Note: The poet of the same name is not me (I'm no poet).


    Office Hours — Spring 2009:

I am on leave for the year (sabbatical), and I will not be holding regular office hours. But I would be happy to meet with any students, whenever I'm around. For regular philosophy academic advising, Brin Bon (brin.bon@utah.edu) will be holding two different office hours for the Spring term: Tuesday mornings, 10:00-11:00, and Wednesday mornings, 10:00-11:00. You may drop by to see her without an appointment, during these hours. Additionally, if these hours do not fit with your schedule, you may schedule a meeting at some other time, with either Brin or me.
