BSA Realism Study Group Seminar: Contemporary Issues in Realist Thought

BSA Realism Study Group Seminar: Contemporary Issues in Realist Thought
Friday 6 September 2013
BSA Meeting Room, London.

As the new convenors of the BSA realism study group we are pleased to announce a seminar to debate contemporary issues in realist thought. We intend to facilitate discussion with a range of speakers to consider what can we learn about the application of realism across different disciplines.

We would like to initiate a broad discussion within the following areas:
– Realist dialogues across perspectives and disciplines.
– Using realism in substantive inquiry.
– What difference does a realist perspective make?

We intend that our discussions will inform a broad scoping exercise of current issues of realist thought which may help to inform future events that we will hold, developing an agenda for future sessions.

For further information please see the attached flyer, further details on speakers and abstracts to follow shortly.
