Hi! I’m Evan.

My name is Evan Welchance. I’m currently a philosophy PhD candidate at the University of Virginia.

I received my BA in philosophy and BS in mathematics at Middle Tennessee State University, and my MA in philosophy at Brandeis University.

I work at the intersection of metaphysics, mind, language, and epistemology. In my dissertation, I argue that perceptual experience plays a more important epistemological role than metaphysicians have traditionally recognized.
