| | Description | The O'Hara Lecture Series in Philosophy of Physics aims to make topics at the cutting edge of the philosophy and the foundations of physics accessible to a broad public audience. The next speaker for the series will be Laura Ruetsche (University of Michigan). Ruetsche is world-renowned for her philosophical work on the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory. Her book Interpreting Quantum Theories (2011, Oxford) won the Lakatos Award for outstanding contributions to philosophy of science. Please join us on May 31, 2023 for a discussion with Ruetsche of how quantum physics bears on the topic of scientific realism. This event is open to the public. Please register at the link. |
