With this end of the year we are remembering our colleague Marius Backmann, who tragically passed in September 2025.
We’re honored to share that his paper “How Thick is Now? The Prospects of Thick Presentism” has been published posthumously in Metaphysica.
We are thinking of you, Marius. ✨

I'm late on this but I've just read that Krister Segerberg passed early February:
www.uu.se/en/departmen...
He's been an inspiration way back during my MA, and I'm still amazed at how kind, constructive (and in retrospect so patient!) he was when I had the privilege to meet him some years later.
Prof. Johanna Thoma has been interviewed by the team of the Media Storm podcast, in an episode investigating how universities handle cases of sexual misconduct.
You can listen to the episode here: mediastormpodcast.com/podcast/epis...
Enjoy!
A pretty timely seminar coming up this summer, jointly taught by my colleagues Julian Fink (Philosophy) and Hartmut Egger (Econ). Philosophy and Economics at its best!
