Graduate students or early career researchers (within three years of receiving a doctoral degree) are invited to apply for the 6th PLM Masterclass, to be held at the Faculty of Letters, University of Lisbon, on 23–24 November 2023.

Each student’s talk will take up a 30-minute slot.

Prof. Pacherie will also present new research in her keynote lecture.

Participation in the Masterclass will be free of charge, but students will have to fund their own travel and living expenses in Lisbon.

The Masterclass is organised by LanCog (Language, Mind and Cognition Group at the University of Lisbon), which is a member of PLM (Philosophy of Language and Mind Network), a consortium of European philosophy departments and research centers with special expertise in the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind. The purpose of the network is to further philosophy of language and mind broadly construed and to provide a platform for cooperation between members, primarily in research, but also in research training.
