Dear FEAST,
My department is hiring this year (AOS in early modern philosophy; AOC in informal logic or ethical theory), and I wanted to encourage FEAST folks to consider applying. We're a feminist-friendly department with a number of feminists (and active members of FEAST) on faculty.
Here's a link to the ad:

below.
Best,
Lisa
