Phil Cosmogroup
Over the course of the next three years, our participating institutions will participate in a variety of conferences and workshops, design and teach graduate and undergraduate seminars, and engage in outreach to the public.
Many of our courses, lectures, and events will also be available via podcast.
Currently Columbia and NYU are running a graduate seminar in the philosophy of physics in conjunction with our working group on the philosophy of cosmology:
