Bwog’s preferred Nantucket-based locally owned weekly newspaper The Nantucket Independent is reporting that religion professor Mark Lilla and adjunct associate professor of visual arts Diana Cooper are engaged to be married.

Diana Cooper went to Harvard undergrad and got a masters in art from Hunter College. Mark Lilla went to the University of Michigan and the Kennedy School at Harvard, and despite Wikipedia’s omission of his editorship, he did, for a time, edit conservative quarterly The Public Interest.

Mazel Tov professors Cooper and Lilla, we look forward to the eventual New York Times wedding announcement.
