2020 SILFS Prize for Women in Logic and the Philosophy of Science

Società Italiana di Logica e Filosofia delle Scienze


The Evaluation Committee for the 2020 SILFS Prize for Women in Logic
and the Philosophy of

Science was composed of:


Cristina Amoretti (Università di Genova)

Margherita Benzi (Università del Piemonte Orientale)

Raffaella Campaner (Università di Bologna)

Elena Casetta (Università di Torino)

Agata Ciabattoni (Technische Universität Wien)

Giovanna Corsi (Università di Bologna)

Luisa Damiano (Università di Messina)

Laura Felline (Independent researcher)

Eleonora Montuschi (Università di Venezia, Cà Foscari)

Sara Negri (Università di Genova)

Federica Russo (University of Amsterdam)

Viola Schiaffonati (Politecnico di Milano)


To evaluate the 25 proposals received, the following procedure was adopted:


1. Paper bidding. All members of the Evaluation Committee read all the
25 abstracts indicating a

minimum of 3 preferences for the review. To begin with, each paper had
a single reviewer.


2. Review. Each paper was reviewed on the basis of the following
criteria, with a score from 1

(poor) to 5 (excellent):


1. Constructive character of the proposed thesis;

2. Originality of the proposed thesis, understood as the ability to
open new spaces for

discussion within existing debates or create new fields of
philosophical interest;

3. Argumentation accuracy;

4. Breadth of the literature considered, also with regard to
scientific production that goes

beyond Anglo-American literature.


The 5 papers that obtained the highest score have passed to the second
round of reviewing.


3. Collective discussion. The 5 finalists were evaluated by all the
members of the Evaluation

Committee according to the above criteria, also taking into account
the different degree of

confidence of the various members.


At the end of the evaluation process, two papers were equally worthy:


Anne Sophie Meincke, A Process View of Pregnancy


Since Aristotle, substances have enjoyed a sort of ontological
primacy, and this has shaped

our language and thought. Anne Sophie Meincke asks us to look at the
world around us in

terms of processes rather than entities, and thus at a pregnant
individual as a process – a

“bifurcating hypercomplex process”. This innovative perspective
appears able to open

promising research directions and generate fruitful debates, not only
in the domain of the

metaphysics of pregnancy, but also in the fields of philosophy of
biology, ethics and

bioethics.


Anela Lolic, Towards the Analysis of Mathematical Proofs:
Cut-Elimination and Herbrand's

Theorem in Presence of Induction


The work proposed by Anela Lolic belongs to an emerging research line,
dedicated to the

analysis of mathematical proofs based on the methods of structural
theory of proof. The

work is characterized by originality, a remarkable formal
sophistication and an expert fusion

of established methods of mathematical logic and recent methodologies.


After careful discussion, the Evaluation Committee decided to award
the ex-aequo prize to the

two authors above, who are therefore both winners in all respects.


Part of the award would be to participate as keynote speaker at the
Triennial International

Conference of the Italian Society for Logic and Philosophy of Science
with the reimbursement of

travel and accommodation expenses (up to a maximum of 1500 euros).

Com efeito, a SILFS distribui uma série de prêmios periódicos e já
havíamos conversado em particular sobre o "Premio SILFS per le donne
in Logica e Filosofia delle scienze" aqui na lista em Novembro do ano
passado, então achei que valeria a pena divulgar aqui o resultado.

Vale notar que Anela (que foi orientanda de Leitsch e Baaz, na
TU-Wien, e agora trabalha lá como pós-doc no grupo de Bancos de Dados
e IA do Stefan Woltran) já havia ganho também um prêmio da L‘Oréal
Österreich no ano passado:
https://www.tuwien.at/en/tu-wien/news/news-articles/news/loreal-stipendium-fuer-anela-lolic/

A TU-Wien também instituiu, há um par de anos, a "Helmut Veith Stipend
for Women in Computer Science", em homenagem ao gentil colega que
perdemos demasiado cedo:
https://forsyte.at/helmut-veith-stipend/
Noto que a data anual para candidaturas é 30 de Novembro. Creio que o
nome da vencedora do prêmio deste ano ainda não foi divulgado.

Car@s,


Muito apreciei um dos critérios, o qual, por coincidência ou não, retrata um dos pontos pelos quais tenho me batido há anos:

"Breadth of the literature considered, also with regard to scientific production that goes beyond Anglo-American literature.".

paradigma anglo-americano,  perdoem-me  os que dele vivem,, não é o único parâmetro do universo acadêmico .

Abraços,

Walter
