Alastair Wilson

Hello!

I'm a philosopher at the University of Birmingham, working on metaphysics and the philosophy of science, with particular interests in the metaphysics of modality, Everettian quantum mechanics, chance and laws of nature. Before joining Birmingham, I took the B.Phil and D.Phil at Oxford, and spent 18 months as a post-doc at Monash. You can email me at a.j.wilson@bham.ac.uk .
