Visiting scholarship: Lisbon
January to June 2013 Emanuele is Visiting Scholar at the Lisbon Applied Evolutionary Epistemology Lab (AppEEL), Centre for Philosophy of Science, University of Lisbon. AppEEL aims to advance the study of the Extended Synthesis in biology from an inter- and transdisciplinary approach, and identify how the Extended Synthesis can be applied to the sociocultural domain. Emanuele is going to take part in project “Implementing the Extended Synthesis in Evolutionary Biology into the Sociocultural Domain” as a visiting fellow researcher and teacher.
Teaching: Sociocultural Evolution
In July 2013 Emanuele teaches, with Nathalie Gontier, in the "Sociocultural Evolution" module of the First International Summer School on Evolution, Lisbon, Portugal. The School aims to better prepare a future generation for inter- and transdisciplinary evolution research by providing courses on cutting edge research in biological and sociocultural evolutionary sciences for Master, Doctoral and Postdoctoral students. Emphasis lies on topics that are currently underrepresented in (post)graduate curricula.
