"Minimal change theories of conditionals, the import-export law, and modus ponens"
Stalnaker's minimal change semantics for conditionals fails to support the import-export law, according to which (a) and (b) are logically equivalent:
(a) if A, then if B, then C
(b) if A and B, then C
However, natural language conditionals seem to abide by the law. McGee (1985) outlines a minimal change semantics for conditionals that supports it. I argue that, in fact, the equivalence between (a) and (b) does not hold unrestrictedly, and I suggest that the facts follow from the interaction between the semantics of conditionals and the ways suppositions may affect the context. I conclude by describing the consequences of my account for the issue of the validity of modus ponens.

Online Screening – Unraveled: 2021 UConn DMD BFA Senior Exhibition 7:00pm
Online Screening – Unraveled: 2021 UConn DMD BFA Senior Exhibition

Graduating BFA seniors from the UConn Department of Digital Media & Design showcase their senior projects in the virtual exhibition "Unraveled," with a screening premiere on Friday, May 7, 2021 at 7pm EDT at https://youtu.be/v1ienaG8sik. A virtual reception follows the screening. All events are free and open to the public. For more information and to register for the reception visit http://dmd.uconn.edu/bfashow.
“Unraveled” features the work of 23 senior UConn DMD Bachelor of Fine Arts students from both Storrs and Stamford campuses. Exhibited artworks range from 2D and 3D animations to narrative and documentary films, digital publications, interactive websites, and games. The title Unraveled reflects the feelings and reimagined workflows of the exhibiting artists’ senior year. Everything they may have planned - or thought would be - became “unraveled.” For many of them, this tumultuous year not only influenced the trajectory of their projects, but also the subject of their work.
Unraveled is presented by UConn Digital Media & Design (DMD) and the Virtual Jorgensen Gallery at the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts. -

Like the rest of the country, our lives were turned upside-down with the arrival of COVID. Teaching and learning with technology took center stage. We're proud that the educators who have attended our annual conference had a leg up on the monumental task educators faced, and continue to face.
This year, we are holding our 9th annual conference for K-12 educators virtually on how to integrate iPads, Chromebooks, and Cloud-Based Computing devices into the teaching and learning process. We hope you will join us for this learning-filled virtual day where fellow educators share how they are using technology to promote student learning. Registration also includes access for a month after the conference to access all 24 conference presentations.
Early bird discount is available until April 1. -

Design And Research For Healthy Communities And Healthcare Facilities Conference

Other Virtual Conference
The Design and Research for Healthy Communities and Healthcare Facilities conference is organized by UConn Anthropology professor Françoise Dussart and Sohyun Park from the Department of Plant Science & Landscape Architecture at UConn. This Interdisciplinary Virtual Conference draws attention to the historical and contemporary contexts within which healthy communities and healthcare facilities-related projects get realized as well as how their performances and outcomes are measured. In a pandemic era, conference presenters explore how issues of class, gender, ethnicity, and age contribute intellectually and literally shaping designs and their execution. Drawing on theoretical frameworks and empirical observations, presenters explore insights and questions which arise through cross-disciplinary dialogues, and examine how social and identity politics shape the architecture of care and are working to build better healing spaces.
