Event details
On some accounts, co-ordination is the means by which separate processes are brought together and contribute to complex phenomena or behaviour. In cognitive science, for example, people’s or robots’ behaviours may coordinate with artefacts, giving rise to integrated cognitive systems. Philosopher and cognitive scientist David Kirsh writes that "co-ordination is the glue of distributed cognition and it occurs at all levels of analysis" (2006: 250). This small workshop concerns the philosophy of coordination within social and cultural contexts, including (though not limited to) social cognition and action, embodied and distributed cognition, and more.
The workshop will be held on Zoom and the format will be a series of short presentations with opportunities for discussion after each. Anyone interested may attend.
