| Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
| Results and Impact | I spoke to members of University College MCR on two occasions. In the first, I spoke about the Thomism/Category theory I have mentioned previously, in the other I spoke about the foundations of quantum mechanics, and how this could be related to issues in postmodern philosophy. On the basis of the second one I was invited to speak at/ attend the Philosophy Department's postgraduate seminar |
