Distinguished Research Associates
We are very happy to announce the recent appointment of three very distinguished philosophers, Alvin Goldman, Dana Scott, and Holly Smith, as Distinguished Research Associates in the Department of Philosophy. All three of them have previously been Visiting Scholars in the Department, and we have very much appreciated their contributions to department life in that capacity. We are now very happy that it has been possible to arrange for them to continue their association with Berkeley on a long-term basis.
