ABOUT
The Michigan Philosophy Department's Spring Colloquium is an annual event, with each year's theme selected by current graduate students. This year, our goal is to bring together scholars whose work individually and collectively spans many different topic areas in metaphysics in order to highlight the breadth of new work in the area.
