Dorit Bar-On (philosophy of language and mind, metaethics) and Keith Simmons (philosophy of language and logi, philosophical logic), both Professors of Philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, have accepted senior offers from the Department of Philosophy at the University of Connecticut at Storrs, where they will start in fall 2014.  This is the latest in a series of senior and junior hires that has almost doubled the size of the department in recent years, and given the program especially notable strengths in areas such as philosophy of logic and language.
