About

Nicole Wyatt is the Head of the Department Philosophy at the University of Calgary. She joined the department in 2000 after completing her PhD in Philosophy at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, N.Z. She became Head in January of 2013.

Her main academic interests are in philosophy of logic and language. However she is somewhat prone to dilettantism, and dabbles from time to time in medieval philosophy and philosophy of sex and love. This is academic code for she writes about whatever interests her when she gets up in the morning, and only rarely things that don’t. Tenure makes this less foolhardy than it used to be. Aspiring academics should not do as she does.

She has no cats and no dogs. She has a husband and a daughter, at least she did last time she checked. Her next most significant relationship is with her bicycle.

She likes her coffee black, her eggs in omelet form, and her friends angry and bitter.
