Seventeen scholars, 11 men and 6 women, joined Boston College’s faculty this academic year, 15 as assistant professors and two as associate professors. We introduce eight of them in this issue of @BC, including a philosopher who investigates the phenomenology of religion, a scientist who is developing computers that can make sense of complex and cluttered visual fields, and a psychologist investigating the brain circuitry of hunger. We will present the rest of the University’s new faculty in a forthcoming edition.
