Matías Walker
Ph.D. Student in Philosophy, admitted Autumn 2026
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI'm interested in making contributions on both the metaphysical and logical fronts of philosophical questions.

Zach Wallis
Ph.D. Student in History, admitted Autumn 2026
BioI am a graduate student in the Department of History's doctoral program since 2026. My research focuses on political economy, environment, and energy in Australia, New Zealand, and the Southwest Pacific in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I have previously undertaken research on Australian and New Zealand intellectual history in the same period, and published an article on James Bonwick's writing about the Aboriginal Tasmanians, titled "History, Extinction, Ambiguity," in the journal History Australia. I hold a first-class honours undergraduate degree in history from McGill University and master’s degrees in history from the Australian National University and the University of Chicago.
