Meg Wallace is an Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Philosophy Department at University of Kentucky.

She received her PhD in philosophy from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill in August of 2009.
In 2009-2010 she was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Oberlin College.

Meg's recent research projects include the metaphysics of ordinary objects, mereology, mental fictionalism, and material plenitude. Her paper "The Lump Sum: a Theory of Modal Parts" (2019) was recently published in Philosophical Papers, "The Polysemy of 'Part' " (2019) was recently published in Synthese, and her "Counterexamples and Common Sense: When (not) to Tollens a Ponens" (2020) was recently published in Analysis Reviews. She is currently working on two papers - "Mental Fictionalism" and "Deflating Mental Fictionalism" - for a volume specifically dedicated to mental fictionalism. She is also working on a paper on modal parts and material plenitude called "Immortality and Endless Possibilities: Being All that You Can Be".

Meg's teaching interests continue to include a novel project of combing physical movement, performance, and the circus arts with philosophical study - a project started in 2017 with the creation of her course PHI 193: Circus and Philosophy. Recently, a large investment has been made for structural upgrades explicitly for the gym space for this class, resulting in 6 aerial dropline points. The entire space can now accommodate multiple aerial apparatuses and various ground circus equipment, allowing students greater room for movement, artistic exploration, and participation in the circus arts and philosophy. This class will next run fall 2021.
