Paul L. Franco

Since 2012, I have taught in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Washington-Seattle under a variety of titles. I'm now an Associate Teaching Professor. Before UW, I taught at Haverford College for a couple of years. I also taught at the University of Pennsylvania, where I earned my PhD in 2011.

My research is in the history of analytic philosophy, history of philosophy of science, philosophy of science, and their intersections. Find out more at the research tab above or click here.

Teaching widely has informed my research. I teach 5-7 courses a year. Most regularly, I teach Intro, Intro to Ethics, Modern Philosophy, Philosophy of Language, and History of 20th Century Analytic Philosophy courses. I've taught grad seminars on conceptions of analysis in 20th century philosophy, the history of analytic metaethics, and the history of values in science.

I'm currently Director of Graduate Studies at UW (or Graduate Program Coordinator), and the treasurer for the International Society for the History of Philosophy of Science, or HOPOS. Find out more at the service tab above or click here.

I was born and raised in Roswell, NM, and most of my extended family still lives in New Mexico. My primo made the New Mexico-themed hat I'm wearing in my picture.
