The Department of Philosophy at Northwestern University has made a senior offer to Mitchell Green (philosophy of language and mind), who is currently Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Virginia.  In addition to the recent appointment of Sanford Goldberg (epistemology, philosophy of language and mind) from the University of Kentucky, as well as several other appointments (on which I’m awaiting confirmation from those involved before announcing) in areas like epistemology, the Northwestern Department appears to be rebuilding in a very different form from its prior incarnation (a form which probably had much to do with the Department’s implosion a half-dozen years ago).
