Summer School of the Institut Wiener Kreis

Heather Douglas (Waterloo Chair in Science and Society) spent the first two weeks of July 2016 teaching at the Summer School of the Institut Wiener Kreis at the University of Vienna on “Science, Values, and Democracy” with Mark Brown and Andrew Jewett.

Heather says, “It was a great experience, working with Andy and Mark, and meeting the 25 graduate students from the European Union (EU) and North America. The students had backgrounds in philosophy of science, history of science, political theory, environmental policy and religious studies, and the mix of expertise produced some great explorations of the issues. An intense experience (the course was in session 9-5 M-F for two weeks) but totally worth it!”
