The Sigma Club

 

The Sigma Club is a historic lecture series in the philosophy and foundations of physics, founded in 1987 by Michael Redhead at Cambridge, and moving to LSE in 1997 where it is now hosted by the CPNSS. It meets on Monday afternoons during normal term time and is free and open to all.
