We will be reprising and updating a workshop that we helped to teach remotely last year for a primarily Swiss audience ( https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/yR_TCk81N9tn6JV31C2xuJJ?domain=sites.google.com. Each day will comprise two 2-hour intensive seminars from 10 AM to noon and from 2 PM to 4 PM. Below is a thumbnail sketch of the curriculum: *Day 1 morning: *Sytsma introduces the brave new world of corpus analysis and catalogues some of the work that's already been done using this methodology in philosophy *Day 1 afternoon: *applied session getting everyone to download and install R, R Studio, and R Markdown. If time permits, a few short demos *Day 2 morning: *Sytsma demonstrates corpus analysis on causal attributions, including reproduction of this work by students *Day 2 afternoon:* Alfano introduces students to the quanteda corpus analysis suite in R *Day 3 morning:* Alfano introduces linguistic inquiry and word count (LIWC) and the LIWCalike package in R *Day 3 afternoon: *Alfano and Cheong teach construction of custom dictionaries (e.g., toxic masculinity dictionaries, morality-as-cooperation dictionaries, qanon dictionary, covid dictionaries) *Day 4 morning: *Alfano introduces the ggplot package in R using Twitter data about the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020 *Day 4 afternoon:* Whole team introduces custom corpus construction, including the use of APIs The curriculum is designed for philosophers who have an interest in but *no prior experience* with corpus analysis or coding. Our goal is to enable philosophers in Australasia to start using these methods in their own research, and we are committed to providing ongoing support and advice to anyone who attends. If you or any of your students is interested in attending, *please send me an email*. Financial support is available to help defray costs for students and early career researchers to travel to and pay for lodging in Sydney. In order to ensure that all participants receive sufficient attention, we will cap participation at 20 students.

In Australia, however, this understanding and incorporation of First Nations TEK of shellfish aquaculture and coastal management is in its infancy. In contrast to Australia, in Aotearoa (New Zealand), there is a rich history of knowledge of shellfish, understanding of cultural practices and the use of stories and ancestral sayings. We reviewed the current state of incorporation of TEK of shellfish in both Australia and Aotearoa. We find that TEK in Aotearoa has improved aquaculture and provides evidence of the value of incorporating TEK in the production of shellfish. We are only now just beginning the journey in Australia to understand and document TEK and practices held by First Nations people. Aotearoa provides valuable lessons on the importance of TEK and guidance for the respectful incorporation of TEK into shellfish aquaculture and coastal management in Australia. If we are to appropriately restore and manage our coasts, then we need to incorporate First Nations Australians knowledge, and respect and protect their connections to traditional sea management.

Zoom link: https://uni-sydney.zoom.us/j/89100721621*In-person in the seminar room and simulcast via Zoom*I introduce an argument for mathematical Platonism based on intra-mathematical explanation: the explanation of one mathematical fact by another. The argument is important for two reasons. First, if the argument succeeds then it provides a basis for Platonism that does not proceed via standard indispensability considerations. Second, if the argument fails it can only do so for one of three reasons: either because there are no intra-mathematical explanations, or because not all explanations are backed by dependence relations, or because some form of noneism---the view according to which non-existent entities possess properties and stand in relations---is true. The argument thus forces a choice between nominalism without noneism, intra-mathematical explanation and a backing conception of explanation. You can have any two, but not all three.  When: Wed 30 Mar 2022 15:30 ? 17:00 Eastern Australia Time - Sydney Where: Philosophy Seminar Room Calendar: Seminars Who: * elhulme at gmail.com- creator Event details: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/GXN3Cvl1rKiW7A3Z6SQdXzF?domain=calendar.google.com Invitation from Google Calendar: https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/sDHOCwV1vMfLGyWn1iqZEZY?domain=calendar.google.com You are receiving this email at the account sydphil at arts.usyd.edu.au because you are subscribed for notifications on calendar Seminars.
