    Dear Dr. Mccarty,

    In the 12 days from June 30th to July 11 2003, Montreal will be the
    Categorization Capital of the Cognitive World.
    http://www.unites.uqam.ca/sccog/liens/program.html
    The latest developments in all aspects of categorization will be
    described and debated across the cognitive sciences spectrum:
    cognitive anthropology, computer science, linguistics,
    cognitive neuroscience, philosophy and psychology.

    The University of Quebec/Montreal will host this Cognitive Sciences
    Summer Institute. I hope you and your colleagues and students will
    attend and participate in this remarkable convergence.

    I've attached a sample of only a few of the over 50 speakers.
    For the full programme:

    Best wishes,
    Stevan Harnad.
    Canada Research Chair
    University of Quebec/Montreal
