Amia Srinivasan to be next Chichele Professor of Social & Political Theory at Oxford

Professor Srinivasan, who has an eclectic set of interests ranging across epistemology, moral and political philosophy, and the history of philosophy (including post-Kantian European philosophy), is currently an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Oxford and Fellow of St. John's College, Oxford.  There was, I am told, something of a struggle as to whether the Chichele Chair (which is part of the Politics Faculty) would remain oriented towards philosophy (as it was, for example, during the many years that G.A. Cohen held it), or whether someone more oriented towards history would get it.  This is certainly a victory for philosophy at Oxford.
