Nova PhDs

A forum for grads of Villanova's Philosophy PhD program

SPEP Update
I know the conference schedule won't come out for another few weeks, but the official letters of acceptance came out a couple weeks ago--so, I figured that I would let you know that the following Nova PhDs-related panel has been accepted:

The Contemporary Import of Hegel's Aesthetics

Ammon Allred, “On the Lyrical Presentation of History: Hegel and the Modern Poem”

J.C. Berendzen, “The Public Design of the Shape of Spirit: Hegel and Contemporary Architecture”

Theodore George, “Radical Passivity, Resistance, and Art: Agamben’s Unworking Of Hegel’s Aesthetics”

I, personally, am certainly looking forward to sharing the stage with my esteemed former colleagues. The loser of the panel buys the shots...

Are there any other Nova folks out there who are giving papers at SPEP?

Honestly, there is something in the acceptance letter about suggesting a moderator. I will look into it and see if A) I am remembering that correctly and B) if it is too late.

okay, just let me know -- i'm planning on being up regardless, but i didn't have anything at a conference-ready stage for this deadline. teaching all these new courses is kind of a bear (i'm doing an ancient course and a seminar just on nietzsche in the fall), although i am enjoying it!
