The Serious Metaphysics Group
The Serious Metaphysics Group (SMG) meets at 5.30 pm on Wednesdays in the Faculty of Philosophy Board Room to hear and discuss papers from philosophers working on metaphysics inside or outside Cambridge. Papers normally last around 45 minutes (although shorter papers are also welcome), followed by about 45 minutes of questions and discussion.
The convoker of the SMG is Lukas Skiba. Please email Lukas (lps24@cam.ac.uk) to subscribe to (or unsubscribe from) the mailing list, or if you would like to give a paper.
