Joshua Shaw

I don't know if I ever would have applied for promotion to full professor if had not taken up a second career outside of philosophy as a fiction writer. Writing short stories rekindled my love for doing research. My successes in publishing my stories also led me to become a more ambitious, confident philosopher. Ray Vukcovich's collection, Meet Me in the Moon Room, played an important in inspiring me to try my hand at writing fiction. He is also a writer who has not received enough attention.
