Professor Beall is known for his work in logic and philosophy of logic. See his site for links to his work (as well as to various elements of the “logic scene”). He also has interests in philosophy of religion and philophical theology, as well as metaphysics and epistemology.
Professor Beall has been at the University of Connecticut since 2000, though he has held numerous visiting and fractional appointments at various institutions over the years, and he spent the 2018-19 academic year as a Research Fellow at Notre Dame’s Center for Philosophy of Religion.
He takes up his new position as the O’Neill Family Chair in Philosophy at Notre Dame in the Fall of 2020.
He is known the world over as Beallzebub, Prince of Glutany (Archbishop of Connecticut) . Will he now be the Archbishop of Notre Dame?
This move has been rumoured for a while but there were worries it might not come off given Connecticut’s lack of depth in the philosopher of logic position. Overall, a great piece of business by Notre Dame and they will no doubt be reaping the benefits next season.
