Marcelo Stamm has been head of the UTas School of Philosophy since mid 2005. His research has had a double focus on problems of metaphysics, (cognitive horizons, demarcation lines, inner/outer and inside/outside) on the one hand and the theory of the mind and subjectivity, creativity and self-consciousness on the other.
