This year USC will be hosting HOMeWork 3, the third iteration of the Higher-Order Metaphysics Workshop. The workshop will take place June 25-26, immediately following NASSLLI2022. While the workshop should be accessible to non-specialists (for a description see here), there are also two NASSLLI bootcamps — Introduction to non-extensional higher-order logics and their applications to propositional attitudes (Cian Dorr & Harvey Lederman) June 18, and Introduction to propositional quantifiers (Peter Fritz) June 19 — which will provide useful philosophical and technical background. If you would like to attend either in person or over Zoom, or have other first-order questions, please email goodman.jeremy[at]gmail[dot]com.
