Here is a series of interesting recent posts from Brian Leiter:
Are you interested in/involved in ethics at the moment? Wondering what are the ‘hot’ topics according to some academics? If so, hit the link and see what some people have to say.
The same goes for those interested in epistemology. Beyond the link lie some answers, though I’ll leave the question of whether what is discussed is really hot or not to experts (i.e. not me).
In a set of recent posts Leiter identifies (a) some concerns surrounding funding in the UK (hope that if you’re applying/going off to study there that it won’t affect you); (b) the policies departments have in place for when faculty receive external funding. (b) in particular was eye-opening; I hadn’t really thought about what would happen when faculty received additional funding, and it’s good to keep in mind for the future.
