Professor Belot's primary interests are in philosophy of physics, philosophy of science, and metaphysics. His book, Geometric Possibility, explores the feasibility of adapting standard accounts of physical possibility to provide an account of geometric possibility of the sort required by relationalism about space. Many of his recent papers are concerned with inter-theory relations in physics or with the interpretative, methodological, and metaphysical implications of symmetry principles. Before joining the faculty at Michigan in 2008, he taught at Princeton University, New York University, and the University of Pittsburgh. He has held a post-doctoral fellowship from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and fellowships from the National Science Foundation, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences.
