As mentioned in my Summer 2022 Plans, to help keep readers up to date with philosophy news this summer, I’ll be be creating a space each month for individuals and institutions to share news. ¶ This is the first of these, for the remainder of May. ¶ If you have news of the sort that would typically appear on Daily Nous, please share it in the comments. By now most readers have a sense of what such news is, but just in case, here are some examples: faculty moves at the associate level or higher involving at least one department with a graduate program in philosophy philosophers winning awards, prizes, or other honors philosophers receiving substantial grants new philosophy journals new philosophy programs new research resources for philosophers new associations or groups for philosophers policy changes of note at philosophy journals, publishers, institutions data regarding philosophers, philosophy students, and philosophy (or efforts to gather such data) innovative presentations of...
