ArgDiap Spring School, 17-19 April 2021 - Call for Teaching Proposals

Theme: Reasoned Argumentation: Legal, Computational and Linguistic
Perspectives
 
Format: Online
 
Website: 
https://argdiap.pl/

Important Dates:
- Submission of course proposals: November 30
- Notification of acceptance: December 15

Submission Form:
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
