Four new part-time “Professorial Fellows” at the Arche Center at St. Andrews

Brian Leiter

They are:  Joshua Dever (philosophy of language) from Texas/Austin; Matthew McGrath (metaphysics) from Missouri; L.A. Paul (metaphysics) from North Carolina/Chapel Hill; and Gabriel Uzquiano (philosophy of mathematics, metaphysics, logic) from Southern California.  The appointments are for five years, commencing April 1, 2014 (except McGrath who starts September 1 2014).   These are officially quarter-time appointments, though as we noted in the case of Professor Paul, her time in residence will be five weeks each year.  (Professor Uzquiano confirms that he will also be at St. Andrews for five weeks each year.)
