James Frederick William Rowe

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

James F.W. Rowe is an award-winning doctoral candidate at the University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign. His core research focus is the metaphysics of time where he has developed a novel defense of the Growing Block, but his work extends to the fields of ethical and political philosophy, philosophy of mind, philosophy of religion, and the history of philosophy (with an emphasis on ancient and early modern philosophy). His exemplary track record in the classroom and development of a course in philosophy in literature led to his recognition as the first graduate student to ever win the Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching award.
