| July 7, 2010 | to | July 9, 2010 |
The University of Mississippi’s Center for Intelligence and Security Studies (CISS) and the London School of Economics’ Centre for Philosophy of Natural and Social Science (CNSS) are pleased to host the second Beyond Rationality Workshop July 7-9, 2010.
The Beyond Rationality Workshop series is a project of the CNSS at the London School of Economics in collaboration with the CISS at the University of Mississippi. The first workshop was held in London on November 21, 2009.
The recent banking crisis and the rise of religious fundamentalism as a political cause have prompted people to reflect on the seeming irrationality of thinking relevant to these events. These examples join a host of other occasions when the thoughts and actions of people seem to be irrational. Drawing on the notion that “one person’s irrationality is another’s rationality,” this event explores the boundaries of ‘rationality’ from different points of view as illuminated by philosophical or psychological studies such as akrasia, weakness of will, and formal fallacies.
Beyond Rationality II aims to continue the exploration of the meaning of ideas related to rationality in discussions of contemporary problems such as economic decisions, the recruitment of jihadists, terrorism, the banking crisis, risk assessment, conflict resolution, and the climate change debate.

GikII V, The Voyage Home will take place June 28-29, 2010, in Edinburgh. The call for papers deadline is April 15, 2010.
GikII is a workshop concerned with exploring the legal interaction between popular culture, speculative fiction, and new technologies. It has been described unimaginatively as trail-blazing, innovative, fun and informative. We like to think of GikII as the legal workshop equivalent of a Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster, in other words, it is “like having your brain smashed out by a slice of lemon wrapped round a large gold brick”. GikII is where the bravest, fun-est (not to be confused with funniest) and zaniest ideas about law and technologies are discussed. In some instances we explore technologies so new that in fact there is not even a term to describe them, while some other times we have discussed technologies long gone. We only ask that you are imaginative and think of your fellow travellers instead of yourself. GikII is all about giving legal scholars the opportunity to engage in blue skies thinking (variations of the visible electromagnetic radiation spectrum may occur depending on which planet you may currently inhabit). If you have a paper that is languishing at the bottom of your hard drive and is crying out to see the light of a USB stick, GikII is the place for you. We laugh in the face of tradition and make rude comments about scholarly convention.
