Recent Events
Before too much time passes I would like to note the following:
A few weeks ago Michael Brogan successfully defended his dissertation on Levinas. It was nice to catch up a bit with Mike and his wife Meghan. Reflecting on changes in the graduate program over the last few years I was struck by the fact that although the room was full for Mike's defense there are now very few if any courses in which Levinas' works are systematically studied.
Two weeks ago Raoni Padui sucessfully defended his dissertation proposal. Raoni is writing on the theme of the transcendental in Hegel and Heidegger. The event was held in a seminar room in the Saint Augustine Center and there were so many people present that a few of us had to sit on the floor . . . including yours truly.

And also congratulations to Raoni. I have been thinking about this, and I think it is the case that he is the first person to become ABD that began the program after I graduated...
