Nova PhDs

A forum for grads of Villanova's Philosophy PhD program

Web Presence
Folks,

Not only "novaphds" is now on google, but if you type the words villanova and philosophy, we are among the first hits. This means that potential graduate students, during the research on different programs, would come across our blog. This is great since we are trying to show that one of Villanova phd program's greatest strength — its community of grad students — continues beyond the boundaries of St. Augustine Center grad lounge.

indeed! the 5th link that pops up! that's quite a coup. i wonder when some of our villanova faculty members will find us here.

incidentally, has anyone seen this web site that also pops up on google with a search of "villanova and philosophy"?

The erraticimpact site was/is Danne Polk's. That is why it is associated with our program. For a while, its CFP section was top notch; I have not checked it out more recently though.

Danne Polk--there is a blast from the past. Pre-us past, really. Did he ever become ABD or anything like that? I am assuming that he no longer has any institutional link to the department...

i don't know if he actually went abd, or defended a proposal, or what, but i guess his work just didn't find enough support for him to continue at villanova.

Danne, actually, was ABD and had about 150 pages of the diss written the august of the year I came to Villanova but he consequently chose to the business route and did not finish. That's all I know though.
