The Philosophy Department at the University of Toronto has made two tenure-track offers to a philosophical couple, Benjamin Hellie (philosophy of mind) and Jessica Wilson (metaphysics, philosophy of science) who are, respectively, assistant professors at Cornell University and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Last year, Hellie and Wilson turned down offers from Ohio State University.
Toronto, which has established itself as one of the leading centers for value theory and history of philosophy in North America, is, with these and other recent offers, looking to establish a stronger presence in philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and cognate fields.
Of course, the other possibility is that Toronto is looking to establish a presence in the blogosphere!
