Annual Midwest Epistemology Workshop
The Midwest Epistemology Workshop (MEW) aims to advance interest in epistemology by organizing an annual workshop for the presentation and discussion of current work in the field. MEW also aims to establish a sense of community among epistemologists in the region that stimulates new research, improves its quality, and facilitates its dissemination. To this end, the workshop will be organized to encourage as much discussion and interaction as possible among the participants. Although workshops will typically be hosted by a college or university in the Midwest, all philosophers with an interest in epistemology are invited and encouraged to attend.
Saint Louis University will be hosting the third annual Midwest Epistemology Workshop. The workshop will take place September 25th and 26th, 2009. The keynote speaker will be Duncan Pritchard, University of Edinburgh.
We are delighted to announce that we now have sponsors for the Midwest Epistemology Workshop through MEW6 (2012):
MEW3 (2009): St. Louis University, John Greco.
MEW4 (2010): Purdue University, Matthias Steup.
