The reading group is a forum for philosophers (faculty members and graduate students) in Southern California to meet and discuss their own research and other recent articles in philosophy of physics. We intend to meet 2-3 times per quarter, with topics determined by the interests of the group.

Unless otherwise noted, meetings will be hosted by the LPS department at UC Irvine, in the LPS seminar room (777 Social Science Tower) [directions]. For instructions regarding parking and to reserve a permit, contact Patty Jones, LPS Department Manager.

Go to the listserv homepage to subscribe to a listserv with announcements related to the reading group. Feel free to contact me (wuthrich [-at-] ucsd.edu) with questions or comments.
