AID is the new forum for interdisciplinary conversation coordinated,
by the Centre of Excellence in the Philosophy of the Social Sciences, University of Helsinki, Finland.
http://www.helsinki.fi/tint/aid.htm
Pursuing a conversational culture that is both leisurely and rigorous,
AID explores disciplinary identities and interdisciplinary relations
by focusing on specific topics, viewed from different disciplinary
perspectives. You will learn general lessons about interdisciplinarity
even though you might not be desperately interested in the topic of
the day.
For future sessions, topics that are being considered include social
theory and social ontology, climate change, religion and science,
realism, the role of biology in the social sciences, and more. If you
have suggestions, please send to <uskali.maki@helsinki.fi>.
