Counterfactual (''what if?'') thinking refers to the ability to reflect on
events in the past to imagine how things could have turned out differently.
The Interdisciplinary Workshop on Counterfactual Reasoning will bring together
researchers who study counterfactual thinking from various disciplines and
from around the globe. Over two days, the workshop will include a series of
invited talks, a poster session, and several coffee breaks for informal
discussion. Established and emerging scholars from the fields of Psychology,
Philosophy, Linguistics, Cognitive Science, Informatics, and Management will
comprise our invited program. The poster session is open to submissions on
topics related to the workshop topic (e.g., imagination, reasoning, fiction),
and is included to encourage submissions from students in particular.

Our invited program includes speakers from several disciplines who will
present their work on counterfactual reasoning.
