need.

    Registration Details

    Attendance is free but space is limited so please register by 29 November 2024 EOB.
