Background Christopher HomÕs
research is focused in the philosophy of language and metaethics, in
particular, issues surrounding structured propositions and expressive
language. His article ÒThe
Semantics of Racial EpithetsÓ has appeared in the Journal of Philosophy (2008), and his article ÒA Puzzle About
PejorativesÓ is forthcoming in Philosophical
Studies. His current research
involves racial epithets and their theoretical intersection with issues in
metaphysics, law, psychology and sociology. Before coming to Texas Tech
University, where he presently teaches, Hom taught at Washington University
in St. Louis, and he was a U.C. Faculty Fellow Postdoc at University of California,
Santa Cruz. He holds a BA in
Philosophy from University of California, Davis and a PhD in Philosophy from
the Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science (LPS) at University of
California, Irvine. Christopher Hom is currently
on leave for the 2011-12 academic year at the Stanford Humanities Center. |
