Lab meetings are common in psychology and other social sciences. MERG borrows the idea to provide philosophers and other participants with a collaborative venue to discuss experimental work they are currently undertaking or planning to take up. We hope to help one another refine our experiments, in order to avoid design problems and to better address the philosophical issues with which we are concerned. Each meeting, several researchers make a short, informal presentation, then receive suggestions from those in attendance.
On April 30th, MERG will hold a special lab meeting at CUNY Graduate Center rm 205 from 1-5 pm. This meeting will be hosted in conjunction with our Metaethics and Experimental Philosophy Workshop, to take place the next day, on May 1st.
