Jill North, Professor, Department of Philosophy
Jill North works in the philosophy of physics and philosophy of science, with interests in metaphysics and philosophy of mathematics. She has been especially interested in exploring the mathematical formulations of physical theories, and the ways in which different formulations of a theory may differ in what they say about the nature of physical reality; in other words, the sense in which different formulations, even those said to be theoretically equivalent, are, or are not, inter-translatable.
