CfA Workshop: New Perspectives on Anomalies in the Sciences

[Maria Martinez-Ordaz]

Na UFRJ estamos organizando um workshop que explora a natureza das anomalias científicas --principalmente levando em conta os avanços ocorridos nas últimas décadas tanto na lógica não clássica aplicada ao estudo das ciências, quanto na história e sociologia da ciência e ciências cognitivas.

O evento acontecerá na UFRJ, nos dias 5 e 6 de outubro, 2023.

Workshop: New Perspectives on Anomalies in the Sciences

Deadline for submissions: August 5, 2023.

Notification of acceptance: August 10, 2023.

Conference dates: October 5 and 6, 2023.

Location: Instituto de Filosofia e Ciências Sociais - IFCS/UFRJ

Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, BRA.

Keynote speakers:Otavio Bueno (University of Miami), Décio Krause (UFRJ), Itala Loffredo D'Ottaviano (Unicamp).

The workshop welcomes formal and informal contributions on anomalies in scientific disciplines -- with a special focus on novel ways to characterize, reconstruct, and explain anomalies in different areas of scientific research.  Topics include, but are not limited to the following:

• The ontological status of anomalies (the nature of anomalies in science, the limits of scientific research programs). 
• The epistemological significance of anomalies (their relation with ignorance, knowledge, and scientific understanding).
• The role of logic(s) in handling anomalies in science (distinct inferential mechanisms that could underlie the phenomenon of handling anomalies in the sciences, formal reconstructions of historical anomalies).
• The social and cultural dimensions of anomalies (how scientific communities respond to new evidence, how scientific communities respond to anomalies)
• The methodological challenges of studying anomalies (the methodological challenges involved in identifying, studying, and interpreting anomalies in different scientific disciplines).

SUBMISSIONS:

Abstracts should be 200-500 words (+ references), prepared for blind review, and include an indication of what type of submission is intended (either oral presentation or poster).

Abstracts should be submitted via email to: anomal...@gmail.com

Deadline: August 5, 2023.
