Social Ontology
Apr 15, Apr 17
Tuesday Topic
What kinds of things are social groups? Are they sets, structures, fusions of their members, or just pluralities of people and objects? And where are they at? Are they anywhere their members are? Do they move when their members move? We’ll look at these puzzles and more, covering recent work on the topic.

Thursday Workshop
Workshop Topic:Â Â Drafting
To Bring:
1 page or a part of a section that you're stuck on
This is a chance for you to collaborate in groups so each person can work through a piece of their paper that they're struggling with. You might be struggling for different reasons: maybe a bit of the argument is challenging, you don't know how to support one of your premises. Maybe you are having a hard time explaining something clearly; even though you know roughly what you have in mind, you aren't sure how to accessibly communicate it. Whatever the reason, bring the snippet of your paper and we'll help one another past the hurdles.
Reminder:Â Â The first draft of your Senior Thesis is due on April 20th via email by 4pm
