Book Cover, New Job, &c.
It’s been awhile since I’ve updated anything here. That’s a sign of business not laziness, of course. (It’s also a function of the increasingly-useful way in which status updates are handled on facebook.)
Two main pieces of news.
First, I am now living up in Eugene, Oregon where I have a one-year appointment as a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at the University of Oregon. I am (if it’s not obvious) quite pleased to be up here: great colleagues, great graduate students, great program, and a great place to live.
Hunkering down for a solid year of solid work in Eugene should give me the opportunity to update the blog more often. So I plan to start on that.
Second, it now appears as if my book Pragmatism as Transition: Historicity and Hope in James, Dewey, and Rorty will be out with Columbia University Press very soon (sometime next month, apparently). I was quite pleased that Columbia was able to get the rights to an image of the painting that I have long hoped would grace the cover of the book, Ducham’s Nude Descending a Staircase, no.2. You can read a little more about the book on Columbia UP’s website.
So, more soon I hope. I’m investing lots of time in lots of projects right now. Some of them will be bloggable in short order.
