- Peter Suber is the creator of the game Nomic and a leading voice in the open access movement. He is a senior research professor of philosophy at Earlham College, the open access project director at Public Knowledge, a senior researcher at SPARC, and a Fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center and Office for Scholarly Communication. He is also a member of the Advisory Boards at the Wikimedia Foundation, the Open Knowledge Foundation, and other organizations devoted to open access and an information commons. Suber graduated from Earlham in 1973, received a PhD degree in philosophy in 1978 and a JD degree in 1982, both from Northwestern University. He worked as a stand-up comic from 1976 to 1981, including an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1976. Suber returned to Earlham College as a professor from 1982 to 2003 where he taught classes on philosophy, law, logic, and Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, among other topics. Suber participated in the 2001 meeting that led to the world's first major international open access initiative, the Budapest Open Access Initiative. He writes Open Access News and the SPARC Open Access Newsletter, considered the most authoritative blog and newsletter on open access. He is also the co-founder, with Robin Peek, of the Open Access Directory, and founder of the Open Access Tracking Project. In philosophy, Suber is the author of The Paradox of Self-Amendment (Lang 1990), the first book-length study of self-referential paradoxes in law, and The Case of the Speluncean Explorers: Nine New Opinions (Routledge 1998), the first book-length "rehearing" of Lon Fuller's classic, fictional case. He has also written many articles on self-reference, ethics, formal and informal logic, the philosophy of law, the history of philosophy, and open access to science and scholarship. Suber is married to Liffey Thorpe, professor emerita of Classics at Earlham College. Since 2003 they have lived with their two daughters in Brooksville, Maine.
