1. Call for papers for conference, "The Authority of Science," 8-10
April 2011, University of Sydney, Australia, 4th Sydney-Tilburg
conference on the philosophy of science. From climate change to the
classification of illegal drugs the extent to which scientific
opinion should prevail over other voices in determining public policy
is hotly contested. What is it about the nature of science that
confers epistemic authority on scientific opinion, and what are the
scope and limits of that authority? Abstracts due: 15th October
2010.

3. Call for papers for conference, "Metaphysics and the Philosophy of
Science," 13-15 May 2011, University of Toronto. This conference

methodological questions about the role of metaphysics in the
philosophy of science. Participation is open and welcome from all
parties to these questions: from those who hold that metaphysics must
have a place within the philosophy of science, to those who hold it
should not. Deadline for essays: January 10, 2011.
