Sobel, Dowell from Bowling Green to Nebraska

David Sobel (ethics, metaethics), Associate Professor of Philosophy and Chair of the Department of Philosophy, and Janice Dowell (philosophy of mind and language), Assistant Professor of Philosophy, both at Bowling Green State University, have accepted offers from the Department of Philosophy at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln:  Sobel will become Chambers Professor of Philosophy and Dowell will become Assistant Professor of Philosophy.  That's both a big loss for Bowling Green (which will, however, continue to have a strong presence in moral and political philosophy, both theoretical and applied) and a big gain for Nebraska.
