→ Sessions held on Saturday July 18th and Monday July 20th.

(B)Heather Demarest(University of Colorado, Boulder) andTravis McKenna(North Carolina State) will focus on Laws Beyond the Humean/Non-Humean Debate.

→ Session dates TBD.

Each stream will consist of two three-hour workshops, each designed to introduce participants to the state of play in the given sub-discipline.

Scholars at any stage of their career are welcome to attend. Level of instruction is at an advanced graduate level.
