Sergi Rosell at Universitat de Valencia sends us news of their upcoming two-day Workshop:

We are going to hold a workshop in Valencia on belief, responsibility, and action (November 12-14). This is the list of invited speakers:

María Alvarez (University of Southampton) Stefaan Cuypers (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven) Pascal Engel (Université de Paris IV - Sorbonne) Christopher Hookway (University of Sheffield) Dana Nelkin (University of California, San Diego) Timothy O’Connor (Indiana University) Derk Pereboom (Cornell University) Thomas Pink (King's College London) Helen Steward (University of Leeds) David Widerker (Bar-Ilan University)

Aims: This Workshop on Belief, Responsibility, and Action emerges from a research project with the same title, currently run by philosophers who belong to the University of Valencia but also some who work at universities in the UK. In the meeting, the three general topics of belief, responsibility, and action will be addressed, mostly by means of exploring its connections. Particular issues that will be covered by the talks are: action and moral responsibility, the nature of reasons and their relation to actions, responsibility for beliefs and attitudes, control over beliefs, beliefs and the will, deliberation and belief in freedom, knowledge of one’s own mental states and actions (self-knowledge), as well as related subjects.

It is intended to be held 12th through 14th November 2008, consisting of invited talks, each followed by a comment and a general discussion.
Sessions on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning.
