Personal Update

So I don’t have anything particularly philosophical to write about since I am still in the trenches on papers, but I thought I would give a small personal update.

Soon (as in, within the next week) I will be interviewing for an instructor job teaching mathematical logic to 7th+ graders for the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth at their site in Hong Kong for three weeks this summer. Although it would be a ton of work getting prepared to actually be the instructor for the class, I think it would be a lot of fun to get to teach an accelerated logic sequence to a group of bright, motivated students. The course is supposed to cover about a week of sentential logic, a week of quantifier-predicate logic and a week of elementary set theory.

If that falls through, there is still the possibility of working for the Philosophy of Science Association doing a website re-design. I have not heard anything back from that in a little while, so I’m not getting my hopes up. If all else fails, I suppose I’ll be trying to find a local job.
