Lee Bowie
Lee Bowie is a professor of philosophy and the incoming dean of
the College. His philosophical work is centered in philosophy
of mind, especially philosophy of cognitive science, and in logic.
He grapples with how to bring work in neuroscience, computer theory,
cognitive psychology, and linguistics all to bear in forging a
unified view of what the mind is and how it works. His work in
logic has sought to examine how issues in modal logic, recursion
theory, and metamathematics bear on foundational
issues of mind and metaphysics. He is also the coauthor of introductory
anthologies in philosophy and in ethics. As a teacher he has long
been interested in how to teach critical thought and in the academic
advising process. He was the founding director of the Speaking,
Arguing, and Writing Program (SAW) and a founding codirector of
the Weissman Center for Leadership. He received his A.B. degree
in mathematics from Yale and his Ph.D. in philosophy from Stanford.
Amy Martin
Amy Martin is an assistant professor of English and a faculty
member in the Critical Social Thought Program. She teaches courses
in Victorian literature, Irish literature, postcolonial studies,
and gender studies. After attending Sarah Lawrence College as
an undergraduate, she completed her Ph.D. at Columbia University
and is currently at work on a book titled Alter-nations: Representing
Nationalisms, the State, and National Identities in Nineteenth-Century
Britain and Ireland. Her project examines the complex relationship
between British imperial nationalism and Irish anticolonial nationalism
and investigates the ways that national identity is imagined in
a variety of cultural texts in the Victorian period.
