To be clear for history, the faculty of the University of California have spoken. The question now is, will the leadership of the #UC system choose to be a #harvard or a #columbia ?

We celebrated the new philosophy department yesterday at UC Merced with balloons and ice cream…excited about the future of philosophy here! #philosophy #UCMerced
Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since #UCMerced broke ground. Very cool to see plans for the new Medical Education building and to generally be surrounded by so much positivity.

It was really cool to see a packed house for our very first #philosophy and #literature event yesterday afternoon (had to add chairs!), with Robert Pippin providing an excellent lecture on our search for meaning in the arts, with a focus on film. Nigel Hatton, who organized the event, will be part of the new philosophy department at #UCMerced if that gets approved, and will be organizing more events on #LiteratureAndPhilosophy going forward. Stay tuned at https://philosophy.ucmerced.edu/events
