Ken Waters Joining Department in 2014
It is with great pleasure we announce that Dr. C. Kenneth Waters, a leading figure in the philosophy of biology, has accepted nomination to a Tier I Canada Research Chair appointment in our department (effective July 2014). As noted in the influential international blog, The Philosophical Gourmet, Waters' move from the University of Minnesota at Minneapolis-St. Paul to Calgary, already home to philosophers of biology Marc Ereshefsky and Megan Delehanty, is “likely to move Calgary into the top half-dozen or so programs for philosophy of biology”.
