[FOM] MWPMW 8

[Michael Detlefsen]

Hi, Martin, and thanks for the note. I would appreciate your posting  
the announcement on FOM. Here's a version sans the mailing list:

Best,

Mic

===================

Dear Friends & Colleagues,

This is an invitation to the eighth annual Midwest PhilMath Workshop  
(MWPMW 8), to be held at Notre Dame the weekend of Saturday, October  
27th and Sunday, October 28th. As usual, the plan is to schedule a  
full day of talks and discussions for Saturday and a half day for  
Sunday. Also as usual, there will be a workshop dinner Saturday  
evening, with all participants invited to attend as guests of the  
university.

In a few weeks, a website for the workshop will be up, and you'll be  
able to keep up with developments there. You can get to it by  
following the obvious links on the Philosophy Department's web page  
(http://www.nd.edu/~ndphilo/). In due course, the location of the  
sessions, the schedule of talks and abstracts for them will be posted  
there.

If you would like to give a talk, please let me know, and email me  
(mdetlef1 at nd.edu) a pdf of your talk with copies to Paddy (blanchette. 
1 at nd.edu), Tim (bays.5 at nd.edu) and Curtis (cfranks at nd.edu). We would  
like to have all proposals for talks by early September so that we  
can set the program in mid September. Talks should be 35--40 minutes,  
with 15--20 minutes left for discussion. As always, we'll try to  
balance the program both thematically (or imbalance it, if that seems  
better) and between student and faculty presentations.

We're fortunate to have Mrs. Harriet Baldwin (baldwin.1 at nd.edu) as  
the workshop manager once again this year. Please contact her with  
any questions you have concerning rooms, meals, etc.. She has booked  
a block of rooms for the workshop. Since there are other conferences  
going on the same weekend, demand for rooms may be high and it would  
thus be a good idea to reserve a room with Harriet as soon as  
possible. Please also indicate to her whether you will be joining us  
for dinner Saturday evening, and let her know if you have any special  
dietary requirements. She can also point you to pertinent travel  
information, maps, etc..

Finally, I'd ask that you share this announcement with others you  
know who might be interested, including both students and faculty. We  
are fortunate once again to have limited funds to help defray  
expenses for student participants coming from out of town whose  
departments do not have funds to cover their costs. These funds will  
generally take the form of subventions for lodging. If you are  
interested in applying for a subvention, please email me and let me  
know as soon as you can. Please also have an appropriate faculty  
member from your department email me to confirm that it cannot meet  
your expenses.

That's it for now. I hope you're having a good spring, and I look  
forward to seeing you at MWPMW 8 in October. I'll be contacting you  
further as things proceed.

Cordially,

Mic Detlefsen
Director, MWPMW 8
