Peter Smith
I joined the Faculty of Philosophy as a lecturer at Easter 1998. My first real job was at UCW Aberystwyth (where there was once a good philosophy department, closed as a result of the 'Thatcher cuts') and then I was a senior lecturer at the University of Sheffield for ten years (where there is still a terrific department). Before that, in ancient history, I was at Trinity for eight years, where I took Part III Maths as an applied mathematician, Part II Moral Sciences for light relief, then stayed on trying to become a philosopher.
My philosophical curiosity used to range pretty widely. And for twelve years until the end of 1999, I was editor of the philosophy journal ANALYSIS, which was great fun but ludicrously time-consuming because I'm bad at delegating. But now I find myself back where I started, interested in a few matters logical and mathematical, and increasingly rather sceptical about the rest.
