Nova PhDs

A forum for grads of Villanova's Philosophy PhD program

Recent Other Events in the Program
There have been several significant events in the graduate program recently.

At the end of March Naz Pantaloni defended his dissertation proposal titled “The Im/Possibility of Democracy: Derrida and Habermas”

On Tuesday night Adriel Trott defended her dissertation titled “The Challenge of Physis: Reconciling Nature and Reason in Aristotle’s Politics”

Yesterday Ashley Vaught defended his dissertation titled “The Specter of Spinoza in Schelling's Freiheitsschrift”

(I was unfortunately unable to make any of these events.)

As many of you know already, on April 6 Mike Brogan, his wife Meghan and daughter Frances welcomed Gabriel Brogan to the world. Mike et al. will be moving to Maryland. He is set to take up his new job at St. John's.

What sort of outreach are we doing to invite these new phds to join our discussion? While I am still here at Villanova I do not mind helping out . . . but I need some info. (hint, hint, Joe).

On a final note: a panel on Hannah Arendt consisting of myself, Liam Kavanagh and Azadeh Erfani was accepted for the upcoming SPEP conference.

I attended Adriel's defense, which was quite nice. Also heard from Adam recently. He has a book coming out related to his dissertation, which is exciting.

Many congratulations to Ashley, Adriel, and Mike.

Those are somewhat ominous dissertation titles, what with the challenges and specters...
