Fritz Allhoff (Western Michigan) and some of his students have put together a new listserve:

I would like to invite you to join
Philosophy Updates; this is a mailing list meant to disseminate information
regarding philosophical happenings in North America, as well as international
happenings of broad appeal. To join, please click the link at the bottom of
this email.  Postings will be entertained regarding the following:

1.  Conferences and workshops;

2.  Calls for papers (whether for journals
or contributed volumes);

3.  Announcements of faculty positions,
post-docs, and fellowships; and

4.  Funding opportunities.

Some of the other sorts of postings that
are prevalent on the UK and, to a lesser extent, Australian listservs will not
be allowed, such as attempts to track down quotes, bibliographies, people,
etc.  The thinking here is that such postings are not of very broad interest
and frustrate people who are then confronted with unwanted emails.  If the group
wants to hereafter expand the purview of the list, we can, but I would rather
start narrowly enough so as to not ward off people who might otherwise be
interested.

Postings can only be made by members of the
list, and should be sent to philosophy-updates@googlegroups.com.
Postings will, for now, be moderated, though they will be quickly approved if
they pertain to one of the above topics.  Once the group has established an
appropriate “culture”, we might relax the moderation requirement.

I suggest that you set up mail filters so
that postings from this group are sent to a separate folder which you may then
peruse at your leisure.  All incoming emails will be from philosophy-updates@googlegroups.com,
so you may set up a filter using that address.

Finally, let me comment on Google Groups.
I chose this forum for various reasons, among which are its simplicity and ability
to allow multiple moderators; my graduate students will be assisting with the
project.  If you register to the group on a Google account, then there are
various administrative options available to you, including setting up digest
mode.  These options are available to non-Google account as well, though we
have to configure them for you.  If we can be of any help in that regard,
please send an email to wmuphilgrad@google.com.
