[Athena] Call for cv - Workshop, Case Studies in Mathematical Practice, Paris 2015

[Virginie Bellot <Virginie.Bellot AT univ-paris1.fr>]

Funding Available for Graduate Students and Recent PhDs to attend the  
workshop, Case Studies in Mathematical Practice, to be held at  
Universite Paris Diderot from June 29, 2015 through July 4, 2015.

Workshop: Case Studies in Mathematical Practice. The primary goal of  
this workshop is to shed light on mathematical thought and  
understanding by developing a rich collection of case studies drawn  
from the historical and current practice of mathematicians. A  
secondary goal is to examine the methodology of case studies with an  
eye towards determining which questions in the philosophy of  
mathematics are amenable to solution by case study methods, and which  
questions are not. One recurring theme of the workshop concerns the  
ways in which the development of new conceptual and representational  
resources can contribute to an increase in the intelligibility of a  
mathematical domain.

The Role of Senior Participants. Senior participants in the workshop  
will deliver presentations contributing case studies of mathematical  
practice and/or analyses of some way in which issues in the philosophy  
of mathematics can be illuminated on the basis of case study work.  
Senior participants are asked to have a paper, detailed handout, or  
slide presentation ready for internal distribution among workshop  
participants by Sunday, June 21, 2015. On request, senior participants  
should also be willing to offer feedback on projects underway by  
graduate students and recent PhDs.

The Role of Graduate Students and Recent PhDs ("Junior Participants").  
Junior participants who wish to apply for funding should send a CV and  
a letter of interest to csmpparis AT gmail.com. The letter of interest  
should describe the prospective participant's background, interest,  
and current projects in case study work and in the philosophy of  
mathematics more broadly. The letter should ideally be no longer than  
two pages long. Please send your CV and letter of interest to  
csmpparis AT gmail.com no later than Monday, January 5, 2015, to ensure  
full consideration. Junior participants will be expected to have read  
at least one senior participant's presentation materials prior to the  
workshop and to offer a five minute response once the presentation is  
given.

Funding and Reimbursements for Junior and Senior Participants. The  
workshop organizers will reimburse participants by issuing a travel  
stipend intended to cover the actual costs of their travels and stay  
in Paris. This stipend will most likely take the form of a cheque  
issued in U.S. dollars. Junior and Senior participants should be  
willing to provide an address to which their stipend will be mailed  
and a name in which the cheque is to be issued. Assuming a name and  
address has been provided by a junior or senior participant, a  
corresponding stipend will be issued and mailed no later than August  
1, 2015. The workshop organizers may cover some hotel or food costs  
directly.

While this event is open to the public, all who attend the workshop  
must register for the workshop by sending an e-mail to  
csmpparis AT gmail.com. We ask that everyone who plans to attend register  
by no later than Friday, June 19, 2015.
