Eric Swanson is a Professor of Philosophy and Linguistics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he has been teaching since 2006. He serves as Placement Director and Course Scheduler for the Department of Philosophy within the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts. His office is located in Angell Hall, where he holds regular office hours for students. Dr. Swanson received his academic training from prestigious institutions: Ph.D. in Philosophy (minor in Linguistics), Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006 M.A. in Philosophy, Tufts University, 2001 M.A. in Slavic Languages and Literatures, Yale University, 1999 B.A. in Literature, Bard College, 1997 Professor Swanson's research spans multiple interfaces between language and philosophical domains. His current work focuses on social and political philosophy of language and metaethics, particularly examining how language force extends beyond apparent information shared among discourse participants. He has made significant contributions to understanding relationships between language and epistemology (epistemic modals and conditionals), language and metaphysics (causal talk), and language and ethics (deontic modals). His theoretical frameworks include 'constraint semantics' and 'ordering supervaluationism,' providing innovative approaches to linguistic theorizing across these domains. His recent publications reveal a trajectory moving from technical linguistic-philosophical work toward more socially and politically engaged analyses of language. The most recent articles increasingly address issues of ideology, normativity, and political dimensions of language use while maintaining rigorous formal approaches. His work consistently bridges analytic philosophy of language with broader social concerns, demonstrating how technical linguistic phenomena connect to larger questions about power, ideology, and social structure. Professor Swanson has taught a diverse range of courses from introductory philosophy to specialized graduate seminars. In Fall 2025, he will teach the graduate proseminar for first-year Ph.D. students and Philosophy 340 (Minds and Machines). His undergraduate teaching includes Introduction to Philosophy, Philosophy and Narrative, Introduction to Formal Philosophical Methods, Minds and Machines, Language and Mind, and specialized courses on Philosophy of Language with a focus on contemporary AI. At the graduate level, he has taught numerous proseminars and specialized courses on topics including metasemantics, normative language, social and political philosophy of language, underdetermination, and discourse constraints on anaphora.

Una Stojnic is a Professor of Philosophy at Princeton University, holding the title of Charles G. Osgood University Preceptor. Her academic work centers on the intricate relationship between language, meaning, and context, with particular emphasis on philosophical linguistics and semantic theory. Her research interests span Philosophy of Language , Semantics , and Pragmatics , focusing on contextual dynamics in discourse coherence, lexical effects, and metasemantic frameworks. Stojnic investigates how attentional mechanisms shape meaning construction, examining phenomena ranging from inflammatory language and slurring articulations to temporal indexicals and proper naming conventions. Her scholarship bridges analytic philosophy with empirical linguistics, challenging rigid semantic boundaries through studies of felicitous underspecification and inferential constraints. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory exploring contextual sensitivity in meaning determination , with increasing focus on sociopolitical dimensions of language (e.g., inflammatory rhetoric, pejorative terms) alongside foundational work in discourse coherence and temporal semantics. Her 2025 publications demonstrate ongoing engagement with real-world linguistic violence while maintaining rigorous formal analysis of semantic structures. No scientific awards were explicitly documented in the provided materials. Professor Stojnic maintains an active research program with continuous publication output through 2025, though specific grant funding details and student advising relationships were not disclosed in the source materials. Her work appears deeply integrated with Princeton's philosophical community through her preceptorship role and ongoing scholarly contributions.
