11th Annual Formal Epistemology Workshop June 20-22, 2014 University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA The Formal Epistemology Workshop will be held in connection with the 2014 meeting of the Society for Exact Philosophy, which will take place immediately afterwards, at the California Institute of Technology, a short rail ride away in Pasadena. There is no cost to attend FEW, including the day of events shared with the SEP at Caltech on Sunday, June 22. However, participants who plan to attend the banquet on Sunday evening, or any of the Monday or Tuesday talks through the SEP should register by May 22. Local Information: See here for information about food, transportation, events, and concerts during FEW. Participants in FEW alone may want to book a room from the night of Thursday, June 19 to the morning of Monday, June 23. Participants in FEW and SEP may want to book a room from the night of Thursday, June 19 to the morning of Sunday, June 22, when there will be time to move to the SEP conference hotel in Pasadena. (There will be plenty of time on Sunday morning for participants to travel between downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena, but time will be a bit tighter on the other mornings.) Free guest wifi is available on campus, though I find that it is only about 90% reliable. Handouts for all talks are coming online.
