The Cambridge Social Ontology Group (CSOG) is a research group in the Faculty of Economics at the University of Cambridge.[1] Established in October 2002, it focusses on the study of social ontology – the nature and basic structure of social reality. Furthermore, CSOG organises the Cambridge Realist Workshop, a lecture series that has been running since October 1990.[2]

Debate with Berkeley[edit]
To date, there have been two Critical Issues in Social Ontology Workshops held to foster debate between the Center for Social Ontology at the University of California, Berkeley and the Cambridge Social Ontology Group. The first was held in May 2014 at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge and the second in May 2017 at St Catharine's College, Cambridge.[5]
