Dr. Wilson joined Fort Lewis College in 2024 as Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy. He spends a lot of time thinking and writing about philosophical issues in climate science, both as it pertains to the future with climate models and to the past with climate proxies like tree rings and ice cores. Recently, he has also been thinking about how scientific practice resembles aesthetic practices, like the production of art and the playing of games, and why this is a good thing for science. You can find his work in a variety of philosophical and scientific journals, including Synthese, European Journal for Philosophy of Science, Climate of the Past, Perspectives on Science, and Frontiers in Climate.
