Students Interested in Philosophy of Physics Take Note

Michael Dickson, a quite highly regarded, though still relatively young, philosopher of physics in the History and Philosophy of Science Program at Indiana University at Bloomington has accepted an appointment at the University of South Carolina (his undergraduate alma mater) for next year. Dickson, who has rebuffed offers and entreaties from even stronger departments than Indiana, is really quite a catch for South Carolina, which already has RIG Hughes, another very reputable philosopher of physics. Overall, the South Carolina department has improved markedly over the last decade; students interested in philosophy of physics, in particular, might want to take a look now that Dickson is moving there as well.
