[visionlist] Announcing the Reformation of the Australasian Society for Cognitive Science

[Neha Khetrapal]

Dear Friends and Colleagues,


We are pleased to announce the reformation of the Australasian Society for
Cognitive Science (ASCS). The main activity of the society has been the
organization of conferences. The society now aims to run regular
conferences every second year with an eye to becoming the peak body for the
interdisciplinary study of the mind in Australasia.



The first major event for the reformed society will be a conference held at
the brand new Port Macquarie (yes we have an airport, along with our
beaches and rainforest) campus of Charles Sturt University on the *7th and
8th of December 2017*. Max Coltheart (Macquarie) will keynote the event.
This event will include a general meeting of the society to endorse a new
constitution and elect a committee consisting of a president, general
secretary, treasurer, student representative and communications officer. We
will also be seeking expressions of interest from those wanting to host the
next conference in 2019.



Much more information about the conference will be forthcoming in the next
weeks.



For now, interested parties are asked to contact Glenn Carruthers (
glenn.rj.carruthers at gmail.com) to be added to a mailing list where
information about the society (including a draft constitution, call for
nominations for committee positions and information about conferences) will
be distributed.



Please forward this onto any potentially interested parties.



Sincerely,
Neha
