More good news to come…

…but some has already arrived. I just found out today that I’ve been awarded a three-year doctoral fellowship from the Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council! This is exciting news for many reasons, not least of which it will provide a little extra money over the next three years and it will give me a few extra terms without teaching obligations so I can focus on research.

Oh, and the baby should arrive no later than Thursday (Barb’s being induced on Wed.), so, needless to say, we’re having a pretty good week.

UM Grad Students in Action

I suspect that most of our regular readers won’t be interested in this, but I’ll post it anyway, and let you decide for yourself. The philosophy grad students here at Michigan have recently started a group blog as place for informal philosophical interaction. I’m a contributor to the blog, and have already contributed a post, which has generated some discussion. So, if you want to see what kinds of things concern philosophy grad students, or if you’re just interested in figuring out what exactly takes place during philosophical interchange, check out Go Grue! from time to time.

(Grue? What’s that?)

(For the interested: I’ll post links to my Go Grue! posts in the sidebar. Read them at your own risk.)
