The University of Nebraska-Lincoln will be hosting the second annual Midwest Epistemology Workshop. The workshop is an annual event where epistemologists present and discuss recently completed work or work in progress that is close to completion. All epistemologists (regardless of geographical location) are welcome to attend.
It will take place October 17-18, 2008, on the campus of UNL. Tyler Burge (UCLA) will be giving the keynote address.
The second workshop consists of eight nonconcurrent sessions, each involving a presentation of approximately 40 minutes followed by 40 minutes of discussion. Workshop papers will be made available to participants in advance of the workshop. Other than Burge, this year's presenters included Mike Bergmann (Purdue), Andy Egan (Michigan), Adam Leite (Indiana), Peter Markie (Missouri), Brit Brogaard (Missouri-St. Louis), Jonathan Weinberg (Indiana), Juan Comesaña (Wisconsin).
MEW2 is supported by the Chambers Research Fund, the UNL College of Arts and Sciences, the UNL Philosophy Department, and the Cedric Evans Memorial Lecture Fund.
