Hi! I’m Evan.

My name is Evan Welchance, and I’m a Visiting Lecturer of Philosophy at the University of Richmond. I received my PhD from the University of Virginia in 2025.

I specialize in metaphysics and philosophy of perception. In my primary research project, I argue that material object ontology is an empirical discipline.
