The Humanities Research Center is delighted to celebrate Professor Emily McWilliams’ participation in the inaugural volume of the Balkan Analytic Forum’s (BAF) publication series. Professor McWilliams Co-Edited the volume with Professor Miroslava Trajkovski from the University of Belgrade, who directs the Balkan Analytic Forum. As the volume’s Co-Editor, Professor McWilliams played a vital role in shaping a collection of essays that delve into themes from the forum’s inaugural conference series, including BAF I: Normativity and BAF+: Normativity of Art. Professor McWilliams notes that these essays highlight the diversity and depth of analytic philosophy’s approach to normativity, offering valuable insights that resonate across various philosophical traditions.
Professor McWilliams expressed her enthusiasm for this project, noting how meaningful it was to work on this volume as a philosopher at a Sino-American joint venture institution with a global outlook. The mission of the Balkan Analytic Forum, which emphasizes the historical and cultural embeddedness of intellectual traditions while fostering global dialogue, aligns perfectly with Duke Kunshan University’s own commitment to rooted globalism. You can access the electronic version of the publication here: Balkan Analytic Forum – Normativity 2024.
In addition to her editorial work, Professor McWilliams was honored with two prestigious speaking engagements at the University of Belgrade this month. She delivered a keynote address at the 2nd Annual Balkan Analytic Forum Conference, titled “Hijacking and Relational Intellectual Humility in Collective Inquiry”, and presented an invited lecture on “Inquiry and Epistemic Injustice”.
