The National Endowment for the Humanities has announced its Fellowships for University and College Teachers.  A good year, it seems, for philosophers!  Those who won support are Jonathan Adler (Brooklyn College/CUNY); Lisa Downing (Ohio State); Alan Goldman (William & Mary); Paul Horwich (NYU); Alfred Mele (Florida State); Dennis Sepper (Dallas); and Iain Thomson (New Mexico).  (If I missed someone while scanning through the lists, please let me know.)

Of local interest, five scholars from the University of Texas at Austin–something of a record, I suspect, for a single year–won Fellowships for University Teachers this year; the norm has been 2-3.
