directors (revised)
incidentally, i just did a little count of phd's and abd's still around the program. these are the directors; please correct me in comments if i'm wrong, and if you know for sure some of the ones i'm unclear on. by my count, we've got 18 phd's conferred, and 11 abd's at the moment.
caputo: jennifer, jamie smith, darin, michael andrews, dana, john, adam (abd), andrea (abd), greg (abd), danny (abd), mike brogan (abd)
busch: chris, joe, farhang, seth (abd), matt (abd), naz (abd ???)
schmidt: matthias, ted, shannon, jamey findling, ammon
brogan: sarah, lucio, mike shaw (abd)
carvalho: josh (abd), andy (abd ???)
scholz: steve
mccartney: tim
edited to reflect comments below. do we think naz and andy gallinger are ABD or not?
also: my understanding is that mike brogan may or may not actually complete the program at this point; that's why i didn't include him initially. but i suppose i had andy on there, so i've added mike brogan, as well.
Matt Groe is ABD
Glad to share this news with you all. Matt
Groe is officially ABD. He defended his proposal yesterday — June 21st — the first day of summer! — and here is the title of his forthcoming magnum opus:
“Ethical Coexistence Beyond Dualism: The Converging Visions of Dewey and Merleau-Ponty”
Dr. Busch is the director; Dr. Betz and Dr. Margolis are readers.
I have asked Matt reply to this post and to share with us a brief synopsis of his work. I think it is wornderul to have a Villanova PhD on MP and Dewey, showing the "convergence" — to use Matt's word — of these two great traditions.
Congratulations, Matt!
