Meg Wallace is an Associate Professor 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 primary research interests include the metaphysics of ordinary objects, mereology, mental fictionalism, and material plenitude. She is currently working on a monograph (under contract) with Cambridge University Press as part of their Elements series called Parts and Wholes: Spatial to Modal. It is a brief survey of various views of composition and mereology as a lead up to - and defense of - a theory of modal parts.

Her papers “Mental Fictionalism” and “Mental Fictionalism: a foothold amid deflationary collapse” are both forthcoming in a volume Mental Fictionalism: Philosophical Explorations, Tamas Demeter, T. Parent, and Adam Toon (eds.) (Routledge).

Some of her recent publications include: "The Polysemy of 'Part'" Synthese (2021); "Counterexamples and Common Sense: When (not) to Tollens a Ponens" in Analysis (2020), and "The Lump Sum: a Theory of Modal Parts" Philosophical Papers (2019).
