Current Projects
I am Project Director of The/La Collaborative, and international partnership aimed at enhancing culture in and around Humanities and Social Science education, skills and impact.
The/La Collaborative develops and implements cross-sectoral “collaboration protocols” that leverage experiential learning for postgraduate students to mobilise SSHA know-how and expertise and build capacity in the community. We recently secure 2.5 million for SSHRC for a project title Impact Training for Social Innovation. (grant # 795-2024-1010) .
We received SSHRC-funding in the 2018 Partnership Development Grant competition (grant# 890-2017-0088) and more recently a Partnership Engage Grant (grant # 1008-2020-0152) and an Insight Development Grant (grant #430-2021-00584) as well as funding from the Future Skills Centre to expand the initiative. Over the last year we have also benefitted from the ongoing support of Mitacs Accelerate programs for 2 PhD students and 1 Postdoc. More information is available HERE.
My research on the history of logic in the nineteenth century has been funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (grant# 435-2013-1265 ) as well. Logic from Kant to Russell , the most recent outcome, includes contributions by: Frederick Beiser, Nick Griffin, Jeremy Heis, Sean Morris, Lydia Patton, Consuelo Preti, Graham Priest, Erich Reck, Nick Stang and Clinton Tolley. In June 2018, Erich Reck and I co-hosted a workshop at McMaster on Methodology and Historiography that builds on metaphilosophical aspects of my previous research. We are currently working on a connected collection of essays. More information forthcoming in 2021.
Three more books were completed, thanks to SSHRC’s support: Philosophy of Mind in the 19th Century. (ed., Routledge 2018) – here is the manuscript of my Introduction – an English translation and collection of essays around Neuer Anti-Kant (eds, with Clinton Tolley), and Innovations in the History of Analytical Philosophy, which I edited with Chris Pincock ( Palgrave 2017), with whom I also co-sign the Introduction. More information on my publications is available HERE.
