Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, well-known for his work in a variety of areas (epistemology, ethics, moral psychology, among others), and a longtime faculty member at Dartmouth College has accepted a senior offer from the Department of Philosophy at Duke University, where he will start in Spring 2010. Duke has made a substantial investment in value theory over the last decade, with senior appointments of Allen Buchanan, Gopal Sreenivasan, Wayne Norman, and now Sinnott-Armstrong.
Meanwhile, Dartmouth has really taken some serious hits at the senior ranks over the last decade, losing, among others, Robert Fogelin to retirement, Sally Sedgwick to the University of Illinois at Chicago, Julia Driver and Roy Sorensen to Washington University in St. Louis, and now Sinnott-Armstrong.
