The Department of Philosophy is pleased to announce that professor Helga Varden has been elected as the Central Division Representative to the Board of Officers of the American Philosophical Association. Varden will serve a three-year term from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2027.

We’re also very pleased to note that alumna, Krista K. Thomason (PhD, ’09, philosophy), who is now an associate professor at Swarthmore College, has been elected as Member-at-Large to the Board of Officers.

The American Philosophical Association (APA) promotes the discipline and profession of philosophy, both within the academy and in the public arena. The APA supports the professional development of philosophers at all levels and works to foster greater understanding and appreciation of the value of philosophical inquiry.

Congratulations to professors Varden and Thomason!
