For those who might be interested: I have a new paper forthcoming in Erkenntnis. It's about whether linguistic data on hedging support the popular knowledge norm of assertion (spoiler: it's not so clear that they do).

New experimental conceptual engineering paper!

Does the name you give to novel ideas affect people's understanding of those ideas? Yes, but only certain kinds of names and less so when the idea is explicitly defined.

We're hiring at Umeå. The position is full professor - but don't be intimidated by the professor title - you don't have to be fancy to apply. I'd say anyone with a potentially tenureable CV has a shot (obviously fanciness is a bonus). Area is pretty open. For details see ad below:
