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 plentitude. 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" is forthcoming in Analysis Reviews. She recently gave a paper "Deflating Mental Fictionalism" in Budapest, Hungary for a conference on Mental Fictionalism. In the spring, she'll be presenting a paper "Modal Parts and Plentitude" at a workshop on material plentitude at the University of Texas at Austin.

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 gym space for this class has been funded for structural upgrades to accommodate multiple aerial apparatuses and circus equipment, allowing students greater room for movement and artistic exploration, and opening up the possibility for interdisciplinary participation in the circus arts and philosophy. This class will next run fall 2020.
