*Speakers include:* Erik Curiel, Sam Fletcher, James Ladyman, Oliver
Pooley, Bryan W Roberts, Karim Thébault, and Jim Weatherall.

The vexed “Hole Argument”, invented by Einstein during the discovery of
general relativity and used by Earman and Norton as an argument against a
certain kind of spacetime substantivalism, has recently generated a new
debate. Proposals that the argument can be dissolved by avoiding misleading
mathematical thinking have been met with supporters and critics. This
workshop brings together recent authors on both sides of the new debate.

This is a “satellite” workshop being held the day before Foundations 2016,
the 18th UK/EU conference on foundations of physics. Both are being held at
LSE.
