NYU Infant Consciousness Conference @ Center for Mind, Brain, and Consciousness
Feb 28 – Mar 1 all-day

The NYU Center for Mind, Brain, and Consciousness and the NYU Center for Bioethics are co-sponsoring a two-day conference on infant consciousness organized by Ned Block (NYU), David Chalmers (NYU), and Claudia Passos-Ferreira (NYU).

The conference will explore current issues about the development of consciousness in infants, with particular attention to recent work on neural and behavioral markers of consciousness. The aim is to bring together neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers who are working on infant consciousness to gain a better understanding of conscious awareness in infants.

The conference will explore questions such as:

  • When does consciousness emerge in human infants?
  • What do theories of consciousness predict about infant consciousness?
  • ⁠What evidence helps us detect consciousness in infants?
  • What neurological and behavioral markers can be used to assess consciousness in infants?
  • When do specific aspects of consciousness, such as self-awareness and a sense of agency, begin to manifest in infants?
  • ⁠Is there a developmental border or a critical period for consciousness?
  • ⁠What is the best methodology to investigate consciousness in infants?
  • Are fetuses conscious, and if so, at what stage?
  • What are the contents of a newborn baby’s consciousness?
  • What are the moral implications of the emergence of consciousness?
  • What are the implications of developmental milestones in consciousness for early childhood education and care?
  • How do issues about infant consciousness connect to issues about disorders of consciousness in non-human animals and in AI systems?

We invite abstract submissions for a few short talks and poster presentations related to the conference topic.  Submissions from graduate students and early career researchers are particularly encouraged.  Abstracts should be 500-750 words long.  Please send your title and abstract as a PDF document to nyu.infantconsciousness@gmail.com by December 20, 2024, at 11:59 pm EST (with your name, affiliation, and the title of the paper in the body of the e-mail and ‘Abstract submission’ in the subject line). Please specify “Talk only”, “Poster only” “Prefer talk”, “Prefer poster”, or “Either talk or poster”.  if you would prefer a poster or talk presentations and if you are open to both options.  submission, or both.

NSSR Philosophy Graduate Conference on Violence @ New School Philosophy Dept.
Mar 20 – Mar 22 all-day

The annual Philosophy Grad Conference has a long standing tradition at The New School and beyond. It seeks to foster an environment for exchange, critical engagement and mutual inspiration.

The topic of this years conference is violence. We will center research whose aim is to elucidate, complicate, critique, comment, struggle with, reason with, reject, or problematize notions of violence, its causes, and effects. Our hope is to create a space for critical discussion in which diverse voices can speak and be heard in order to better understand our contemporary situation and all of its emotional and theoretical complexities.

Please stay tuned for updates regarding selected keynote speakers, student speakers, and scheduling. Should you have any questions regarding this event please feel free to email us at nssrgradcon2025@gmail.com
