Four Senior Hires for UC Davis: Antonelli, Copp, Landry, & Oshana

The Department of Philosophy at the University of California at Davis, which has had significant turnover lately, has now made four senior hires.  Starting this fall:  Aldo Antonelli (logic) from the University of California at Irvine, and Elaine Landry (philosophy of mathematics and science) from the University of Calgary; and starting in fall 2009:  David Copp (ethics) and Marina Oshana (ethics, philosophy of action), both currently at the University of Florida, Gainesville.  Since the time of the fall 2006 surveys (when Davis ranked 35th overall), Davis lost Jonathan Vogel (epistemology) back to Amherst, and Paul Teller (philosophy of physics) retired.   This major set of  new hires will clearly keep Davis safely in the top 40, perhaps propel it back to the top 30.
