Avery Kolers, Professor and Department Chair of Philosophy at the University of Louisville, will be moving to the University of Tennessee Department of Philosophy, where he will be Professor and Department Chair.
Professor Kolers works in social and political philosophy and ethics. He is the author of A Moral Theory of Solidarity (2016) and Land, Conflict, and Justice: A Political Theory of Territory (2009), among other works, which you can learn more about here.
He takes up his new position at the University of Tennessee in January, 2026.
Congratulations to Tennessee, and to Avery. And commiserations to Louisville. And, if that photo is recent, all I can say is that Avery must have done some kind of deal with the devil at a crossroads in Georgia.
Proud of my old grad department–my best to him and them.
