Harold Noonan (metaphysics, philosophical logic, philosophy of mind and language), a longtime member of the faculty at the University of Birmingham, has accepted appointment as Professor at Nottingham starting this fall. Birmingham, sadly, has suffered a number of losses in recent years, including the untimely death of Gregory McCulloch, and the losses of Rob Hopkins (to Sheffield), Alex Miller (to a research post at Cardiff, then on to Macquarie), and Jose Zalabardo (to Univ Coll London).
