Cognitive Futures in the Humanities: A One-Day Symposium funded by the AHRC
Saturday 28 April 2012 Northumbria University, Newcastle
How have the arts and humanities responded to the cognitive science revolution? How far have we evolved new knowledge and models in areas such as literary, aesthetic and historical analysis in connection with cognitive paradigms? What future possibilities lie open for the analysis of culture and cultural objects using concepts from cognitive science?
Speakers include:
· Alan Richardson (Boston College)
· Mark Turner (Case Western Reserve)
· David Miall (University of Alberta)
· Ellen Spolsky (Bar Ilan University)
This symposium marks the launch of a new AHRC-funded interdisciplinary network for researchers working across the cognitive sciences and the arts and humanities. Attendance is free; all welcome.
