Current Issues in Measurement
The aim of the workshop is to explore contemporary issues in measurement—its conceptual foundations, its role in and reliance on theory, and the philosophical issues it raises. With this broad scope we hope to bring together different people working on measurement who are based in England and encourage more collaboration between them. In this sense, topics of interest include (but are not limited to) measurement in quantum mechanics, pragmatist and perspectival approaches to measurement, or the practical design of measurement instruments.
Organisers: Lucy Mason (RHUL), Bernardo Marques (RHUL)
