Dr. Nicole Wyatt

I joined the department in 2000 after completing my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. Between January 2013 and June 2023, I had the honour to serve as Head of Department. My main academic interests are in philosophy of language and logic; however, I am somewhat prone to dabble from time to time in medieval philosophy and philosophy of sex and love. I regularly teach courses on computability and undecidability, speech act theory, the semantics/pragmatics distinction, pornography and silencing, the metaphysics of race and gender, and Aquinas. I also teach survey courses on medieval philosophy, 20th-century analytic philosophy, philosophy of logic, and philosophy of language, and at the introductory level I teach our Sex, Love, and Death course.

My publications include (see PhilPapers for more):

"Against logical generalism" with Gillman Payette, Synthese 198 (Suppl 20): 4813-4830, 2019.
"Logical Particularism" with Gillman Payette, in Pluralisms in Truth and Logic, Palgrave Macmillan, pp. 277-299, 2018.
"Logical Pluralism and Logical Form" with Gillman Payette, Logique et Analyse 61 (241): 25-42, 2018.
"How Do Logics Explain?" with Gillman Payette, Australasian Journal of Philosophy 96 (1): 157-167, 2018.
"On the Very Idea of Sex with Robots" with Mark Migotti, in Robot Sex: Social and Ethical Implications, Mit Press, pp. 15-27, 2017.

I am the Editor at PhilPapers for Logical Pluralism and Feminist Philosophy of Language and a member of the Editorial Board for the Open Logic Project. I am also the President of the Society for Exact Philosophy and a past member of the Board of Directors for the Canadian Philosophical Association.
