Rachel Goodman

I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Illinois-Chicago. I did my Ph.D in the philosophy department, at the University of Chicago.

My interests are in the philosophy of mind and language. Recently, I have focused on how best to understand the distinction between singular and descriptive thought, the relation between reference-determination and maintenance/‘update’ processes for thoughts, and accounts of intra- and inter- personal semantic coordination. 

Currently, I am an associate researcher on François Recanati's ERC project Mental Files: New Foundations.
