Skepticism Lecture Series

As some of you might know, after organizing a conference on Pyrrhonism in Buenos Aires in 2008, it seemed to me it'd be a good idea to create some sort of group that would bring together scholars from around the world working on skepticism from either a historical or a systematic perspective. It was called the International Society for the Study of Skepticism. Its main aim was to organize conferences every two or three years, but although a couple of conferences were organized by others in Brazil in the following years, the original idea wasn't feasible due to lack of resources. Instead of doing that, it seemed more realistic to launch a journal. Luckily, Brill accepted the proposal in 2010 and the International Journal for the Study of Skepticism has already published ten volumes. Now, during the initial months of the pandemic, several online colloquia and lectures series were organized with considerable success by different groups and institutions, which made me think that something similar could be done by those interested in skepticism. For various reasons, I couldn't undertake the project last year, and at this point it might be worth giving it a try. The tentative idea is to have the typical 90-minute-talk + Q&A every two weeks and to make sure to have as many groups and approaches as possible represented. I'd be grateful if those interested in participating either as speakers and/or as attendees sent me an email to diegomachuca at gmail dot com or to diegomachuca at conicet dot gov dot ar.
