…a PhD student here at UT Austin who has just won a prestigious Charlotte W. Newcombe Dissertation Fellowship to support finishing his doctoral dissertation on "A Treatise of Humean Nature" (which David Sosa and I are supervising).  Neil will be known to denizens of the blogosphere for his "Ethical Werewolf" blog and to those who follow my Nietzsche postings as my co-editor of the Nietzsche and Morality volume forthcoming with OUP (should be out in early 2007, we hope).  I believe our last Newcombe winner from the PhD program at Texas was Matt Evans, who wrote a splendid thesis on Plato’s moral psychology.

Congratulations to Neil and to all other winners of Newcombe Fellowships this year!  I invite winners or their advisors to post that information below in the format:  Neil Sinhababu (Texas):  "A Treatise of Humean Nature" (Supervisors:  Leiter & Sosa).

No anonymous postings, and please post only once (posts may take awhile to appear, as I’ve only just returned to town and am wading through tons of e-mails!).
