This is a reminder of a call for papers from anyone working on any aspect of the epistemology or methodology of Aristotle’s Generation of Animals. Allan Gotthelf (HPS, University of Pittsburgh) and Devin Henry (Philosophy, University of Western Ontario) are putting together the Fifth Pittsburgh/London (Ont.) Workshop on Aristotle’s Generation of Animals, this one to be held at the University of Western Ontario on May 25-27, 2010. The theme of this workshop is Science and Methodology in Aristotle’s Generation of Animals.

The workshop, limited to 20-25 participants, will have two sorts of sessions: five two-hour sessions on broader topics, with a presenter, a lead questioner, and a chair guiding extended discussion; and five one-hour sessions on narrower topics with a presenter and a chair guiding extended discussion. Submissions are being sought for some of the one hour sessions.

Participants include (among others): Robert Bolton (Rutgers), Jim Hankinson (UT–Austin), Joe Karbowski (Notre Dame), Jim Lennox (Pittsburgh), Mariska Leunissen (Washington Univ.–St. Louis),  Sophia Connell (Cambridge), Kathleen Cook (Pittsburgh), Marguerite Deslauriers (McGill), David Ebrey (Northwestern), Henry Mendell (Cal.St.Univ.-LA), Greg Salmieri (UNC-Chapel Hill), Philip van der Eijk (Newcastle), and the organizers, Allan Gotthelf and Devin Henry.

Proposed papers should be readable in 20-30 minutes, ensuring ample time for workshop discussion. Please send a detailed abstract (one-page, single-spaced) to Devin Henry (dhenry3@uwo.ca). Accommodations and support for travel depends on our ability to secure outside funding.

DEADLINE: January 15, 2010 (notification by February 1).

For more information, please contact Devin Henry (dhenry3@uwo.ca) or Allan Gotthelf (gotthelf@pitt.edu).
