Beyond Rationality II – Oxford, MS

July 7, 2010toJuly 9, 2010

The University of Mississippi’s Center for Intelligence and Security Studies (CISS) and the London School of EconomicsCentre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science (CNSS) are pleased to host the second Beyond Rationality Workshop July 7-9, 2010.

The Beyond Rationality Workshop series is a project of the CNSS at the London School of Economics in collaboration with the CISS at the University of Mississippi. The first workshop was held in London on November 21, 2009.

The recent banking crisis and the rise of religious fundamentalism as a political cause have prompted people to reflect on the seeming irrationality of thinking relevant to these events. These examples join a host of other occasions when the thoughts and actions of people seem to be irrational.  Drawing on the notion that “one person’s irrationality is another’s rationality,” this event explores the boundaries of ‘rationality’ from different points of view as illuminated by philosophical or psychological studies such as akrasia, weakness of will, and formal fallacies.

Beyond Rationality II aims to continue the exploration of the meaning of ideas related to rationality in discussions of contemporary  problems such as economic decisions, the recruitment of jihadists, terrorism,  the banking crisis, risk assessment, conflict resolution, and the climate change debate.

Internet Law Works in Progress; Internet Filtering – Santa Clara, CA

March 4, 2011toMarch 5, 2011

The High Tech Law Institute at Santa Clara University School of Law and the Institute for Information Law and Policy at New York Law School are pleased to announce a new annual work-in-progress series for Internet law scholarship. We hope the series will provide a gathering place for Internet law scholars as well as a forum for Internet law scholars to get feedback on their scholarly projects at an early stage of their research. The first annual event will be held at Santa Clara University on March 5, 2011. We will send a request for submissions later in the year. We are still developing the event’s format, and we welcome your input about what type of structure will be most useful for your research.

In conjunction with the work-in-progress event, on March 4, 2011, Santa Clara University will host an academic symposium celebrating the 15 year anniversary of 47 USC 230 ["private blocking and screening of offensive material"]. The symposium will feature some of the key historical players, including Ken Zeran as a keynote speaker, as well as some of the latest research about the statute. If you are currently doing research on 47 USC 230, please contact me.

The first annual event will be held at Santa Clara University on March 5, 2011. We will send a request for submissions later in the year. We are still developing the event’s format, and we welcome your input about what type of structure will be most useful for your research.

In conjunction with the work-in-progress event, on March 4, 2011, Santa Clara University will host an academic symposium celebrating the 15 year anniversary of 47 USC 230 ["private blocking and screening of offensive material"]. The symposium will feature some of the key historical players, including Ken Zeran as a keynote speaker, as well as some of the latest research about the statute. If you are currently doing research on 47 USC 230, please contact me.

Regards, Eric.
