http://bit.ly/ARGDIAP-SPRINGSCHOOL-2021-SUBMIT-PROPOSAL Topics and Format:
The School addresses the broad notion of reasoned argumentation, or the role that reasons play in argumentation, from the legal, the computational, and the linguistic perspective, and their numerous interconnections.
Relevant questions include (but are not limited) to: How does a formal model represent the reasons for/against the rational acceptability of a conclusion? How to model the interaction of rational agents computationally? Which formal (meta-)criteria govern argument acceptance? What are the linguistic indicators that reliably identify specific argument parts? Which types of reasons must be accounted for in argumentation? What recent advances lead to better natural language processing of argumentation? How do theoretical frameworks and models apply to legal reasoning? How does legal language influence the argumentation process? How does a legal setting constrain a formal model of argumentation?
We encourage cross-disciplinary, innovative proposals evidencing awareness of the need to adapt to an online environment. All work, whether instructional and organizational, occurs on a good-will basis.
Please indicate the duration (minimum 90 minutes), your time zone, and submit your teaching proposal under one of these three levels:
Foundational:
Designed to present the basics of a research area to people with no prior knowledge in that area. Should be pitched at an elementary level, without prerequisites related to the topic of the course, though possibly assuming a level of general scientific maturity in the relevant discipline. Should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop a level of comfort with the fundamental concepts and techniques of the course’s topic, thereby contributing to the interdisciplinary nature of our research community.
Introductory:
Intended to introduce a research topic to students, young researchers, and other non-specialists, and to foster a sound understanding of its basic methods and techniques. Should enable researchers from related disciplines to develop some familiarity with and competence in the topic in question. Given a cross-disciplinary area, general knowledge of the related disciplines may be presupposed.
Advanced:
Targeted primarily to graduate students who wish to acquire a higher level of understanding in the current research on a given topic or in a given field. May focus on specialized topics, usually of current interest.
Guidelines & Submission:
A proposal can be submitted (and teaching be delivered) by at most two lecturers holding a PhD or equivalent degree by the submission deadline. A proposal must indicate the level of teaching, e.g., by listing standard textbooks/monographs (introductory) or by detailing the prerequisites (advanced). You must submit by the deadline at
