Rachel Fraser, associate professor of philosophy at the University of Oxford, will be moving to the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Professor Fraser works in epistemology, philosophy of language, social and political philosophy, feminism, and aesthetics. She is currently working on a book entitled Narrative Epistemology. You can learn more about her writings here and here. Fraser has also written a fair amount of public-facing work, which you can check out here.
Fraser had recently accepted an offer from the Dianoia Institute of Philosophy at Australian Catholic University just prior to it being abruptly dismantled. She will be joining the MIT philosophy faculty as associate professor (with tenure) at MIT in January, 2025.
Also hired by MIT is Tushar Menon, who was also previously at the Dianoia Institute. Menon works in philosophy of physics and philosophy of science. He’ll take up his position as senior lecturer at MIT in January, 2025.
Does that mean her rookie card I have is no longer worth anything?
To the contrary. It’s now a collector’s item.
