VAPS Conference

VAPS Conference: Cultivating Curiosity: Philosophy and STEM

The Biennial VAPS conference will be running again in September this year. 

The conference title is Cultivating Curiosity: Philosophy and STEM

The theme for this year focusses on the role of philosophy in STEM areas and will be held between the Friday 14th and Saturday 15th of September at Siteworks in Brunswick.

We will also host an In-action Day at Scienceworks Museum in Spotswood on Thursday 13th September. This will be a day for attendees to come and observe a philosophical community of inquiry in a philosothon style run by expert facilitators. This will also include a planetarium show for all attendees!

We are very excited to announce our keynote speakers for the conference:

Dr. Tim Sprod, Chair of the Tasmanian Association of Philosophy in School, who will present on why we should engage in philosophical inquiry in STEM subjects.

Krystal De Napoli from Monash University, who will present on Indigenous Astronomy and Ethics.

Proposals for presentations can be submitted here.
