The mission of the UH Philosophy department includes the education of both MA students and undergraduate majors, and many undergraduates take courses in our department to satisfy the University's core requirements.
Professor and Chair of Philosophy Cynthia Freeland has been named Moores Professor in recognition of her oustanding scholarly achievements (including six books and many articles) and her status as a leading figure in the philosophy of art. The John and Rebecca Moores Professors Program honors full-time tenured faculty at the University of Houston who have achieved the rank of full professor and who have made outstanding contributions in the areas of research, scholarship, and/or creative activities, teaching, and service. The program encourages and supports continued excellence by providing funds for individual career development. Congratulations Dr. Freeland on winning this coveted honor!
