Philosophy Department

The Philosophy Department at UConn continues to expand. It is now one of the best places in the world for Philosophical Logic as well as for Africana Philosophy. It is an outstanding place to study Philosophy of Mind and Language from the standpoint of Cognitive Science, as well as Social Epistemology, and an up-and-coming place to study Moral, Social, and Political Philosophy especially concerning issues of injustice.

We have recently instituted the UConn Assistant Research Professor Program, in which we hire three young faculty for three year terms devoted to research with a light teaching load.

Recent Ph.D.s have secured positions at St. Andrews University, Oxford University and The Naval Post-Graduate School, the University of Delhi, the University of Iowa, the University of Idaho, the University of Konstanz, Monash University, and Yonsei University. The current group of graduate students come from Greece, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, Canada, South Korea, India, Turkey and the United Kingdom, as well as the U.S.
