Huddleston from Birkbeck to Warwick

Andrew Huddleston (19th-century Continental philosophy [esp. Nietzsche], aesthetics), currently Reader in Philosophy at Birkbeck College, University of London, has accepted appointment as Professor of Philosophy at the University of Warwick starting the 2021-22 academic year. 

(His move will affect the recommendations for post-graduate Nietzsche study:  Birkbeck is a less attractive choice [although Ken Gemes remains there part-time], while Warwick will remain a leading choice [Peter Poellner has retired, but the addition of Huddleston renews the strength in that area].)
