Philosophy for the Social Sciences and Humanities

A three-week summer school for MA, MPhil and PhD students from all over the country will be held at the National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore. This workshop is organized by the Centre for Philosophy, NIAS. Similar workshops have been held over the last two years. This workshop will introduce students to philosophy, drawn from both Indian and Western traditions, necessary to understand topics in social sciences and humanities. Classes will be conducted by eminent philosophers and will be at an accessible level for students who may not be students of philosophy.

Dates: Monday, June 2, 2008 – Friday, June 20, 2008

Who can apply

MA, MPhil and early PhD students working in the broad areas of social sciences and humanities (including philosophy) can apply. If there are exceptional candidates from the natural sciences who are interested in philosophy, they will also be considered.

How to apply

Send a CV (with marks and with email contact) along with an essay/working paper that you have written.
