Dear BERGers,
This is just to let you know about a workshop that will be taking place in January as part of the Agency, Rationality and Epistemic Defeat project: please see info below.
Given current circumstances, invited speakers will participate remotely. As we are still planning to host the event from the University of Stirling there will be a limited number of places available for local attendees.
Best wishes,
Kirsten
