This is the website for Toby Meadows: logician and philosopher. I'm an associate professor in Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of California, Irvine. 

I work in the foundations of mathematics and the philosophy of set theory. I am particularly interested in using and understanding the value of formal tools in the comparison of different theories in mathematics, logic and (very occasionally) physics.

I've been here since 2018, but here's a little history for context. Before I was here, I was a lecturer at the University of Queensland (2016-18). And before that, I was a member of the Northern Institute of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen (2013-16). Overlapping with that, I was a Marie Curie Fellow on a project with Philip Welch in the School of Mathematics at the University of Bristol (2012-13). And before that, I worked on the Foundations of Logical Consequence project with Arché at the University of St Andrews (2011-12).  And once upon a time, I did a PhD at the University of Melbourne with Alan Hazen and Greg Restall.

You can also find me on:

• Twitter; 

• PhilPapers; and

• Academia.edu (I never look at it though).

I am an associate editor for the Journal of Philosophical Logic and the section editor of the Set Theory category on PhilPapers.
