Nomy Arpaly, lately of Rice University, has accepted a job offer at Brown and will be starting in the Fall. This is great news for Brown. Brown is normally known as a mind&epistemology department, largely because our two biggest superstars are Jaegwon Kim and Ernie Sosa. But between Dave Estlund, Jamie Dreier, Bernard Reginster, Felicia Ackerman and now Nomy Arpaly, we have a pretty good group in ethics as well.
