A quick note:
The program has staged two dissertation defenses recently. Last week Seth Wright defended his project, titled "The Foundations of Productive History in Mimesis and Narrative Identity." This past Monday Andrea Hurst defended her project, titled "Derrida or Lacan: The Revolutionary's Choice On the 'Plural Logic of The Aporia' in Deconstruction and Lacanian Psychoanalysis." Due to an unfortunate miscommunication, I missed Seth's defense; due to a scheduling conflict I also missed Andrea's. In any case, all the reports I have recieved about both events are quite positive. (We should perhaps also acknowledge that earlier this term Mike Shaw defended his dissertation, on the role of desire in Aristotle's ontology. I DID make that defense: it went very well, and Mike handled himself quite impressively. I think that if academic philosophy does not work out for Mike that he should run for office . . .)
The program continues to turn out high quality phds on a fairly regular basis — this is a sign of the good health of the program.
