THE
REASONING CLUB
A
network of research organisations
www.kent.ac.uk/reasoning/club/
Club Coordinator: Phyllis McKay Illari
The Reasoning
Club is a network of research institutes, centres, departments and groups whose
research focusses on topics connected to reasoning, inference and methodology
broadly construed.
The goals
of the Reasoning Club are to:
- foster the exchange
of ideas between researchers working on reasoning-related topics
- develop a sense of
community for researchers spread geographically and spread across disciplines
The Club
achieves these goals by facilitating free movement of researchers between
organisations.
If you are
affiliated to a member organisation then you may travel freely between member
organisations. You just need to inform the host organisation of the dates of
your stay.

How the
Club operates:
- Members of the club
are research institutes, centres, departments or groups ('organisations').
-
Each
member organisation agrees to host academic visitors from other member organisations
for stays of a week or longer.
-
The
host organisation agrees to provide as a minimum a desk, network access
for a laptop, and library access rights for the visiting researcher.
-
The
visiting researcher agrees to participate in activities of the host organisation,
e.g., by giving talks and participating in seminars.
-
Visitors
may include academics, postdocs and PhD students affiliated to a member
organisation.
-
All
visits should be arranged between the directors of the visiting researcher's
organisation and the host organisation.
-
A potential
host organisation reserves the right to, exceptionally, refuse requests
for visits (e.g., on the grounds that space is unavailable for the requested
period).
-
On a
visit being agreed, the host organisation should inform Phyllis McKay Illari, who will monitor the success of the Club programme.
We
are always keen to welcome new members. If your research
organisation
would like to join the Club, please contact Jon
Williamson.
