About

Workshop
This workshop is for early career philosophers who work on social metaphysics. (We define early career to include everyone from graduate students to recently tenured associate professors.) 

Format
The workshop is pre-read only and will occur via Zoom. With one exception, there will be no presentations by speakers; these sessions will be completely based around discussing the papers.
​
Origin
As early career philosophers, it is particularly important that we have opportunities to get feedback on our work. Due to COVID-19, many of these in-person opportunities have been delayed or canceled altogether. We are organizing this online workshop to partially offset some of the opportunities lost because of the pandemic.

Organizers
Kevin Richardson is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at North Carolina State University. He currently works at the intersection of metaphysics, philosophy of language, and social philosophy. 

Asya Passinsky is a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. She works on metaphysics, social philosophy, feminist philosophy, and the philosophy of social science.

Sponsors
This workshop is sponsored by the NC State University Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies and the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Program at UNC Chapel Hill.
